Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/705,296 entitled “Remote Monitoring with Artificial Intelligence and Awareness Machines” filed Jun. 19, 2020, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to artificial intelligence, real-time processing, and, more particularly, a system and method for intelligent awareness as an aspect of a communitywide care.

BACKGROUND

Pandemics may be inherently uncertain, undergo rapid progression, and be widely disruptive. The current COVID-19 pandemic poses pressing challenges not seen with recent pandemics. The mortality rate and contagiousness of COVID-19 is likely to be higher than that seen in the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. The 1918 Pandemic Influenza occurred in three waves across the spring, fall, and winter of 1918. The 1918 Pandemic Influenza spread globally over a year, while COVID-19 reached a global scope within weeks. Pandemic-related strain on critical care infrastructure and services (CCIS) may have made the inherent weakness of a typical in-person-care (also referred to as brick-and-mortar) model apparent. The current standard of care, financial incentive structure, and infrastructure may rely heavily on brick-and-mortar based health services. In waiting rooms, patients and non-patients may be vulnerable to exposure to COVID-19. Patients with other chronic illnesses and conditions susceptible to COVID-19 complications may be especially at risk. COVID-19 may have upended earlier best practices. The critical care system is especially strained, leaving many non-COVID-19 but traditionally high-risk patients without care. Moreover, the pandemic may have pushed care services (of type comprising at least one of health, community welfare, emergency, financial, employment, transportation, and combination thereof) at all levels to strained conditions not seen before. For example, some communities have seen their health and social care system brought to their breaking point as localities run out of personal protective equipment (PPE), ICU (intensive care unit) beds, and ventilators, among others. For some communities, rationing care services (e.g., health services) may have been unavoidable.
In an embodiment, the crisis may not be limited to healthcare. Other affected care services comprise at least one of infrastructure, service, wellbeing in general, and combination thereof and relate to areas comprising at least one of health, welfare, emergency, finance, employment, transportation, entertainment, logistics, retail, governance, and combination thereof. Communication and data voids due to uncertainty around the trajectory of COVID-19 may have caused fear and misinformation. Awareness machines and AI may have the capability and readiness to make a wider constructive impact not only within local communities, but globally.
In an embodiment, one or more care services may be affected by one or more crisis (e.g., other than COVID-19) due to one or more adversity of a basis comprising at least one of: environmental (e.g., natural disturbances, species extinction, etc.), shortages and wastages (e.g., of resources, talents, etc.), societal (e.g., social disturbance), business (e.g., processes related to supply chain, distribution, procurement, fulfillment, etc.), attacks (e.g., wars, demonstrations, cyber-attacks, attacks on goodwill and reputation, and combination thereof), and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the one or more crisis may be due to one or more change (e.g., anticipated, unanticipated, avoidable, unavoidable, etc.) of a basis comprising at least one of: infrastructure (e.g., related to autonomous driving and its support structure such as electric grid, supply and refueling, utility provisioning, etc.), transportation (e.g., road conditions, autonomous driving, public transportation, etc.), societal (e.g., way of life, civic constructs, institutions, etc.), behavioral (e.g., individual habits, crowd dynamics, sentiment, cognitive decision making and reasoning in general, etc.; other examples are behaviors related to autonomous driving, new technologies, new ideas, etc.), markets (e.g., financial, housing, wholesale and retail, etc.), and combination thereof.

SUMMARY

One or more crisis may be overcome with awareness machines and their role in one or more AI-based communitywide care comprising at least one of: domain monitoring (e.g., comprising at least one of collection, aggregation, analysis, transformation, delivery, presentation, persistence, and combination thereof of data); information exchange (e.g., comprising at least one of retrieval, processing, delivery, presentation, and communication in general); intelligence generation (e.g., for purposes comprising at least one of prioritizing, coordinating, assessing risk and opportunity, choosing, decision-making in general, and combination thereof); and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, a communitywide care for prevention and mitigation of the COVID-19 disease is designed for real-time remote monitoring of an event. The communitywide care is designed to take real-time observations of patient symptoms, process the observation to detect an onset of an instance of the event and generate one or more intelligence (e.g., of a basis comprising at least one of: the onset, the instance, the event, and combination thereof), and, upon detection, deliver a notification constructed from the intelligence.
In an embodiment, the communitywide care (supported by a first system) exchanges one or more piece of information (e.g., comprising one or more intelligence, one or more observation, etc.) with one or more second communitywide care (supported by one or more second system), to generally improve performance of detection of an onset (of the instance of the event) and improve quality of the intelligence.
In an embodiment, a performance measure for a communitywide care is formulated with a first metric (of a basis, for example, comprising at least one of confusion matrix, truth table, Bayesian network, and combination thereof) and a second metric. The evaluated first metric for a first observation of the communitywide care and the evaluated second metric for a second observation of the communitywide care are provided to one or more entity, which enables the one or more entity to gain one or more insight of a basis comprising at least one of: performance of the communitywide care, viability of the communitywide care, improvement of the performance measure, and combination thereof.

In general, a performance measure of a communitywide care (and its system) for a target community may relate to the communitywide care's (and its system's) ability comprising at least one of: to serve the target community, minimize loss and maximize gain for one or more beneficiary (comprising at least one of the target community, administrator of the communitywide care, administrator in general, member of the target community, commercial and government entities related to the target community, and combination thereof), and combination thereof. One or more administrator may construct one or more metric for the performance measure to convert one or more observation of one or more operation related to the communitywide care into a concrete mathematical structure comprising at least one of definition, quantity, matrix, network, complex relationship, distribution, metadata, and combination thereof the concrete mathematical structure generally represents a unique measure of the one or more operation with respect to the one or more metric and its corresponding communitywide care's performance measure.
In an embodiment, for a communitywide care and its supporting system, one or more performance measure may be identified and evaluated for a component comprising at least one of: a part of the communitywide care, a part of the supporting system, the communitywide care, the supporting system, and combination thereof. One or more metric may formulate the one or more performance measure.

- d. combination thereof.

In an embodiment, one or more administrator may configure one or more system for a communitywide care to monitor one or more severity of one or more community in order to enhance the welfare of the one or more community and its elements, wherein the one or more system is aware of the one or more community and related one or more domain, and wherein the system is driven by one or more AI. As an aspect of the monitoring, the one or more system may observe the one or more domain in real-time, collect information from one or more sources, generate intelligence that is value-adding and actionable, execute one or more action according to the one or more administrator's specification (e.g., of the one or more severity and its degree, generally based on the one or more administrator's expectation), and deliver an alert (e.g., to induce one or more action) to recipients comprising at least one of: the one or more administrator, user, system, and combination thereof. The one or more administrator may specify one or more alarm (e.g., of type comprising high-severity, patient noncompliance, and combination thereof) as one or more part of the configuration, wherein the monitoring one or more system may generate one or more intelligence comprising at least one of prediction, forecast, recommendation, action, algorithm, shortcut (e.g., a rule of thumb), notification (e.g., to the administrator), system (e.g., a first intelligent system, a second intelligent sub-system, etc.), and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, the system's performance measure comprising at least one of effectiveness, efficacy, viability (e.g., a measure of a basis comprising at least one of economic, social, jurisdictional, scientific, business, environmental, and combination thereof), efficiency, accuracy in general, and combination thereof may be derived from one or more metric (e.g. confusion matrix, truth table, Bayesian networks, etc.) by comparing one or more intelligence generated by the system with the one or more administrator's expectation of the one or more intelligence. For a sample observation of the one or more domain by the system (e.g., an observation sampled by methods—which may be predetermined—comprising at least one of: by devices, at certain time intervals, with normalization, after preprocessing, and combination thereof), the one or more intelligence generated by the system is denoted as a prediction, and the corresponding one or more administrator's expectation of the one or more intelligence is denoted as a truth-value corresponding to the prediction. In an embodiment, as convention, predictions may be partitioned into distinct classes, with every prediction class corresponding to a class of truth-value.
In an embodiment, observing one or more event monitored by a first system (for communitywide care) results in N observations with N predictions and N corresponding truth-values. In this embodiment, for clarity, and not by way of limitation, one observation is processed by the first system to generate one prediction, wherein, the prediction is compared (e.g., algebraically, cognitively, statistically, etc.) with one truth-value corresponding to the observation. The first system generates a F×F sized square first confusion matrix where F is the number of distinct (generally disjoint, for example, as predetermined by one or more administrator) prediction classes. An entry in the matrix at row i and column j is denoted by n_ij, where 1≤i≤F and 1≤j≤F. An entry n_ijrepresents the number of sample observations with a truth-value of class i that is predicted by the first system to be of class j. The number of correct predictions of the class i is given by the entry (n_ij:j=i). The counts of correctly predicted observations for the F classes exist in the main diagonal (e.g., n_ij:j=i) entries of the first confusion matrix. An accuracy (AC) of the first system's N predictions (from the N observations) may be given by
$AC = \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{F} {(n_{ij})}_{j = i}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{F} \sum_{j = 1}^{F} n_{ij}}$
The accuracy of the first system is a type of performance indicator typically derived from a metric of a performance measure for the first system. The non-diagonal members of the first confusion matrix (n_ij: j≠i) may provide insights on biases, need for normalization of the first confusion matrix, and one or more part of the first system that may need further fine tuning. In an embodiment, a normalized second confusion matrix of a fine tuned second system may generate insightful feedback on one or more aspect (comprising at least one of design, learning, communication, feedback, and combination thereof) of the second system. The first confusion matrix and the second confusion matrix—due to their information richness—may contain information needed by heterogeneous administrators of the systems (the first system and the second system), wherein the administrators may be of type comprising at least one of professionals, community leaders, resource managers, quants (e.g., the ones fine tuning AI and cognitive intelligence generation, and generating analytical insights), systems architects, infrastructure engineers, researchers, systems, and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, for observations of an event by a system (for communitywide care), predictions comprise at least one of data set, matrix, probabilities (e.g., probability distributions), time series, and combination thereof, such that the format and presentation of the predictions match the format and presentation of their corresponding truth-values. The corresponding truth-values may be analytically compared (e.g., algebraically, cognitively, statistically, etc.) with the predictions to assess their validity. A confusion matrix for the observations for the event is derived using the results of the corresponding analytical comparisons (e.g., algebraic, cognitive, statistical, etc.). The confusion matrix is, in general, a type of metric that is formulated from a performance measure of the system in monitoring the event.
In an embodiment, a confusion matrix for a complex system (for communitywide care) may be a multidimensional matrix, wherein the dimensionality of the multidimensional matrix is a reflection of characteristics comprising at least one of: complexity of the system, possible existence of hidden variables (e.g., confounders, confounding variables, etc.), one or more need for increased granularity (e.g., higher resolution) of observation, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the information and intelligence in a confusion matrix may be represented by one or more mathematical model of type comprising at least one of: graphical (comprising at least one of Markov networks, Markov chains, Bayesian networks, and combination thereof), probabilistic inference, time series, neural network, singular value decomposition, complex analysis (using, for example, complex analytic functions, complex numbers to represent phase shifts, etc.), and combination thereof. In an embodiment, a complex system in general (for communitywide care) may be analyzed with one or more technique comprising at least one of: matrix manipulation, matrix singular value decomposition, visual representation (e.g., for cognitive and perceptive observation and knowledge generation), intelligence extraction (using, for example, neural networks and other AI techniques), graph and network optimization, probabilistic inference, complex analysis (using, for example, complex analytic functions, complex numbers to represent phase shifts, etc.), and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, observing one or more event monitored by a first system (for communitywide care) results in N observations with N×T predictions and N×T corresponding truth-values. In this embodiment, for clarity, and not by way of limitation, one observation is processed by the first system to generate one prediction set of T predictions. For a first observation at time θ, the first system generates a first prediction set of size T: predictions for T−1 time instances in the future (for example, {θ+1 hour, θ+24 hours, θ+12 days, θ+30 days, θ+six months}) along with one prediction for time θ. A first prediction (for a first time-instance) from the first prediction set is compared with one truth-value corresponding to the first observation (and the first time-instance). The first prediction set is compared (e.g., algebraically, cognitively, statistically, etc.) with a first truth set of size T: truth-values for T−1 time instances in the future (for example, {θ+1 hour, θ+24 hours, θ+12 days, θ+30 days, θ+six months}) along with one truth-value for time θ. The first system generates a F×F×T sized first confusion matrix where F is the number of distinct (generally disjoint, for example, as predetermined by one or more administrator) prediction classes, wherein for a first time instance t (from one of the T−1 time instances in the future and one time instance for time θ) a F×F sized first square matrix represents the part of the confusion matrix for the first time instance (t).
In an embodiment, the first system monitoring the first observation at time θ generates the F×F sized first square matrix for the first time instance t, wherein a first accuracy AC_trepresents an accuracy derived from the first square matrix. An entry in the confusion matrix at row i, column j, and time instance k is denoted by n_ijk, where 1≤i≤F, 1≤j≤F and 1≤k≤T. An entry n_ijkrepresents the number of sample observations with a truth-value of class i that is predicted by the first system to be of class j for time instance k. For the first time instance t, the number of correct predictions of the class i is given by the entry (n_ijk:j=i, k=t). The counts of correct predictions for the first time instance t for the F classes exist in the main diagonal (e.g., n_ijk:j=i, k=t) entries of the first square matrix. The first accuracy (AC_t) of the first system's N predictions (from the N observations) for the first time instance t is given by
${AC}_{t} = \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{F} {(n_{ijk})}_{j = i, k = t}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{F} \sum_{j = 1}^{F} {(n_{ijk})}_{k = t}}$
The non-diagonal members for the first time instance k=t of the first square matrix (n_ijk: j≠i, k=t) may provide insights on one or more need comprising at least one of: accounting for biases, normalization (e.g., of the first square matrix and the first confusion matrix), tuning of one or more part of the first system, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the first system's, the first observation's, and the first confusion matrix's analyses comprising at least one of: normalization, fine tuning in general, and combination thereof may generate insightful feedback on one or more aspect (comprising at least one of design, learning, communication, feedback, and combination thereof) of the first system. The analyses may contain information needed by heterogeneous administrators of the systems, wherein the administrators may be of type comprising at least one of professionals, community leaders, resource managers, quants (e.g., the ones fine tuning AI and cognitive intelligence generation and generating analytical insights), systems architects, infrastructure engineers, researchers, systems, and combination thereof. The first accuracy of the first system is a type of performance indicator typically derived from a metric of a performance measure for the first system.
In an embodiment, a community may be described by one or more characteristic of a basis comprising at least one of: geographical; jurisdictional; social; based on one or more shared characteristic comprising at least one of belief, principle, convention, physical property, and combination thereof; regional; and combination thereof. Two or more communities may share one or more of their characteristic type.
In an embodiment, a communitywide care comprises at least one of: domain monitoring (comprising at least one of collection, aggregation, analysis, transformation, delivery, presentation, persistence, and combination thereof of data); information exchange (comprising at least one of retrieval, processing, delivery, communication in general, and combination thereof); intelligence generation (for purpose comprising at least one of predicting, prioritizing, coordinating, assessing risk and opportunity, choosing, decision making in general, and combination thereof); advancing knowledge and skill in general; execution in general (e.g., execution of decisions); and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, for a community, a communitywide care may be related to a service of type comprising health, welfare, emergency response, finance, employment, transportation, entertainment, logistics, retail, governance, education, communication, information dissemination in general, and combination thereof. As a part of the service, a system (for communitywide care) observing a domain may process events in real-time and generate information of type comprising at least one of: analytics, intelligence (e.g., from cognitive intelligence and from AI in general), notification, metadata, extract and synopsis, narrative (e.g., in a predetermined format for the benefit of an end user), and combination thereof. The performance (comprising at least one of effectiveness, efficacy, and combination thereof) and viability (a measure of a basis comprising at least one of economic, social, jurisdictional, scientific, business, environmental, and combination thereof) of the service, the system, the communitywide care in general, the community, one or more end user response, and combination thereof, among others, may be evaluated by computing one or more metric (of a basis comprising, for example, confusion matrix, truth table, Bayesian network, etc.), wherein the computed one or more metric may be referred to as one or more performance indicator. Insights and feedback due to the one or more metric are used to tune the service, the system, the communitywide care, the community, the one or more end user response, and combination thereof. The term “tune” refers to performance improvement in general within constraints of parameters comprising at least one of: resource, knowledge, information, processing time, cultural norms, jurisdiction, sentiment, and combination thereof.
In relation to a communitywide care of a community, for a system monitoring a domain, real-time monitoring differs from and offers benefits over on-demand monitoring. As used herein, real-time processing (e.g., observing, monitoring, etc.) of an event in progress, on one hand, may indicate an inconsequentially small time-lag between a snapshot of the event and processing of the snapshot (e.g., observing the snapshot), while on the other hand, the processing (e.g., observing) may be continuous over the entire duration of the event.
In an embodiment for a system (for communitywide care) monitoring an event, in relation to the system's one or more aspect (comprising at least one of design, development, implementation, operationalization, performance verification and tuning, testing, training, and combination thereof), real-time observations of the event are characterized by:

- a. One or more small first time-lag between consecutive pairs of snapshots of the event (e.g., to maximize resolution of the observations);
- b. One or more small second time-lag between a snapshot of the event and processing of the snapshot by the system;
- c. The first time-lag and the second time-lag being on the same order of magnitude; and
- d. Continuity of the real-time observations being maintained over the entire duration of the event;
  wherein a snapshot may represent an observation and its aspect comprising at least one of: data-point, data-point harvesting, and combination thereof. In general, the term “data-point” refers to a set of relevant facts (e.g., vitals for COVID-19 patients) along with concurrently collected date-and-timestamp from observing an event (e.g., COVID-19 progression) in a domain.

In an embodiment, for a first system monitoring a first event in a first domain, a first process is episodic and on-demand in nature, wherein one or more episode of the first process is generally initiated by an actor comprising at least one of administrator, user, system, and combination thereof. The monitoring by the first system may be valid over time intervals of the one or more episode, wherein the time intervals represent one or more fraction of the first event's duration, and the one or more on-demand first process is generally regarded as time dependent. In an embodiment, for a second system monitoring the first event in real-time, one or more second process of the second system is continuous over the duration of the first event, wherein the one or more second process is generally regarded as time independent.
In an embodiment, traditionally, engineers—generally during design of an on-demand monitoring system—may accept a tradeoff between data resolution and sampling continuity. By design, on-demand monitoring, to allow for human consumption of data, makes a compromise comprising at least one of: loss of sampling continuity, loss of resolution, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, for a communitywide care for prevention and mitigation of the COVID-19 disease, 12 days are regarded as the progression duration of the disease. For a first operation of real-time monitoring, a first real-time observation (e.g., with biosensors) of symptoms for a patient involves taking observations every second for the 12-day duration. The first real-time observation and the first operation are independent of time of day during the 12-day duration, and the first operation and the first real-time observation are generally regarded as time independent. In an embodiment, for a second operation of on-demand monitoring, a ten-minute episodic second observation of sensors once on each of the 12 days, whether at home, online, or in a clinical setting, is not real-time. The second operation and the second observation are not real-time. During the second operation, a second presentation of COVID-19 symptoms associated with high-severity—if it occurs between two consecutive ten-minute second observations—would go unobserved by the second operation; thus, the second presentation may go unnoticed by the patient, doctors, and other caregivers. In an embodiment, for a third operation of on-demand monitoring, sporadic five-minute third observations are carried out throughout the day during the 12 days, whether at home, online, or in a clinical setting. During the third operation, a third presentation of COVID-19 symptoms associated with high-severity between two consecutive instances of the third observations would go unobserved by the third operation, wherein the third presentation may go unnoticed by the patient, doctors, and other caregivers. The third observations and the third operation are not real-time. In an embodiment, a healthcare provider comprising at least one of nurse, health technician, health researcher, and combination thereof may represent a doctor; one or more doctor may also oversee a system of communitywide care as an administrator.
In an embodiment, a communitywide care for prevention and mitigation of the COVID-19 disease is designed for real-time monitoring, wherein the disease progression is estimated to take 12 days to complete. The communitywide care is designed to take one observation (e.g., data-point) of the patient symptoms (e.g., with biosensors) per second. A first operation of the communitywide care (e.g., monitoring of a first COVID-19 patient) may deviate from the design guidelines of the communitywide care and introduce a defect comprising at least one of: patient noncompliance (e.g., patient knowingly removing a sensor, unknowingly removing a sensor, etc.), downtime, connectivity and resource (comprising at least one of power, network, broadband, compute, and combination thereof) interruption, equipment malfunction, and combination thereof. A second operation of the communitywide care may suffer from challenges and may otherwise introduce defects, comprising at least one of implementation and execution errors (e.g., of administrators), shortcomings of human communication and compliance (related to, for example, training and instructions), introduction of human biases, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the defects (from the first operation and the second operation) may be overcome by compensating actions of actors comprising at least one of: the administrators, experts, awareness machines and AI (e.g., by training and online learning), systems, and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, for one or more communitywide care supported by one or more system, one or more awareness of the system (e.g., an AI based system) is characterized by nuances of a basis comprising at least one of: diversity of information, diversity of source of information, redundancy of information, redundancy of source of information, frequency of information, recurrence (or lack thereof) of information, diversity of intelligence, redundancy of intelligence, shades of intelligence (e.g., potentially contradictory knowledge, maintaining and improving both sides—optionality in general—of a decision, working within a gray area of knowledge, etc.), and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the nuances represent higher-order knowledge (e.g., knowledge of knowledge, metadata in general, knowledge as a tool to generate new knowledge, learning to learn, etc.) as an aspect of the one or more awareness. In an embodiment, one or more cognitive intelligence of the system comprises at least one of: intelligence, awareness (e.g., of one or more domain, self-awareness, awareness of purpose in general, etc.), autonomy (e.g., setting, planning, and attaining goals), adaptability in general, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, cognitive intelligence may be in general characterized by awareness with a basis comprising at least one of: intelligence and its awareness, autonomy and its awareness, adaptability and its awareness, domain awareness, multi-domain awareness, global awareness, awareness and its awareness, and combination thereof.

FIG. 1 illustrates on-demand remote monitoring of patient 101 at his home in bed 102 with laptop 103 (as an audio-video equipped portable device) by doctor 105 at an office (with desk 107 and chair 108) using tablet 106 (as an audio-video equipped mobile device). At a mutually coordinated time, patient 101 and doctor 105 initiate communication 104 (as audio-video communication). Communication 104 may be subject to one or more restriction (comprising at least one of: cognitive limitations, communication limitations, scalability limitations, lack of proactive involvement, and combination thereof) of patient 101 and doctor 105. The scalability limitations may relate to a shortcoming comprising at least one of: a first inability of a first doctor to simultaneously on-demand monitor more than a handful of remote patients, a second inability of a second doctor to effectively on-demand monitor more than one patient at a time, a third inability of more than a handful of third doctors to concurrently communicate with an on-demand monitored patient, and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, COVID-19 is a fast progressing disease fraught with uncertainties, wherein sudden onset of life-threatening conditions in previously symptom-free patients is reported. Monitoring of the disease may benefit from emulating data collection frequencies and continuity used in an ER (emergency room) environment and from collecting and processing readings for the disease in real-time (e.g., continuously for almost every second over the duration of disease progression). In an embodiment, an instance of real-time data collection and processing for COVID-19 may involve recording each relevant vital on the order of a second for about two weeks or until the infection is cleared.
In an embodiment, a COVID-19 patient is monitored in real-time remotely (e.g., at the patient's home) by a system (for communitywide care) for an onset of high-severity. The system is aware of one or more domain related to the patient, doctors, paramedics, hospitals, and related community in general, and a data-point is harvested about every second wherein the data-point represents a snapshot of the patient's condition that may allow the patient's doctor to arrive at a diagnosis with reasonable confidence. Upon onset of a first high-severity, the patient's doctor, hospitals, paramedics, and other relevant administrators of the system are notified. The doctor reviews intelligence and metadata associated with the first high-severity, and the paramedics, in coordination with the doctor, transport the patient to a hospital. Benefits of the system may comprise at least one of: the patient beginning treatment for the high-severity within the shortest possible time; avoidance of spread of the disease that might have been caused by the patient visits to the doctor's office, waiting in the hospital waiting room, and related transportation; optimal usage of hospital resources and CCIS; increased community moral due to availability of remote communitywide monitoring (as part of one or more communitywide care) for COVID-19 low-severity in homes and availability of traditional support structures (e.g., the patient's family); reduced exposure of high-risk patients (e.g., patients with preexisting COVID-19 morbidity markers) to COVID-19; and combination thereof. The monitoring of the more than a handful of remote patients is referred to by the term “communitywide monitoring”.
FIG. 2 illustrates system 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 2 illustrates a first communitywide care for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community wherein more than a handful of patients (though, for clarity, three are shown)—patients 201 at their homes in their beds 202—are monitored by doctor 205 at an office (with tablet 206, desk 207, and chair 208). Key 214 indicates descriptions of vitals—blood oxygen saturation level in percentage, body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, heart rate in beats per minute, and breathing rate in breaths per minute—that, along with timestamp, comprise a data-point. Each of the patients 201 is monitored in real-time with a vitals observation device on his left arm. In real-time, a data-point (represented by data-points 203) is generated by the vitals observation device and sent to system 212 through communication 204 for further processing comprising at least one of: real-time analytics, intelligence generation, learning, identification of high-severity, notification to administrator, narrating and formatting (e.g., to benefit end users, devices, and systems), and combination thereof. Doctor 205, as an administrator, configures system 212 with a customization comprising at least one of: conditions and rules for high-severity, criteria for system performance and validation (e.g. a confusion matrix), process automation, and combination thereof, wherein doctor 205 may not need to interact with each individual patient in the group of patients 201. For the first communitywide care, by design: when a patient (from patients 201) exhibits onset of high-severity, system 212—in real-time—receives corresponding data-points through communication 204, identifies the high-severity and its onset, generates a first notification (of a basis, for example, comprising at least one of intelligence, metadata, narrative, and combination thereof) intended for doctor 205, delivers the first notification to doctor 205, and executes one or more automation configured by doctor 205. Upon delivery of the first notification to doctor 205, system 212 waits for input from doctor 205, while concurrently executing one or more automation configured in the system. FIG. 2 further illustrates an onset of high-severity 213 due to low blood oxygen saturation level and high breathing rate for a first patient from the group of patients 201. The first patient is not aware of high-severity 213 and the onset of high-severity 213. System 212—in real-time—receives one or more data-point corresponding to high-severity 213, identifies and gains awareness of the first patient and high-severity 213, generates and delivers notification 209 for doctor 205 though communication 210, and awaits response and further instructions from doctor 205. Doctor 205 acknowledges notification 209 and requests metadata of high-severity 213 by using dedicated communication 210 with system 212. Thereafter, system 212 responds to doctor 205 with requested information about the first patient and high-severity 213: system 212 initiates dedicated communication 211 to the first patient, his devices, and his home (e.g., telephone call, notifying the first patient's caregiver at home, etc.) to generate the requested information and deliver it to doctor 205. Thereafter, doctor 205 verifies and confirms high-severity 213, and notifies system 212 through communication 210 that the first patient should be admitted to a hospital for ER care. System 212 gains awareness needed for admitting the first patient to the hospital and notifies the hospital, paramedics (for transportation), and administrators (e.g., ER doctors, city officials, etc.); within minutes of the onset of high-severity 213, the first patient is admitted to the hospital ER.
For the first communitywide care in the target community, system 212 and doctor 205 may use communication 210 and 211 for one or more purpose comprising at least one of: collecting data-points from the first patient, audio-video-text conversation with the first patient or his caregiver, and combination thereof. FIG. 2 further illustrates methods that enable system 212 to gain awareness of high-severity 213, the first communitywide care, and one or more domain related to the first communitywide care in general. System 212 builds a confusion matrix to quantify and evaluate the performance and efficacy of the first communitywide care. Feedback from the confusion matrix allows system 212 to tune its processes, intelligence, communication, and the first communitywide care in general.
In an embodiment, FIG. 2 illustrates, for a first communitywide care for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, advantages of real-time monitoring over episodic on-demand monitoring. Once configured (e.g., with a first configuration) by doctor 205 and first administrators, system 212 is the sole entity responsible for real-time monitoring of patients 201. Unlike for on-demand monitoring, workload and monitoring responsibility of doctor 205 and the first administrators does not increase proportionally with an increase in the number of monitored patients 201. Due to its fine granularity and its large volume, real-time data (through communication 204) in its raw format from patients 201 would inundate doctor 205, the first administrators, and first users in general. To mitigate the inundation, system 212 may autonomously monitor first low-severities of patients 201, requiring a minimal intervention (e.g., interaction with patients 201) from the doctor 205, the first administrators, and the first users; the minimal intervention may comprise at least one of: essentially no interaction (e.g., with patients 201, system 212, etc.), initial patient consultation (e.g., to prescribe remote monitoring) and training, checking up on patients 201 subject to availability of doctor 205, answering patient questions, and combination thereof. Only upon the onset of high-severity 213 for a first patient: system 212 detects high-severity 213 and notifies doctor 205 through communication 210 in a format required by doctor 205; the first administrators and the first users are not notified of the onset (e.g., per the first configuration); system 212 receives from doctor 205 an acknowledgement of receipt of the notification; system 212 waits for further instructions from doctor 205; doctor 205 initiates dedicated communication 211 with the first patient through communication 210; doctor 205 takes over—from system 212—the primary responsibility of care (of type comprising at least one of monitoring, diagnosis, referrals, and combination thereof) for the first patient; and thereafter, system 212 supports doctor 205 in caring for the first patient. Thus, system 212 delivers one or more high-severity notification when needed (e.g., at onset of high-severity 213), only to the intended one or more recipient (e.g., doctor 205), and in the format (e.g., narrative, metadata, intelligence, etc. suitable for doctor 205) needed by the one or more recipient. The format of the one or more high-severity notification for doctor 205 comprises at least one of: metadata of high-severity 213, intelligence related to high-severity 213, COVID-19 comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, COPD or other respiratory disease, underlying vascular disease, etc.) for the first patient, relevant patient history, and combination thereof. As opposed to on-demand care, system 212 facilitates communitywide monitoring and the first communitywide care with benefits comprising at least one of scalability ease, generated cognitive AI, cognitive assistance offered to administrators (e.g., doctor 205) and other users, real-time nature of processing (e.g., in communication, AI generation, etc.), passive nature of monitoring, and combination thereof. The scalability ease—along with the other benefits—imparts to system 212 one or more ability comprising at least one of: a first ability of system 212 to simultaneously and in real-time monitor more than a handful of remote patients; a second ability of system 212 to prioritize and engage one or more second doctor if one or more second high-severity of one or more second patient presents itself at about the same time as high-severity 213 (while the first patient is monitored by doctor 205); a third ability of more than a handful of third doctors to concurrently communicate with system 212 to monitor at least one of the first patient, the one or more second patient, and combination thereof; a fourth ability to carry out communitywide monitoring and the health-related first communitywide care for COVID-19; a fifth ability of system 212 to communicate, share, and coordinate with one or more fifth system to enhance and improve one or more fifth communitywide care along with the first communitywide care orchestrated by system 212; and combination thereof. In an embodiment, the fifth ability of system 212 enables it to facilitate one or more multifaceted communitywide care, wherein besides the first communitywide care—healthcare for COVID-19—system 212 orchestrates and provisions one or more second communitywide care for a purpose comprising at least one of: managing or treating chronic diseases, providing or enhancing elderly and disabled care, community (e.g., city) planning, economic and business impact, education and social services impact, regulatory and jurisdictional impact, impact on governance in general, and combination thereof.
In FIG. 2, for a first communitywide care for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, observation of vitals is a part of a data-point, which is described by Key 214; Key 214 includes blood oxygen saturation level in percentage, body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, heart rate in beats per minute, and breathing rate in breaths per minute. In general, vitals significant for COVID-19 high-severity may be:

- a. Blood oxygen saturation level (SpO₂measured in percentage): This measures the percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood. Normal range is 95 to 100. A reading below 92 may contribute to high-severity.
- b. Body temperature (fever measured in degrees Fahrenheit): Fever generally is a sign of infection. As of May 2020, a correlation between fever and COVID-19 high-severity is uncertain and under investigation. As knowledge of the correlation evolves, it may be configured into system 212 and validated using performance measures and their metrics comprising at least one of: confusion matrix formulated with feedback from one or more doctor, learning of AI in system 212, and combination thereof.
- c. Heart rate in beats per minute: A heart rate above 100 beats per minute may generally be a sign of worsening COVID-19 severity.
- d. Breathing rate measured in breaths per minute: Heightened breathing (e.g., breathing rate over 20) may indicate high-severity associated with COVID-19. An increase in breathing rate over a short period of time, which is associated with shortness of breath, is a prominent indicator of high-severity. A patient history of chronic respiratory diseases heightens COVID-19 severity, while above average cardiovascular fitness lessens it.

In FIG. 2, for the first communitywide care for mitigating COVID-19 in the target community, doctor 205 configures (as a precursor to system 212 generating one or more intelligence) COVID-19 severity degrees:

- a. Low-severity: Doctor 205 selects a pool of patients—patients 201—from COVID-19 infected individuals in the target community for home-based communitywide monitoring based on their symptoms (e.g., fever, fatigue, myalgia, cough, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea). Doctor 205 also includes in the pool high-risk (due to mortality markers comprising at least one of high blood pressure, diabetes, blood coagulation abnormalities, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and combination thereof) patients who show no signs of, but are suspected of having, COVID-19 infection.
- b. High-severity: Doctor 205 configures in system 212 high-severity symptoms comprising SpO₂<92%, breathing rate greater than 25 breaths per minute, and heart rate over 100 beats per minute, wherein the symptoms are adjusted according to patients' health histories and comorbidities. Doctor 205 excludes body temperature from high-severity symptoms. Doctor 205 includes, if available, D-dimer values from a patient's blood test wherein a three-fold increase in D-dimer values may contribute to high-severity. The D-dimer values are both passively accepted and proactively accessed by system 212 from blood test laboratories.

In FIG. 2, in relation to the first communitywide care for mitigating COVID-19 in the target community, for a second patient from patients 201, the AI of system 212 reconciles first observations of SpO₂<92% with second observations of other vital types (e.g., breathing rate and heart rate) along with health histories of patients 201 to determine severity degree for the first observations, the second observations, and the reconciliation. System 212 determines a sixth high-severity and gains one or more awareness of the related parts of the observations (the first observations and the second observations), the reconciliation, the second patient, the health history of the second patient, and one or more responsible doctor. Thereafter, system 212 sends one or more notification of the sixth high-severity to the one or more responsible doctor, who subsequently requests additional information about the sixth high-severity. Thereafter, the AI of system 212, based on the one or more awareness, generates information comprising at least one of intelligence, metadata, narrative, and combination thereof related to the sixth high-severity and delivers it to the one or more responsible doctor in response to the request for additional information.
In an embodiment, two or more systems communicate, share, coordinate, synergize in general, and orchestrate two or more communitywide cares provisioned generally by the two or more systems, wherein the functionality, effectiveness, viability, and efficacy of the two or more communitywide cares may improve. A third communitywide care may originate from the two or more communitywide cares, wherein the third communitywide care may improve (over the two or more communitywide cares) in general due to the two or more systems' aspect comprising at least one of communication, sharing, coordination, orchestration, synergy in general, and combination thereof; the third communitywide care is generally referred to by the term “multifaceted communitywide care”.
In an embodiment, for a community, a first system for a first communitywide care for healthcare, a second system for a second communitywide care related to transportation (e.g., public and private transportation), and a third system for a third communitywide care related to planning (e.g., business, school, and public service closures) perform their respective communitywide monitoring, carry out real-time processing, and provision services in isolation from one another. A first interface facilitates among the three systems (the first system, the second system and the third system): communication, sharing, coordination, and orchestration. Upon activation of the first interface, the respective communitywide cares of the three systems may provide additional functionality, optimize performance, and increase efficacy for one or more of the three systems. As an example, the first system related to healthcare may benefit from information (e.g., notifications, metadata, intelligence, and narrative in general) related to transportation and planning (e.g., to estimate transportation time for a critical patient from a home or a business to a hospital); the second system related to transportation may benefit from information related to healthcare and planning (e.g., to estimate—as an infectious disease spreads in the community—passenger load factors for public transportation); and the third system related to planning may benefit from information related to healthcare and transportation (e.g., for planning and execution—as an infectious disease spreads in the community—related to closures, social distancing, and quarantine facilities). Upon the activation of the first interface, one or more of the three systems may provision new or added functionality, improve effectiveness, expand viability (e.g., a measure of a basis comprising at least one of economic, social, jurisdictional, scientific, business, environmental, and combination thereof), and increase efficacy for the benefit of the community, wherein the respective communitywide cares for the one or more three systems may upgrade to their respective multifaceted communitywide cares.
FIG. 3 illustrates system 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. In FIG. 3, system 301 supports a first communitywide care related to healthcare—for containment and mitigation of COVID-19 spread by remotely monitoring (e.g., monitoring patients at home) first patients with low-severity in one or more first community. System 301 has a first ability to make real-time (through communication 315) observations 302 from the first patients' device 304 (mobile or otherwise), video 305, audio 306, and vitals 307 (readings comprising at least one of: blood oxygen saturation level in percentage, body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, heart rate in beats per minute, breathing rate in breaths per minute, and combination thereof) to detect onset of a second high-severity for a second patient (who is an individual member from the group of the first patients being monitored) and notify (through communication 316) doctors 313—and, if necessary, provide additional information (comprising at least one of metadata, intelligence, narrative in general, and combination thereof) to doctors 313 (through communications 316 and 317). In isolation, system 301 is limited to the first ability. System 301 may further interface (to facilitate a capability comprising at least one of communication, sharing, coordination, orchestration, and combination thereof) with: system 308, which supports a second communitywide care related to transportation (e.g., public and private transportation) and paramedics 312; system 309, which supports a third communitywide care related to commerce and economy (e.g., economics, employment, etc.) overseen by executives 314; and system 310, which supports a fourth communitywide care related to community (e.g., city) planning and services managed by community planners 311. The interfacing enhances the first ability of system 301 and transforms it into a multifaceted second ability. System 301 interacts with systems 308 and 310 (through related real-time communications 318 and episodic communications 319) to gain and incorporate intelligence related to system 308 (transportation), paramedics 312, system 310 (community planning and services), and community planners 311 to identify a second hospital as an optimal choice for the second patient and to minimize the transportation time of the second patient to the second hospital. System 301 (through communication 316) recommends that doctors 313 contain the second high-severity by transporting the second patient to an ER of the second hospital. Doctors 313 evaluate the recommendation and the associated metadata (e.g. the reasoning behind the recommendation) and accept the recommendation. The system 301 notifies paramedics 312, who transport the second patient to the second hospital.
In FIG. 3, various administrators (303)-313, 312, 314, and 311—supervise the various systems-301, 308, 309, and 310, respectively. In an embodiment, an AI system (e.g., an autonomous AI entity, an aware system, a system with global awareness, etc.) may—as an administrator—oversee one or more first system related to one or more communitywide care. In an embodiment, an AI system may collaborate with administrators 303 to supervise the various systems (301, 308, 309, and 310), wherein the collaboration comprises at least one of sharing, substitution, coordination, acting as autopilot, acting as standby, synergizing in general, and combination thereof.
In FIG. 3, communications (315, 316, 317, 318, and 319; and in FIGS. 2: 204, 210, and 211) may be of type comprising at least one of: system-to-system, system-to-user-device (e.g., in FIG. 2, system 212 communicates with tablet 206 of doctor 205 and sensors associated with data-point 203; and in FIG. 3, system 301 communicates with devices for observations 302: 304, a patient's mobile device; 305, a patient's video camera; 306, a patient's microphone; and 307, a patient's biosensor for observing the patient's vitals), system-to-user-interface (e.g., voice input, keyboard input, biometric input, etc.), and combination thereof. The communications may facilitate one or more information exchange over one or more infrastructure comprising at least one of: networks (of type comprising at least one of local area, wide area, wireless, and combination thereof), the cloud (e.g., network cloud), airwaves (comprising at least one of: Bluetooth, ultra-wideband, spectra in general, and combination thereof), Internet, and combination thereof.
In FIG. 3, system 301 supports the first communitywide care related to healthcare and is administered by doctors 313; system 308 supports the second communitywide care related to transportation and is administered by first responders—shown as paramedics 312; system 309 supports the third communitywide care related to commerce and economy and is administered by executives 314; and system 310 supports the fourth communitywide care related to community planning and services and is administered by community planners 311. The four systems that support the four communitywide cares interface through real-time communication 318 and episodic communication 319. The interfaces transform the four communitywide cares into their respective multifaceted communitywide cares. As a first example, a multifaceted fifth communitywide care improves utilization planning (by interacting with system 301 and system 308 as it relates to first-responder transportation) to improve estimations of current and future hospitalizations related to COVID-19 high-severity; the multifaceted fifth communitywide care also monitors supply chain related to PPE (personal protective equipment) by interacting with system 309. As a second example, a multifaceted sixth communitywide care (e.g., due to interaction of system 309 with system 301, system 308, and system 310) that monitors and predicts commerce and economic activity benefits from information on real-time COVID-19 statistics (e.g., low-severity, high-severity, and asymptomatic population) and herd immunity status of the one or more first community in assessing COVID-19 impact.
In an embodiment, one or more administrator of a system for a communitywide care may use one or more performance measure for purposes comprising at least one of: improving performance; facilitating decision making; evaluating one or more of effectiveness, efficiency, viability, and efficacy of the system and the communitywide care; and combination thereof. The one or more administrator may utilize one or more metric to formulate the one or more performance measure. The one or more metric may be constructed using techniques comprising at least one of: quantifying, giving structure (e.g., generating matrices, networks, complex organizations, etc.), generating classes (e.g., bins), analyzing in general (e.g., statistical testing, clustering, etc.), constructing by convention (differentiating, for example, between urban and rural, literate and illiterate, GAAP and non-GAAP for reporting, etc.), and combination thereof. The one or more administrator may gain, with respect to the one or more performance measure, abilities comprising at least one of: comparing systems in general (between, for example, two systems, two operations of a system, two runs of system, two configurations of a system, etc.), keeping records (related to, for example, the operation and use of the communitywide care), grading (e.g., ranking) a plurality of systems (with respect to, for example, fitness for service, profitability, environmental friendliness, efficacy, efficiency, etc.), optimally designing a system (using, for example, controlled testing, simulation, analytics of historic performance measures, etc.), generating higher-order knowledge of a system (e.g., metadata, simplification etc.), generating AI to administer one or more part of the system, and combination thereof.
In FIG. 2, in an embodiment for a first communitywide care supported by system 212 for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, one or more non-functional performance measure is formulated and evaluated using one or more metric (e.g., using a confusion matrix) for one or more component (e.g., device, software module, firmware, etc.) of system 212 to determine one or more optimal usage of resources comprising at least one of bandwidth, processing unit (e.g., CPU, GPU, etc.), computability, and combination thereof. In an embodiment, one or more non-functional performance measure for the first communitywide care supported by system 212 is formulated, evaluated, and improved upon (e.g., using one or more metric) to ensure a minimum level of non-functional performance of system 212 (e.g., to meet SLA—system level agreements; maintain validity of system 212; uphold one or more purpose of system 212; etc.) and for continued non-functional performance tuning of system 212 (e.g., to conserve resources, to increase overall life of system 212 and its components, to increase duration between scheduled downtime, to minimize number of unscheduled downtimes, to maintain and enhance disaster-recovery capability, to enhance user accessibility and improve user productivity, etc.); wherein, the system's (212) non-functional performance parameters comprise at least one of: response time (of type, for example, end-to-end, round trip, multiple copy generation—to ensure redundancy and to guarantee disaster-recovery capability—etc.), delivery time (e.g., notification delivery time, voice delivery time, time to receipt of one or more opened notification, etc.), size and pace of content delivery (e.g., to meet a user's expertise and level of training, etc.), and combination thereof.
In FIG. 2, in an embodiment for a first communitywide care supported by system 212 for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, one or more FPM (functional performance measure)—related to a piece of information comprising at least one of AI-generated intelligence, rule, diagnostic, algorithm, logic in general, and combination thereof, wherein the piece of information is formulated, computed, and generally evaluated with one or more metric—of the first communitywide care supported by system 212 is measured by one or more confusion matrix (as a basis for constructing one or more metric of the one or more FPM) and is supervised by doctor 205. A framework for a first FPM is defined by one or more input from one or more first doctor (and from one or more first administrator in general) to formulate a first metric in the form of a first confusion matrix. The first FPM is applied to operation of the first communitywide care (and system 212) for a first duration of time, wherein outcomes (e.g., predictions, results, diagnoses, etc.) are compared with expectations of the one or more first doctor (and the one or more first administrator in general) to compute the first metric of the first FPM (in the form of the first confusion matrix). Similarly, one or more second duration of time is used to compute one or more second metric of the first FPM as formulated by one or more second doctor (and one or more second administrator in general) in the form of one or more second confusion matrix. One or more third doctor (comprising at least one of the one or more first doctor, the one or more second doctor, doctor 205 in general, the one or more first administrator, the one or more second administrator, one or more administrator of system 212 in general, and combination thereof) analyzes (e.g., compares, contrasts, etc.) the computed first metric (in the form of the first confusion matrix) and the computed one or more second metric (in the form of the one or more second confusion matrix) to gain insights on parameters comprising at least one of: the first FPM; the first metric; the one or more second metric; functionality, viability, and efficacy of system 212 (and the first communitywide care) in general; and combination thereof. The insights allow the one or more third doctor to gain capability comprising at least one of: to improve the first FPM, to develop one or more improved second FPM, to formulate one or more improved fourth metric, to propose improvements to system 212, to propose improvements to the first communitywide care, and combination thereof. Applying the one or more improved second FPM to the operation of the first communitywide care (and system 212) for one or more third duration of time results in formulation and computation of one or more third metric of the one or more improved second FPM. Generally, as compared to the first metric and the one or more second metric, the one or more third metric has improved quality (as it relates to the first communitywide care and system 212) comprising at least one of effectiveness, efficiency, viability, efficacy, fitness for service, and combination thereof. Information (e.g., one or more piece of information) derived from the first metric, the one or more second metric, and the one or more third metric contributes to AI learning (along with developing and updating algorithms, rules, logic, user experience, etc.) associated with the first communitywide care (and system 212).
In FIG. 2 in an embodiment, a first performance measure (of type comprising at least one of: non-functional performance measure, FPM, and combination thereof)—formulated by a first metric—related to a first communitywide care supported by system 212 for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, allows doctor 205 to assess a first ability of the first communitywide care (and system 212) as a real-time COVID-19 patient monitoring operation. The first ability enables one or more first doctor to increase patient load by an order of magnitude in rendering remote care to COVID-19 patients. The first ability is quantified by an aspect of the first metric—computed as a performance indicator of the first performance measure—in terms of: number of patients monitored by a doctor in a day. Doctor 205 identifies a first KPI (key performance indicator) for the first communitywide care as the average number of patients (remotely monitored) per doctor per day and sets an initial expectation of 100 (average patients per day per doctor) for the first KPI. The first KPI is derived from the first metric—as defined by doctor 205—to assess (system 212 and) the first communitywide care's viability (related to, for example, at least one of: compatibility with a community—e.g., a locality, a region, etc.; resource availability and utilization; fitness for service—e.g., medical, pandemic containment, etc.; and combination thereof) related to a measure of a basis comprising at least one of: economic, jurisdictional, socioeconomic, scientific, business, environmental, and combination thereof. Doctor 205 incorporates into the first metric two prediction classes—low-severity and high-severity (of COVID-19)—as a formulation of the first performance measure. One or more first operation of system 212 is measured for one or more first duration (e.g., for 12 days) for which the first metric is computed to generate a first performance indicator (e.g., an evaluated confusion matrix). The first performance indicator provides doctor 205 with an insight that one more prediction class related to patient noncompliance is needed to improve one or more viability of the first KPI, the first metric, the first performance measure, the first communitywide care, and system 212. Further, the insight about system 212 comprises: to some extent, system 212 may be fault tolerant; system 212 may provide a confidence level for its predictions; system 212 may be aware of instances when it is unable to predict (e.g., it may provide alerts for situations related to insufficient observations and its inability to predict for the situations); and one or more prediction sensitivity related to patient noncompliance may be configured as one or more parameter (comprising at least one of variable, predictor, intelligence, and combination thereof) into system 212 to obtain granular and actionable information (e.g., performance indicators) related to patient noncompliance. In an embodiment, inclusion (in the first metric) of a third class—patient noncompliance to formulate a second metric to generate a second performance indicator improves the granularity, resolution, and accuracy of the first KPI derived from the second metric (as compared to those derived from the first metric), the first performance measure, the first communitywide care, and system 212.
In FIG. 2, for a first communitywide care supported by system 212 for mitigating COVID-19 in a target community, patients 201 (with low-severity COVID-19) are remotely monitored at their homes. Doctor 205 is concerned about false predictions generated by system 212; doctor 205 hypothesizes that the false predictions are likely due to patient noncompliance. Doctor 205 wants to formulate performance metrics for an FPM of system 212 to gain broad insights and granular reasoning for wrong predictions generated by system 212. For system 212, doctor 205 formulates a confusion matrix (as a metric of the FPM) of three intelligence (related to predictions generated by the AI of system 212) classes: low-severity, high-severity, and patient noncompliance. Low-severity is for low degree of COVID-19 adversity and high-severity is for high degree of COVID-19 adversity. Patient noncompliance represents challenges posed by patients 201 in effective monitoring by system 212 and in attaining optimal efficacy of the first communitywide care. Patients 201, through their actions and inactions, are responsible for the challenges, for example, comprising at least one of: intentional sensor removal (e.g., patients 201 remove sensors associated with data-points 203 or with observations 302 as shown in FIG. 3 for a bathroom break) and unintentional sensor removal (e.g., while sleeping); performing activities (e.g., exercise) which may alter sensor data against the advice of doctor 205; subjecting the sensors to adverse conditions (against the instructions and training provided to patients 201 for use and maintenance of the sensors); and combination thereof.
FIG. 4 illustrates process 400 in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 4 shows confusion matrix 402 used to evaluate the performance of the first communitywide care supported by system 212 (as shown in FIG. 2) for mitigating COVID-19 in the target community by remotely monitoring (e.g., monitoring patients at home) patients 201 with low-severity in the target community. Three classes f₁, f₂, and f₃that identify the columns of matrix 402 (columns 403) represent prediction classes and are denoted by j. Three classes f₁, f₂, and f₃that identify the rows of matrix 402 (rows 404) represent truth-value classes (denoted by i). An entry in the matrix 402 at row i and column j is n_ij, which represents the number of predictions by system 212 (e.g., one prediction per observation in general) with prediction class f₁and truth-value class f₁. The 2-tuple (f₁, f₁) represents a truth-value prediction ordered pair. For example, matrix 402 element n₂₁is the number of first predictions where system 212 predicted f₁and the truth-value (for observations corresponding to the first predictions) was f₂—represented as (f₂, f₁); system 212 misclassified n₂₁predictions (the first predictions) as f₁while the value expected (for observations corresponding to the first predictions) by doctor 205—the truth-value—was f₂. There are n₂₁counts of (f₂, f₁) occurrences. Similarly, system 212 misclassified n₁₃second predictions as f₃while the value expected by doctor 205 was f₁—there are n₁₃counts of (f₁, f₃) occurrences. The main diagonal elements of matrix 402 represent counts of third predictions by system 212 that match with expectations (truth-values); for example, system 212 correctly predicted truth-value f₂for n₂₂observations, and there are n₂₂counts of (f₂, f₂) occurrences.
Further in FIG. 4, the classes (403 and 404) are described by Key 401, wherein f₁corresponds to observations of class low-severity; f₂, high-severity; and f₃, patient noncompliance. In FIG. 2, doctor 205 configures—formulates a first metric of a first FPM of system 212 in the form of a first confusion matrix—matrix 402 in system 212 and remotely and concurrently monitors 50 COVID-19 low-severity home-based patients (patients 201) in real-time. Doctor 205 configures system 212 to generate one prediction per hour (using, for example, an average of predictions over an hour, a prediction based on an average of observations over an hour, and one or more arrangement configured to suit various frequency of observations and various modes of sampling in general) per patient for a 12-day duration (as an average time for COVID-19 progression) corresponding to 14,400 total predictions for the duration. Doctor 205 receives real-time notifications of high-severity onsets, which he diagnoses and examines by initiating communications with system 212 and the related patients. Doctor 205 enters feedback into the system as: (f₂,f₂) for high-severity predictions for true high-severity; (f₁, f₂) for wrong high-severity predictions where low-severity (as truth-values) was expected; and (f₃,f₂) for wrong high-severity predictions where patient noncompliance was detected. Doctor 205, at his convenience (episodically during the 12-day duration and thereafter), reviews f₁(low-severity) class predictions and f₃(patient noncompliance) class predictions generated by system 212 and enters feedback related to (f₁,f₁), (f₂,f₁), (f₃,f₁), (f₁,f₃), (f₂,f₃), and (f₃,f₃), thus completing the first metric (as a performance indicator in the form of a computed instance of the first confusion matrix) for the 12-day period. The first metric is further processed by administrators (doctor 205 and other administrators) of system 212 and the first communitywide care to derive, for the 12-day duration, metrics comprising at least one of: a second metric—total number of true occurrences of low-severity, n₁₁+n₁₂+n₁₃; a third metric—total number of true occurrences of high-severity, n₂₁+n₂₂+n₂₃; a fourth metric—total number of true occurrences of patient noncompliance, n₃₁+n₃₂+n₃₃; a fifth metric—overall prediction accuracy of system 212, (Σ_i=1 ³(n_ij)_j=i)/(Σ_i=1 ³Σ_j=1 ³n_ij); a sixth metric—number of false high-severity alarms n₁₂+n₃₂; and combination thereof. Additional metrics that may be calculated comprise at least one of precision, recall, and F1-score for each class. The different metrics generated by system 212 and the administrators (e.g., doctors, engineers, city planners, executives, paramedics, etc.) to compute and formulate the first FPM of system 212 have purposes comprising at least one of: ROI analysis, cost effectiveness estimation, viability (a measure of a basis comprising at least one of economic, social, jurisdictional, scientific, business, environmental, and combination thereof) analysis, reporting of progress in general, planning, forecasting, margin of safety estimation, efficacy analysis, and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, the administrators investigate (e.g., research, hypothesize, verify, etc.) body temperature's relation (e.g., correlations, covariance, biases in general, effects, rules of thumb, etc.) to low-severity and high-severity COVID-19. The administrators incorporate body temperature as a variable in the AI, rules, and logic in general of system 212. Doctor 205 incorporates an additional new class f₄—fever: body temperature >100° F.—in formulating a seventh metric (for the first FPM) in the form of a truth table. Doctor 205 further incorporates a fifth class f₅—high fever: 104° F.>body temperature>102° F.—in formulating an eighth metric (for the first FPM) in the form of a Bayesian network. The administrators gain one or more insight on relationships among f₄(fever), f₅(high fever), f_i(low-severity), f₂(high-severity), and f₃(patient noncompliance).
In an embodiment, f_i(low-severity), f₂(high-severity), f₄(fever: body temperature>100° F.) and f₅(high fever: 104° F.>body temperature>102° F.) are thresholds as configured by the administrators; on the other hand, f₃(patient noncompliance) is one or more awareness (as an aspect of a threshold) of system 212 that is acquired (by system 212) by AI learning (of type comprising at least one of online learning, offline learning, transfer learning, and combination thereof). The one or more awareness of system 212 may improve with increased field use and diversity of operations of system 212. Thereafter, in an embodiment, the first communitywide care (and its system 212) transforms into a second multifaceted communitywide care by interfacing (e.g., sharing intelligence and awareness) with one or more communitywide care of different types supported by one or more system. Further, as a result of the interfacing, the first communitywide care improves the one or more awareness (f₃, patient noncompliance) to generate one or more improved awareness of a basis comprising at least one of domain awareness, multi-domain awareness, global awareness, and combination thereof.
In an embodiment, the administrators of system 212 (and the associated first communitywide care) and a first entity—comprising at least one of: administrators, experts, awareness machines and AI in general, systems, and combination thereof—investigate and compensate for (e.g., analyze, formulate, and overcome in general) one or more challenges (for example, operational difficulties, hidden variables in models, accidents and their recurrences, etc.) to the first communitywide care and system 212 due to one or more defect of a basis comprising at least one of: patient noncompliance, downtime, connectivity and resource (comprising at least one of power, network, broadband, compute, and combination thereof) interruption, equipment malfunction, and combination thereof.

In an embodiment, a first operation related to a first system may be online in general if the first operation is executed during a field operation (of type, for example, comprising at least one of: full production level, reduced production level, field testing, beta testing, and combination thereof) of the first system; online execution may also be known as hot execution or live execution, among others.
