Abstract
A system for processing medical claims, comprising a processor configured to receive device-generated information from a medical device. The device-generated information includes performance information. The processor generates a first biometric signature, and using the device-generated information, generates a second biometric signature, wherein the second biometric signature uses the performance information. Using the first and second biometric signatures, the processor generates a signature comparison. Using the signature comparison, the processor generates a signature indicator and transmits the signature indicator.
Core Innovation
A telemedicine-oriented medical claim processing framework receives device-generated information from a medical device for a user, wherein the device-generated information includes performance information. The framework uses previously obtained information for the user or other users, where the previously obtained information at least partially includes information other than the performance information, to generate a first biometric signature for the user, and uses the device-generated information to generate a second biometric signature for the user.
The framework uses the first biometric signature and the second biometric signature to generate a signature comparison. Using the signature comparison, the framework generates a signature indicator for the user and transmits the signature indicator. In refinements, the signature indicator includes a statistical measure quantifying the degree of similarities or differences between the first and second biometric signatures.
In refinements, the device-generated information includes at least one of vital sign information, images, and medical device use information. The framework further determines device-based medical coding information and uses the device-based medical coding information to generate the second biometric signature, and may also generate an emergency biometric signature for emergency comparison using biometric signatures. Additional signature components include kinesiological signatures, with kinesiological signature components used in both the first biometric signature and the second biometric signature.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover three related formulations that share the same inventive sequence: generate a first biometric signature from previously obtained information excluding performance information, generate a second biometric signature from device-generated performance information, compare the signatures to generate a signature comparison, produce a signature indicator, and transmit the signature indicator. Across the independent-claim families, additional refinements include device-based medical coding determination, kinesiological signature components, and emergency biometric signature generation.
Generate first and second biometric signatures from different information sources
Receive device-generated information from a medical device for a user, wherein the device-generated information includes performance information; using previously obtained information for the user or other users at least partially including information other than the performance information, generate a first biometric signature; using the device-generated information, generate a second biometric signature wherein the second biometric signature uses the performance information; using the first and second biometric signatures generate a signature comparison; using the signature comparison generate a signature indicator for the user; and transmit the signature indicator.
Statistical similarity or difference signature indicator
A system where the signature indicator displays a statistical measure quantifying the degree of similarities or differences between a first biometric signature and a second biometric signature.
Second biometric signature using device-based medical coding information
A system where, using the device-generated information, a processor determines device-based medical coding information and then generates the second biometric signature using the device-based medical coding information.
Kinesiological signatures in biometric signatures
A system configured so that the first and second biometric signatures each include respective kinesiological signatures.
Emergency biometric signature generation
A system further generating an emergency biometric signature using the processor.
The core coverage is the dual biometric signature generation from previously obtained information excluding performance information and from device-generated performance information, followed by signature comparison, signature indicator generation, and transmission. Dependent refinements further characterize the signature indicator with statistical measures, add kinesiological signature components, optionally introduce emergency biometric signature generation, and introduce device-based medical coding information as an input for generating the second biometric signature.
