Abstract
A system and method for processing data includes organizing medical information in a concept frame data structure, which is adapted to include medical measurements and related metadata. The medical information is analyzed to extract further information using information extractors and to store extracted medical information in the concept frame data structure. References are stored to appropriate visualization methods along with an associated concept in the concept frame data structure.
Claims23
A method for processing data, comprising:
- organizing medical information in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in a concept frame data structure, which organizes the medical information for a single pathological or anatomical entity and includes medical measurements and related metadata;
- analyzing the medical information to extract further information using information extractors and storing extracted medical information in the concept frame;
- and
- storing references to appropriate visualization methods along with an associated concept in the concept frame by relating concept frames for different pathological or anatomical entities at a given time according to knowledge extracted from medical ontologies to construct a Concept-Graph of a patient at that time.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for processing data, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
- organizing medical information in a concept frame data structure, which organizes the medical information for a single pathological or anatomical entity and includes medical measurements and related metadata;
- analyzing the medical information to extract further information using information extractors and storing extracted medical information in the concept frame;
- and
- storing references to appropriate visualization methods along with an associated concept in the concept frame by relating concept frames for different pathological or anatomical entities at a given time according to knowledge extracted from medical ontologies to construct a Concept-Graph of a patient at that time.
A method for processing data, comprising:
- organizing medical information in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in a concept frame data structure, which organizes the medical information for a single pathological or anatomical entity and includes medical measurements and related metadata;
- analyzing the medical information to determine relevant analytics that can be applied to the concept frame to extract further information;
- and
- applying the analytics to the concept frame to generate a concept graph for a given patient event by relating concept frames for different pathological or anatomical entities at a given time according to knowledge extracted from medical ontologies to construct the concept graph of a patient at that time, the concept graph representing related medical information existing in different modes, which are associated with a given concept for the concept frame.
An analytic processing system, comprising:
- an analytics repository configured to store one or more analytical programs in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium to analyze medical information;
- a workflow mediator implemented in software on a program storage media and configured to receive information source data structures and concept frame data structures to build an analysis request, wherein the concept frame data structures organize medical information for a single pathological or anatomical entity;
- a pipeline manager implemented in software on a program storage media and configured to receive the analysis request and determine relevant analytics from the analytics repository to be used to analyze the information source data structures and the concept frame data structures;
- and
- an unstructured information management architecture (UIMA) configured to classify, organize and extract additional data from medical information in the information source data structures and the concept frame data structures and render the medical information in a graphical context, the graphical context including a Concept-Graph of a patient at a given time such that the Concept-Graph relates concept frames for different pathological or anatomical entities at the given time according to knowledge extracted from medical ontologies.
