Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the development of a website / application / method / system for developing a non-profit patient care pathway in existing clinics / physician offices / diagnostic centers / hospitals. It relates to the development of a website / application / method / system for scheduling appointments, real-time tracking of tests and monitoring the entire process of patients from admission to discharge and post-discharge follow-up, and providing non-profit medical and financial assistance to patients in need of medical services. The present invention particularly relates to the development of a website / application / method / system that combines non-profit medical foundation services with clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals. In addition, the present invention also relates to the establishment of a patient zone (for online appointments) and a hospital zone (with local / regional / central monitoring portals) in the network application, and the integration of online functions and telecommunication technology for socioeconomic status assessment, provision of advanced medical consultation options, and provision of life-saving drugs, surgical supplies, ventilators, and medical equipment through direct purchase / rental from manufacturers to reduce medical costs and improve medical quality. The present invention further relates to the establishment of regional monitoring portals (RM portals) for analyzing key patient data from local monitoring portals (LM portals) and prioritizing resource allocation among LM portals, and the establishment of a central monitoring portal in the network application to provide higher levels of medical and financial assistance, cross-border consultations / visits, and other administrative needs. The present invention also relates to a system for transmitting key patient data from LM portals to RM portals via the Internet, with or without the latest software solutions (such as artificial intelligence), to obtain higher levels of medical assessment, recommendations, and assistance. In addition, the present invention also relates to assessing the socioeconomic status of patients through LM portals and arranging low-cost health insurance plans for them, which can shorten or eliminate waiting periods and cover common exclusions (such as congenital diseases). The present invention also relates to assessing the socioeconomic status of patients on-site through LM portals and recommending reduced or waived hospital bills to receiving hospitals, while conducting post-discharge follow-up through the LM portal trust service using telecommunication technology. The present invention also relates to a method of integrating online patient appointments, time-based outpatient / inpatient bill reduction or waiver mechanisms, and phased monitoring systems through the developed website / application to provide a non-profit care pathway within existing diagnostic centers / tertiary hospitals, providing phased, step-by-step, and time-periodic medical and financial assistance to self-pay and insured patients (or other medical insurance plan patients), whether partial or full payment or reimbursement. In addition, the present invention also relates to creating a physician-only zone for risk assessment and responding to requests from the donation portal, while creating a donation portal for donors to make general donations or targeted donations for specific patient needs, and tracking donation funds until they reach the beneficiaries. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are many nonprofit trust clinics and hospitals around the world, which are usually established by donations. However, due to the high cost of technology, manpower and resources required to provide high-quality medical services comparable to university-affiliated hospitals or private high-end hospitals, many nonprofit medical institutions often face limited resources during operation. Once the latest medical technology is introduced, it will be difficult to maintain the low-cost operation of nonprofit hospitals. Currently, many for-profit hospitals have introduced health card systems to provide certain discounts for self-paying or insured patients. However, these hospitals charge fees for healthy people when issuing health cards, the discount rate is usually not high, and there is no option to reduce hospitalization costs.

[0003] Some hospitals have their own official websites or applications for patient appointments and medical record management, but they usually do not provide discounts, free consultations, or online tracking systems for hospitalization processes or fund usage. At the same time, there are many trust or charitable organizations that help pay medical bills. For example, the Tata Foundation provides medical assistance to individuals who are economically disadvantaged and need specific medical treatment. After strict review and socioeconomic assessment, the trust will issue subsidies based on available funds. In addition, there are many third-party fundraising organizations that operate through online platforms to help patients raise medical expenses. These organizations usually have third-party online fundraising activities to ensure the authenticity of patient information and the safe delivery of funds to beneficiaries. However, these independent fundraising networks do not provide guidance on choosing hospitals, nor can they track the patient's medical treatment process in the hospital.

[0004] There are many independent nonprofit trust clinics and hospitals around the world. These institutions usually rely on social donations to operate, but due to the high investment required to establish a multi-specialty hospital, which is much higher than a university-affiliated or tertiary hospital, they are often limited in terms of manpower and technical resources. At the same time, there are many independent nonprofit organizations or trust institutions that have websites or applications for sharing drug or hospitalization costs. However, these are third-party fundraising platforms and do not provide guidance on nonprofit medical services associated with tertiary or quaternary hospitals, nor can they track and monitor patients' medical and financial needs during their hospital stay in real time.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a non-profit medical service model based on a website / application / method / system that can integrate with clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals to provide patients with appointment consultations, continuous check-up tracking, monitoring and assistance throughout the entire hospitalization process (including post-discharge), and to provide medical and financial assistance throughout the patient's entire journey. In addition, there is a need for an assistance model provided by a non-profit medical foundation / trust that can provide comprehensive care to patients within the same clinic, diagnostic center, hospital, or doctor system without compromising medical quality. The system should include online appointment functions, real-time tracking and monitoring of examinations and treatments, support throughout the entire process from consultation appointment, examination, hospitalization, surgery to discharge, and provide medical and financial assistance during this process. Therefore, the inventor's goal is to develop a website / application / method / system for online patient appointments, real-time tracking of examination results, monitoring throughout the entire process from hospitalization to discharge, and providing medical and financial support for self-paying patients, insured patients, or any patient who enjoys partial or full reimbursement of medical plans.

[0006] There are many non-profit trust clinics and hospitals around the world, and these institutions are usually established with donated funds. However, due to the high cost of technology, manpower, and resources required to provide high-quality medical services comparable to university-affiliated hospitals or private high-end hospitals, many non-profit medical institutions are often limited in this regard.

[0007] In many hospitals, there is a health card system for self-paying or insured patients. These health cards usually offer certain discounts, but the hospital charges a fee for the health card to the healthy population, the discount is not high, and there is no option to reduce the hospitalization bill. Some hospitals have their own official website or application for patient appointments and medical record management, but they do not provide discounted or free consultation services, nor do they establish an online / remote technical platform that can integrate with the hospital's internal monitoring system (such as the LM / RM / CM portal system) to achieve real-time management of hospitalization, financial assistance, donation tracking, and online monitoring of patient medical and financial assistance.

[0008] There are currently some trust or charitable organizations that help pay medical bills. For example, the Tata Trust provides medical assistance to poor patients with specific medical needs. After a rigorous review of the data and assessment of the family's socioeconomic status, the trust fund provides assistance based on available funds. However, this type of assistance model does not establish a phased assistance mechanism from outpatient consultation, hospitalization, discharge, to post-discharge follow-up, which is a unique feature of the system proposed by the invention.

[0009] In addition, there are many non-profit trusts or online web platforms that help patients raise medical expenses. For example, the project launched by the crowdfunding platform Milaap.org belongs to the third-party fundraising mode, which is initiated by a third party online, and the organization is responsible for verifying the authenticity of the patient's information and ensuring the safe delivery of funds to the beneficiaries. However, such independent fundraising networks cannot allow patients to choose hospitals, lack tracking mechanisms for the entire patient's medical journey, and have no real-time monitoring and continuous assistance through the LM / RM / CM portal system, as well as transparent tracking of the use of donations.

[0010] Aunt Bertha is a social care network and online database that allows users to search for free or low-cost social and human service resources, including medical care, food assistance, and job training. However, the system does not have a phased monitoring portal, lacks an assisted mode from outpatient consultation, hospitalization, to discharge and post-discharge online follow-up, and cannot track the flow of donations, which is different from the system proposed in this invention.

[0011] The HealthWell Foundation provides financial assistance to help pay for medical expenses, including prescription copayments, health insurance premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, co-payments, children's treatment costs, and travel expenses. The foundation mainly helps individuals whose income is below 400-500% of the federal poverty line. However, the foundation lacks a phased monitoring and assistance mechanism from outpatient consultation, examination, hospitalization to discharge, and has no hospital patient tracking system or real-time monitoring mechanism for the use of donations, which is different from the innovative mode proposed in this invention.

[0012] The mission of the PAN Foundation is to "help patients with life-threatening, chronic, or rare diseases who are underinsured to obtain the necessary drugs and treatments by assisting with out-of-pocket expenses and advocating for improved accessibility and affordability." The foundation provides financial assistance and reimbursement services for patients, but does not have an online patient appointment system, an admission portal, real-time tracking based on the LM / RM / CM portal system, a donation fund tracking mechanism, or a post-discharge follow-up and continuous assistance mechanism, which are unique innovative features of this invention.

[0013] The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) operates a combination of volunteers and staff to provide a variety of basic medical and health services to economically disadvantaged populations. These clinics and pharmacies primarily serve uninsured, underinsured, or lack access to primary, specialty, or prescription medical services. The organization is a community-driven public benefit project that aims to provide basic clinical care and financial assistance for certain illnesses to vulnerable populations. However, NAFC does not have an online patient appointment function connected to clinics, diagnostic centers, or hospitals, nor does it have real-time tracking, donation monitoring, medical and financial assistance mechanisms, and post-discharge online follow-up and continuous support functions through an LM / RM / CM system. These are the innovations and differentiating advantages of the proposed system

[0014] NeedyMeds is a non-profit organization that aims to help people who cannot afford prescription drugs and other medical expenses. However, the organization does not have an online patient appointment function connected to hospitals or clinics, nor does it have a real-time tracking mechanism through a portal system, nor does it have medical and financial assistance, donation tracking, and post-discharge follow-up support functions, which are the innovative features of the proposed invention.

[0015] RxAssist is an online directory of patient assistance programs (PAPs) run by pharmaceutical companies that aims to provide free drugs to economically disadvantaged individuals. However, RxAssist does not have an online patient appointment function, nor does it have real-time tracking, medical and financial assistance, and post-discharge follow-up management in a tertiary hospital system, which is significantly different from the system model of the proposed invention.

[0016] GoFundMe is a crowdfunding platform that can be used to raise funds for medical expenses. It is one of the leading online medical fundraising platforms globally, allowing users to create a free account to initiate a donation campaign for financial assistance. However, the platform only provides fundraising functions without a hospital-based trust service window or real-time tracking system, nor does it have online appointment, medical and financial assistance integration, donation tracking, or post-discharge follow-up mechanisms, which are the core elements of the innovative system proposed in this invention.

[0017] Health[e]Foundation was established in 2003 with its headquarters in the Netherlands, primarily providing health education and information services, and using a combination of online and offline learning methods. However, the organization does not have an online patient appointment, inpatient portal, real-time tracking function of the hospital-based trust window, nor does it have a medical and financial assistance integration system and post-discharge follow-up service, which is significantly different from the integrated non-profit medical service platform proposed in this invention.

[0018] Test Card application British National Health Service (NHS UK)

[0019] From partnerships with NHS and Roche to at-home testing, Test Card creates a way to test at home, at a low cost, and get results immediately. Test Card combines a non-invasive postcard-sized urine test kit and a mobile app that turns a mobile phone camera into a clinical-grade scanner. However, unlike the current invention, Test Card does not have the functionality of online patient appointments, real-time tracking of LM / RM / CM systems at the inpatient portal, tracking of donations or medical and financial assistance, and post-discharge follow-up.

[0020] The Dunhill Medical Trust is a trust that funds research projects and provides social support for older people. The India Philanthropy Forum is a project that strengthens and improves primary health care through innovation.

[0021] The American Care Foundation is a health-focused relief and development organization that works to provide life-changing medicines, medical supplies, and health programs to people affected by poverty or disaster. The American Care Foundation organizes emergency response teams to provide emergency assistance, including medicines, medical supplies, water or water purification equipment, and other critical resources, to disaster survivors. However, unlike the current invention, the American Care Foundation does not have the functionality of online patient appointments, real-time tracking of LM / RM / CM systems at the inpatient portal, tracking of donations or medical and financial assistance, and post-discharge follow-up.

[0022] Currently, existing non-profit hospitals have limited technical resources in their operations, and even if they have complete equipment, their service coverage is very limited in geographical scope. Even if a non-profit hospital with the most advanced technology is established, it will involve huge economic investment. Those independent non-profit organizations that operate independently, pay medical or pharmacy bills for patients collectively, are usually third-party organizations that raise funds on a case-by-case basis, and do not provide alternative hospital guidance information that can provide preferential medical services. In addition, such independent organizations do not establish any tracking system to provide continuous tracking and support for patients in the community who need affordable medical services throughout the entire process from outpatient consultation, examination, hospitalization, surgery to discharge in the same tertiary hospital.

[0023] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a patient care model provided by a non-profit trust foundation that should be able to provide comprehensive care to patients in the same system of clinics, doctors’ offices, diagnostic centers, or tertiary hospitals without compromising the quality of care. In addition, there is a need for a well-planned non-profit foundation assistance model that can be integrated into existing tertiary or quaternary hospitals and diagnostic centers, with online patient appointment, tracking and monitoring from admission to discharge through a web-based portal system, and providing full-cycle medical and financial assistance from the start of the patient’s journey, from outpatient consultation, examination, admission, surgery, discharge, and follow-up.

[0024] GSBS Medical Trust has an app with a list of doctors in Mumbai, mainly for conducting free clinics, providing independent doctor consultations (including online consultations), and providing laboratory testing services. However, the system is not integrated with tertiary hospitals, does not have a time-variable-based discount model, does not have a trust service desk for real-time assessment and monitoring through the LM / RM / CM portal system, and cannot track donations or provide medical and financial assistance to inpatients in their respective hospitals.

[0025] Nightingale Medical Trust in Bangalore provides online consultations, dementia clinics, and geriatric support services. Curia is a website and app for cancer patients that provides second opinions from experts after uploading medical files. MMT Care App is a trust hospital app with similar functions to a general hospital app, providing appointment consultation services. However, none of the above systems are integrated with tertiary hospitals, do not have a time-variable-based discount model, do not have a trust service desk for real-time tracking through the LM / RM / CM portal system, and cannot provide medical and financial assistance to inpatients.

[0026] Prime Healthcare Foundation is a US-based medical foundation with a network of 14 non-profit hospitals. Valleywise Health Foundation (Phoenix) is a non-profit health cooperative whose mission is to raise funds for Valleywise Health's key programs, educational resources, research, program operations, and key patient services. The Patient Journey App aims to map the patient's journey through care, providing the right information at the right time through an interactive timeline to enable shared decision-making. The system also enables one-on-one monitoring of patients to collect important information including pain scores, medication adherence, wound healing, and PROMs data. However, the system is not integrated with high-level hospitals, does not have a time-variable-based discount model, does not have a web portal and trust kiosk for real-time tracking through the LM / RM / CM portal system, and cannot provide inpatient medical and financial assistance to patients during their stay, and lacks an external donor portal and external fund assistance mechanism.

[0027] Facilitating payment to medical service providers - US US20070011025A1:

[0028] The invention describes a computer-implemented transaction processing method whose process includes receiving a request from a service provider on a first host computer for authorization of payment of a charge to a purchaser; the system detects overpayment issues through an algorithm and automatically adjusts when the payment amount exceeds the amount due. For example, if a consultation or service is charged at $300, but the insurance company has agreed to pay only $100, the system will automatically identify the difference and refund the excess $200 to the patient or payer.

[0029] Medical plan payment system US US7922083B2 : The invention generally relates to a medical savings account and payment system, and more particularly, to a system and method for managing a card-based medical savings account and medical service provider payment plan. The method includes linking an existing transaction instrument associated with a non-tax-advantaged account to a tax-advantaged account using a computing device, receiving a payment request initiated by the transaction instrument using the computing device to pay for a purchase; the invention relates to the integration and direction of sources of out-of-pocket funds for application to card payment and tax-advantaged systems.

[0030] Computerized system and method for automating payment processes US US7752133B2 :

[0031] A method for automating the payment process for providing funds to potential subscribers based on their income, during their regularly scheduled, predefined time interval when they normally receive income, the method comprising the steps of: subscribing an individual by contacting a service provider, completing an authorization form and returning the form to the service provider, including authorization for a financial institution to transfer funds; entering the completed form into a database of the service provider; and returning the form to the potential subscriber to verify its status and income;

[0032] None of the above patents provide a non-profit foundation option, i.e. online patient appointments, real-time tracking through LM / RM / CM portal system, monitoring of inpatient using online / telemedicine technology, tracking of donations, medical and financial assistance, and post-discharge follow-up as provided by the present invention.

[0033] Some of the existing applications do have inpatient vital sign monitoring, such as PatientJourney APP, Teledoc, eVisit, Coviu, MedBridge, etc. These applications mainly provide online consultation services and send alerts for basic physiological parameters (such as temperature), thus enabling the connection between doctors and patients. In addition to providing discounted outpatient appointments, the present invention also includes inpatient appointments, medical and financial billing updates, monitoring through a website portal, medical and financial assistance (such as reduced or waived inpatient costs), post-discharge follow-up, and key event alerting within the admission portal system.

[0034] There are some patient assistance applications, such as the PAP application by Pfizer and the US MedEquip application, which are mainly used for drug assistance and medical equipment rental. However, these systems are independent support platforms and only target drug therapy or emergency equipment rental (such as ultrasound, ventilators, etc.), and do not have the functions of patient appointments, inpatient monitoring, non-profit cost reduction measures based on portal systems, direct financial assistance, or donor portals.

[0035] Some existing health management applications, such as Kenko Health in India and Virtuwell in the United States, provide subscription-based health plans, mainly covering outpatient services and pharmacy bills. Some platforms provide discounted consultations and drug services after patients pay, with a service range limited to partner hospitals. Virtuwell provides online consultations, treats simple illnesses, and provides 24-hour services by licensed nurses.

[0036] The application program of the present application is a registered charitable project that does not charge any fees to patients except for administrative charges. The system provides outpatient, inpatient and surgical services round the clock in existing clinics, doctors' offices, diagnostic centers and high level hospitals; enables tracking and monitoring of patients throughout their hospital stay and post discharge through a web portal; and simultaneously raises funds for major expenditures of patients during their hospital stay.

[0037] The application program of the present application has direct procurement of medicines, surgical consumables, life support systems, intensive care and cardiac devices pre-authorization functions and has established a preferential network of cooperation with such suppliers to ensure timely and low cost delivery. The system integrates the entire process from initial appointment, inpatient tracking to financial assistance through a single access portal to provide a one-stop, web portal mediated comprehensive medical and financial support system for patients.

[0068] The present application relates to a website / application / method / system integrated with multi-city clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals created by a non-profit foundation trust agency.

[0069] The present invention aims to provide a non-profit foundation trust website / application platform for providing appointment consultation, guidance for laboratory services / radiology services to patients in a multi-city / hospital / department / doctor availability model and tracking for hospitalization and surgery when required, for providing continuous monitoring and assistance for medical and financial needs of patients. The non-profit foundation website application can be installed on a mobile phone, laptop, desktop or computer system and the user can log in to use the application through the mobile number / hospital number provided by the foundation to the affiliated hospitals.

[0070] The application contains detailed information about the cities, hospitals, departments and affiliated doctors. In addition, there are also independent diagnostic centers affiliated to the system. The home page contains basic information about the foundation and the services it provides. The application has a patient section, a hospital section, a doctor usage section, an administrator usage section, a fund donor section, and a main page for displaying a list of priority patients who need medical / economic assistance. The patient section includes: an outpatient page for appointment consultation, an appointment page for outpatient records, an inpatient page with an appointment portal and inpatient records, and an insurance page for patients. The hospital section has local / regional / central monitoring portals for hospital staff to manage appointments, assess socio-economic status, and provide medical and financial assistance to the portal and recipients (such as patients / doctors / pharmaceutical companies / surgical departments / insurance companies / donors) through integrated login options and cloud messaging systems. In addition, the doctor section in the application provides an electronic prescription function and can send information about pharmaceutical / hospitalization needs / medical equipment needs and patient financial needs to other portals through the cloud messaging system, while confirming the status of patients who will be / have been hospitalized to donors. The web application also provides a donor section that allows the selection of donations to the general main fund or to specific patients and verifies the status and needs of patients with the attending physician through the cloud messaging and calling system within the application. At the same time, the system provides functions to track the flow of donated cash / equipment until it reaches the beneficiaries.

[0071] After selecting the city, hospital, and doctor, an online voucher (coupon) with a validity period of a few days or weeks can be generated on a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device through the Outpatient Appointment page of the Patient section of the web application, which can be obtained for free or by paying a small fee for consultation, laboratory, or radiology services in these clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals. The website uses the hospital cloud system / integrated software (such as SaaS / HMS) for appointments. At the same time, an electronic prescription software (such as MD Tool Box) is integrated into the non-profit foundation web application, and patients do not need to carry prescriptions to go to the pharmacy. The outpatient offer is a time-based variable offer, generally a decreasing offer (i.e., the offer decreases over time after booking), applicable to outpatient and inpatient services; however, in some cases, the offer can be increasing or fixed, depending on the patient's diagnosis and their socioeconomic status. All outpatient records / bills will be stored and bridged through online software (such as MySQL / Java BDC) in the Outpatient Records / Bills section. If hospitalization or surgery is required, a second voucher with a validity period can be generated online in the Admission Portal of the Patient section after entering the bed confirmation code provided by the local monitoring portal to obtain inpatient discounts. Patients can enjoy free or discounted inpatient bills through the Patient Admission page of the mobile phone or laptop. This process will generate an inpatient tracking system in the selected hospital. In addition, all discharge summaries / inpatient bills (including discount details) will also be stored and bridged through online software (such as MySQL / Java BDC or other platforms / languages with suitable coding integration) in the Outpatient Records / Bills section. The Hospital section has a local / regional / central monitoring portal installed in the computer system of the corresponding hospital. The local monitoring portal – Outpatient Desk is accessed on the computer system in the hospital's outpatient / checkout area where the non-profit foundation website application is installed. The website / application installed on the hospital system contains an LM portal for recording appointment patient details, diagnoses, admission information, daily progress of critically ill patients, and discharge. The Outpatient Desk of the LM portal also provides detailed information on bed availability, drug and equipment status, and contacts the relevant company office through the cloud messaging system and email login option integrated with the website application to arrange direct rental or discounted purchase of necessary drugs / life support system equipment and surgical implants. Since the same website application is also installed in these company offices, the LM portal of the hospital can be connected to the LM portal of the pharmaceutical / surgical company office through the cloud messaging system / integrated login option.The LM portal of the outpatient desk also integrates software tools such as Java / SSL support / PHP programming language for data entry, calculation of discounts; uses Oracle / MySQL to store data and display data / results on the website / application through JavaScript; and uses JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) or other platforms / languages with appropriate coding to bridge with the database. The software tool assesses the socioeconomic status of the patient’s family through a scoring system and recommends discounts to be given in the hospital bill after inputting income, social information, and declaration / affidavit. All outpatient records / bills and inpatient records (such as discharge summary / hospital bill and discount details) will be stored through the online software and bridging program (such as MySQL / Java BDC) in the records / bills section of the outpatient / admission page. Patients can also report or address any outpatient / inpatient issues through the message option in the outpatient / admission page.

[0072] The LM portal of the website application can also be accessed in the hospital computer system in the operating room / intensive care unit / rehabilitation area. The LM portal here is used to track the status of critically ill patients who have been admitted to the intensive care unit / operating room. The integrated AI window of the LM portal analyzes these data to predict possible complications and transmit the data to the regional monitoring portal located in the intensive care unit of the large hospital for analysis and review, thus arranging the necessary advanced medical support. In addition, the central monitoring portal provides cross-regional medical and economic assistance through communication with the regional monitoring portal and the local monitoring portal. The administrator section is used to manage doctors, hospitals, fund allocation, and other administrative matters, and has a company / office dashboard for necessary communication. The fund donor section displays summary information of patients in need of economic assistance (without revealing their identity) and provides assistance options after logging in to the payment gateway connected to the central monitoring portal and the attached bank account. The donor portal also provides options to donate to the main fund of the foundation or to a specific patient. The list of identified patients is displayed on the application home page (for priority patients) or only in the donor portal, visible only to donors. After the donation is completed, the donor can track the flow of funds / equipment from their account until it reaches the beneficiary. The central monitoring portal will notify and transfer the donation to the relevant local monitoring portal and issue a receipt after the funds are used to pay the hospital bill.

[0073] After discharge, the patient party returns to the LM portal at the outpatient desk to receive the approved discount or apply for more. The LM portal - outpatient desk finalizes the discount plan, makes a recommendation to the hospital, or self-reduces the bill, subsidizes the bill. Subsequently, the patient party uploads the confirmed final bill in their admission portal. The patient closes their admission portal, while the hospital closes the LM portal or chooses to monitor at home after discharge.

[0074] The non-profit foundation website application also provides a coupon-based option for independent or hospital-affiliated diagnostic services, which can choose to go to the testing center or collect laboratory samples at home, and send the test results to the patient's mobile phone.

[0075] In the medical foundation's website / application home page ( Figure 2 ), the patient can log in with a password / PIN code / fingerprint combination and choose the city, hospital, department, doctor, and date of appointment. The patient needs to fill in the payment category (such as cash or insurance). Figure 3 The patient portal is shown in detail, Figure 4 The booking overview of the outpatient and inpatient appointment page is shown. In the patient portal, login is verified by password / PIN code / fingerprint. The portal provides the patient's name, outpatient appointment, outpatient record / bill, admission page, laboratory / scanning page, and insurance assessment page. The laboratory / scanning section integrates a built-in trend algorithm (such as laboratory record software) that can display trends in test reports (such as blood lipid analysis, etc.) and compare them with previous values. The patient can set a valid period reminder alarm after outpatient consultation or admission, and the system will also send a message reminder, including appointment date reminders, reminders for the day, and notifications of discount reductions after the date expires. The LM portal sends medical and billing updates, as well as critical event updates, to the patient's admission page daily or periodically. In addition, the admission page provides an option to display the patient's information on the donor portal / home page and provides a direct inpatient intensive care unit appointment function. If the patient wishes to be listed on the foundation donor page to receive donation subsidies or additional assistance, a consent form must be signed. This process does not disclose any personal identity information. The insurance section includes policy details, premium payment dates, and annual allocation of family health budgets.

[0076] For patients requiring intensive care facilities, an additional booking link is provided in the application, where the hospital, ICU type and required ICU facility / doctor can be selected. The patient side is required to enter the initial code issued by the hospital local monitoring portal to book these services at an affordable cost. For consultation with an intensive care physician, the system provides both on-site consultation or video consultation. The hospital part is accessed by first logging in through a general login and then using a specific portal login to access the local, regional and central monitoring portals. The system integrates cloud messaging and login options for sending messages and emails.

[0077] Local Monitoring (LM) Portal

[0078] The local monitoring portal is logged into on the hospital's outpatient computer system and inpatient computer system and is responsible for meeting the medical and financial needs of the patient. For patients who have booked a free consultation, they must first go to the LM portal - outpatient service desk, or conduct an online socio-economic assessment through the software tool, and then they will be given a free consultation and free or higher discounted pathology and radiology examinations. For inpatients, before admission, the patient will obtain an estimate of the cost of surgery / required hospitalization days from the hospital. The patient's family members need to submit family details and proof of income / tax returns to the hospital's LM portal - inpatient trust service desk. The LM portal uses a software scoring tool such as a Java / SSL support / PHP language program to enter data, calculate discounts, and uses Oracle / MySQL to store data, uses JavaScript to display data on the website / application, and connects to the database through JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). The software tool assesses the socio-economic status and gives an estimated discount and rough final bill based on the socio-economic assessment results. The SES assessment scale may change with the annual price index / inflation, and the software tool used may change with the advancement of available technology. At the same time, the LM portal will also provide a second estimate of the planned admission / surgery from comparable cities / hospitals. The LM portal is also attached to a limited inventory of critical equipment such as ventilators / life-saving drugs, cardiac devices, etc., depending on the local budget. The LM portal recommends a scheme for patients who pay out of pocket (cash payers), insured patients, and other patients with partial / full payment or reimbursement of medical plans, with discounts or complete exemption from hospitalization fees.

[0079] The LM portal can also be accessed on computer systems in the operating room / recovery area / ICU, which display waveforms and numerical data for critical / specific patients. The LM portal also provides integrated artificial intelligence solutions. This is achieved by integrating an artificial intelligence library or application programming interface, which can use open-source resources or services from Google or Microsoft. Python, GO, Octave, or other similar platforms / languages are used as the backend AI algorithm to create APIs, deploy models in the cloud, and use APIs, such as connecting with programs like TensorFlow. Specific tools include the artificial intelligence-based emergency surgery risk prediction optimal tree (POTTER) calculator. The integrated AI is used to analyze data for critically ill patients and predict complications. Such data can be transmitted over the internet to the RM portal for further review and assistance in scheduling. During the patient's hospital stay, the treatment team updates the LM portal with the patient's medical condition and financial needs at the inpatient department. If higher levels of care are required, such as medical team consultations from higher centers / intensive care admissions / extracorporeal oxygenation services, the LM portal communicates with the RM portal to arrange the relevant services at a lower price or for free. In addition, the LM inpatient service desk also provides integrated teleconsultation services.

[0080] The emergency contact phone number for each LM-OP trust service desk is displayed on the home page of the web application for use by emergency patients. Emergency patients who cannot make an online appointment through the non-profit medical foundation trust website / application can go directly to the trust service desk after admission. After the patient's emergency treatment, the patient's family members generate an electronic voucher online. The patient's family members need to carry detailed family information and income proof to the trust service desk within a few days / weeks after admission to apply for hospitalization cost reduction / total exemption, which is audited and recommended by the trust service desk.

[0081] Insurance Department of the LM Portal

[0082] Insurance / Socioeconomic Status (SES) Assessment Appointment - Patients can schedule an insurance or socioeconomic status assessment through the Foundation's website / application. The LM portal provides special insurance policy arrangements. Through prior agreements, the LM portal contacts designated insurance company offices that have installed the network application to provide insurance options for patients who have undergone SES assessment at a reduced premium. This option can include reduced co-pay, shortened waiting period, exclusion of pre-existing conditions, congenital disease / cosmetic surgery, or compliance with trust requirements when settling claims. All paperwork is completed through the LM portal's integrated network interface with the insurance office, and medical verification is performed by the LM portal hospital. Premium payment and policy issuance are completed at the insurance company office. In addition, special plans are offered: insurance premiums for the elderly decrease or remain constant with age. Such options are achieved through the patient or family members' prepayment of additional pool funds during working hours, or by the Foundation / company providing subsidies. Another option is a partial premium return plan for old policies. The portion also stores policy files and provides insurance budget planning tools.

[0083] However, the network application may or may not charge only a management fee when scheduling an insurance socioeconomic status assessment, but the LM / RM / CM portal does not charge any premium. For cases where specific criteria cannot be used for private rooms or equipment in other medical programs, the LM portal will provide special upgrade plans to enable the use of these facilities.

[0084] Regional Monitoring (RM) Portal

[0085] The Regional Monitoring (RM) Portal can be accessed on computer systems in the operating rooms, recovery areas, and intensive care units of the fourth-level hospitals that serve a group of LM portal-affiliated hospitals. Data from critically ill patients in various LM portals are analyzed and reviewed here to provide higher-level medical advice, such as extracorporeal oxygenation support, etc. The portal is also equipped with a drug and surgical instrument warehouse and has similar procurement and rental functions as the LM portal. The main responsibility of the RM portal is to prioritize and manage the allocation of medical and economic assistance resources for the LM portal and handle simultaneous requests from multiple LM portals.

[0086] Central Monitoring (CM) Portal

[0087] The Central Monitoring Portal is a web application portal that is accessed on a computer located in the Intensive Care Unit of a quaternary care hospital or in the administrative office of a non-profit foundation. The CM portal receives inputs from the RM portal and the LM portal and responds primarily to financial and administrative requests. It schedules cross-border senior medical opinions and financial requests from the LM and RM portals, as well as other administrative liaison needs related to the clinic / diagnostic center / hospital / insurance office / bank / donor / any other office or healthcare facility related to the trust of the non-profit foundation.

[0088] Dashboard / page within the company / office portal / portal

[0089] There is a separate page / dashboard / portal in all three portals and the administrator portal that connects each portal with the insurance company, pharmaceutical / surgical / equipment rental office. Rental / purchase orders are sent directly through integrated login / cloud messaging options such as Broadvoice Cloud PBX, Firebase Authentication, Dependency, Google API Console, or other suitable SaaS software / platform / language and corresponding coding options. Since these are separate pages / dashboards, patient / reservation details are not accessible to the company / office. The LM portal provides a request explanation and orders the item while uploading relevant documents such as identification / income / salary proof / family / ration card, and a socio-economic status (SES) report, as well as the required concessions and exemptions. Each company / office issues items with feasible concessions / exemptions after analyzing the SES report of its office. The RM and CM portals are similar to the LM portal but without the service desk.

[0090] Donor portal

[0091] The web / application of the foundation donor department offers a variety of donation options, including general main fund or LM / RM budget donation, drug and equipment donation, which can be for general use or for specific patients. Patients who agree to be visible and identifiable recipients can directly receive financial / drug / equipment assistance, as donors can donate to the bills of specific patients. In this case, the donor will attach information to directly help the patient. This information is sent to the relevant LM portal, and the funds are transferred to the hospital billing section. The hospital company receipt, along with the patient's confirmation, is forwarded to the donor portal / donor with the resulting tax benefits. General fund donations are also used for the needs of specific patients, and the relevant invoices are forwarded without revealing the identity of the recipient. The foundation donor department displays a tracking function, and donors can view whether the funds / equipment donation for a specific patient has reached the beneficiary. Once the patient ID / donation ID is entered in the tracking window of the donor portal, the tracking of general donations, patient-specific donations, and equipment donations is provided.

[0092] Organ donor / recipient portal - handles organ donation. Displays organ-specific banks and matches donors / recipients.

[0093] Patient flow through the non-profit organization network / application / method / system

[0094] Patient portion of the outpatient / inpatient appointment page and patient flow through the non-profit foundation network / application integration with clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals, such as Figure 9 The foundation website provides detailed information on the cities / hospitals / departments / physicians / diagnostic centers and insurance companies with which it cooperates.

[0095] There are limited appointment slots per city / hospital / department per day to comply with the budgetary provisions of the foundation and the hospitals. All discounts range from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 100% of the bill, but are subject to the budget of the hospital / diagnostic center and the medical foundation.

[0096] After payment of a symbolic fee, an online voucher is generated on the mobile phone / laptop, which is valid for a certain number of days / weeks and can be used for free or discounted consultation services at the selected hospital / diagnostic center. The discount ranges from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 100%, i.e. full exemption from the fee.

[0097] Some of the slots are for free consultation. For free slots, the patient must go to the local monitoring portal of the foundation clinic within the hospital after online appointment for a socioeconomic status assessment, or complete the online SES assessment by uploading relevant documents. In addition, some physicians offer video consultation slots. If further laboratory tests or imaging scans are required, the patient can use the same voucher for free or discounted services at the same hospital or diagnostic center affiliated with the foundation. The patient can choose the on-site sampling service of the hospital / diagnostic center and send the results to the mobile phone. The discount ranges from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 100% (i.e. full exemption), depending on the budget of the hospital and the medical foundation and the results of the SES assessment.

[0098] After selecting the city, department, and doctor, an online voucher is generated, valid for a number of days / weeks, which can be used for free or for a nominal fee to access consultation, laboratory, or imaging services at these hospitals. The voucher uses a time-based variable discount model, typically offering the highest discount on the day of the appointment, and then gradually decreasing to encourage patients who really need the service to make an appointment. In some cases, such as oncology, due to frequent visits and increased costs, the discount can remain fixed or increase. The web application generates an automatic message upon successful appointment and sends a warning message one to two days before the appointment, and another automatic warning after the appointment date, reminding that the discount is decreasing and the validity period is ending. In addition, patients can choose a second opinion (offline or remote consultation) before deciding to be admitted or operated on. For this purpose, a separate window / portal is provided in the patient's appointment. Patients can choose offline / video consultation or just get an opinion by uploading recent diagnostic documents. There is also an option for a second opinion for remote imaging or remote pathology services for diagnostic review. In the outpatient portal of the website application, the consultation electronic record, electronic prescription, laboratory, and imaging reports are automatically saved, while manual upload of reports is also supported.

[0099] Each hospital allocates a certain number of beds to the non-profit foundation trust department by department. Once the planned admission or surgery is made, the patient must go to the LM portal outpatient service desk within the validity period of the voucher to submit documents, statements, or oaths for socioeconomic status assessment. The foundation uses the socioeconomic index to recommend a discount or full exemption based on the SES score. If full exemption is considered, a team will also visit the patient's home environment. Patients can also choose a second estimate of medical hospitalization days / surgery costs from comparable cities. For example, for total knee replacement surgery, the trust service desk of a second-tier city hospital will provide an estimate, and the patient can obtain another estimate from another second-tier city hospital before admission for reference.

[0100] The LM portal decides on the discount or full exemption after SES assessment. After the patient agrees to be admitted, the LM portal generates a code. The patient must enter this code and the outpatient code, choose the payment method (cash / insurance) and fill in the insurance number, then pay a nominal fee on the website / application to generate an admission voucher (see Figure 11 ), which allows the patient to be treated or operated on in the hospital. The second voucher creates a patient tracking system in the foundation website / application and facility system to manage admitted patients and ensure that the required discount is enjoyed.

[0101] Medical and financial assistance provided through the LM portal

[0102] For planned or elective outpatient consultation, the LM portal routinely recommends discounted or free consultation, pathology and imaging after a socioeconomic assessment. After the voucher is generated, the validity of these services is limited to a number of days or weeks. For inpatient / surgery discounts (cash / insurance patients), the SES assessment must be performed within the validity of the voucher to generate the inpatient / surgery voucher. The LM portal receives the inpatient decision from the physician page and sends a reminder about the suggested and discounted reduction. For emergency patients, since there is no online appointment, the patient side needs to go to the LM portal trust kiosk after emergency treatment for SES assessment and to obtain the discount recommendation.

[0103] The LM portal also handles medical or financial assistance needed for unexpected situations that occur during the patient's hospitalization. For example, arranging a ventilator when intensive care beds are scarce, or contacting manufacturers / equipment rental offices through online direct rental / purchasing options to obtain expensive life-saving drugs, equipment, or surgical implants. For example, high-priced medical devices such as FDA- or internationally certified cardiac stents, cardiac pacemakers, left ventricular assist devices, extracorporeal oxygenators, or zirconia implants for knee joints can be obtained through this channel. In addition, the LM portal integrates a remote video consultation window for remote follow-up / home monitoring after discharge. The LM portal also provides a messaging function, and after entering the corresponding code / number, the patient can receive notifications and communications about outpatient / inpatient issues.

[0104] The LM portal provides direct or indirect financial assistance to patients. Indirect assistance is usually achieved by recommending discounts in outpatient and inpatient bills. Inpatient bill discounts are provided after a socioeconomic assessment using an integrated socioeconomic assessment index software tool that uses Jawa / SSL support / PHP language programs to enter data, calculate discounts, and store data through Oracle / MySQL, display data in websites / applications using JavaScript, and connect to databases through JDBC. In eligible cases, the LM portal can also provide full exemption or direct financial assistance. Patients can choose real-time financial assistance during hospitalization, place themselves in the fund donor department as direct fund recipients, and agree to have their identity disclosed; otherwise, it is treated as an anonymous indirect fund pool.

[0105] At discharge, the patient side needs to carry the discount details provided by the hospital to the LM portal outpatient trust kiosk. The foundation can approve the discount, require the hospital to provide more discounts, or partially or fully fund the bill from the trust. After the patient side pays the bill, the final bill with discounts is uploaded to the inpatient portal of the trust website / application and the portal is closed, and the hospital closes the LM portal or chooses to provide post-discharge home monitoring, physiotherapy, and other services. Subsequently, the patient will receive a discharge summary.

[0106] The present invention provides a digital platform for non-profit trust for patient care at the same tertiary hospital / doctor by carving out an alternate non-profit care pathway in the established clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals without compromising on the quality of care. There is no similar network / application available that integrates with the existing healthcare setup for appointments.

[0107] The website application explains the functioning of the non-profit trust with the partner hospitals and how to reduce the cost of healthcare without compromising on the quality of care by means of socio-economic assessment, hospital / doctor fee waivers, drug / surgery concessions, donor contributions, corporate sponsorships and other resources in the same hospital.

[0108] While hospitals may have their own website / application for patient appointments or case management, there is usually no discounted or free consultation service. The concept of booking an appointment at a for-profit clinic / diagnostic center / hospital at a nominal fee is novel and there is no similar model available at present.

[0109] The present invention provides novel features for outpatient appointments such as changing the appointment date, validity of the appointment (in terms of days / weeks) and a novel mechanism for pre / post appointment messaging system set by the patient.

[0110] The outpatient page also provides for personal or family outpatient access budget planning and insurance options for outpatient services.

[0111] At present, some non-profit trusts (such as the GSBS Trust in Mumbai) provide discounted online standalone consultations at the trust premises.

[0112] The innovation in the present invention is that the outpatient appointment portal is integrated with the for-profit high-end clinic / diagnostic center / hospital and the patient, after booking an appointment at this portal, can avail all the subsequent services provided by the hospital.

[0113] None of the available non-profit trust website / application provides a mechanism for emergency patient access and direct intensive care admission / transport.

[0114] The present invention provides emergency LM portal contact details and ICU / facility appointment options for planning a direct transport non-profit care pathway in the existing hospital.

[0115] The existing application does not provide an admission appointment feature for inpatient treatment / surgery.

[0116] The patient section of the application provides an inpatient appointment feature with support for changing the date, daily / periodic medical and financial updates and the ability to save these updates as screenshots in an update file.

[0117] There is no application that provides a direct option for critical care transport. This application provides the ability to transport critical patients directly to a cardiac / surgical / medical intensive care unit.

[0118] Patients can choose to have their profile displayed in the home page priority list / donor portal / anonymous billing offers to receive donation assistance.

[0119] The present invention provides a novel method for scheduling a socio-economic assessment to receive a cash discount on a hospital bill or an assessment for a special insurance policy.

[0120] The patient portion of the application also provides novel home health budget planning, outpatient visit funding allocation, and overall budget allocation functionality.

[0121] In existing applications, the voucher is generated instantaneously and specifies a specific date.

[0122] The voucher of the present invention has a novel validity period design of several days / weeks and is equipped with a reminder / message system to remind the user of the discount reduction and the approaching end of the validity period before and after the scheduled date.

[0123] The outpatient page integrates a report trend calculator and a disease risk assessment calculator for use by the user or the physician.

[0124] Some existing applications do provide inpatient vital sign monitoring, such as Patient Journey APP, Teledoc, eVisit, Coviu, MedBridge, etc. These applications mainly provide online consultations and issue warnings for basic physiological parameters such as body temperature, while connecting patients and physicians. The present invention, in addition to providing outpatient scheduling, inpatient scheduling, medical and financial billing updates, also provides medical and financial assistance in the form of monitoring, inpatient billing discounts or full exemption, and critical event warnings in the admission portal and post-discharge follow-up functions mediated by the website portal.

[0125] Existing non-profit website applications do not have a monitoring portal to manage appointments / admissions, nor do they provide monitoring and medical / financial assistance. The website application of the present invention has a local monitoring portal for visits to the hospital, a regional monitoring portal for managing a group of local monitoring portals, and a central monitoring portal for handling financial, administrative, and international medical needs.

[0126] Existing social economic assessments (SES) often have a poverty line / federal poverty line (FPL) floor for eligibility determination for insurance programs, and some have an annual window, such as Medicaid in the United States. For example, the BPL card / Ayushman Bharat card in India or Medicaid in the United States has an upper limit on income and occupation. For example, at the time of filing this application, Medicaid is open to enrollment for adults up to 150% of the federal poverty line, and the open period is usually from November 1 to January 15 of the following year, and special enrollment depends on major life events (such as loss of health coverage, moving, marriage, birth or adoption of a child), or family income below a certain level. The present invention stratifies all patients according to their socioeconomic status, classifies patients below the poverty line (BPL / FPL / official or supplementary poverty indicators) and above, and provides medical and financial support throughout the year by conducting SES assessment at admission, without any enrollment window period, to obtain special insurance programs.

[0127] For example, the United States sets the FPL (federal poverty line) percentage threshold for Medicaid coverage, which varies by age, required services, and state regulations. Non-profit foundations set FPL levels above the Medicaid threshold to provide discounts. For example, if the Medicaid threshold is FPL 150%, the non-profit foundation sets FPL levels: 151-300%, 301-450%, 451-600%, 601-900%, and over 900% to provide different levels of discounts. These FPL levels and discount levels may change over time and may vary by service type (e.g., outpatient, medication, hospital bill) and coverage type (adult, child, pregnant woman). For example, children and pregnant women have a higher threshold in Medicaid, and the foundation's levels will be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the method of SES assessment, the scope of assessment coverage, and the processing of hospital bills may vary over time and by country. Insurance tax credits are also available for FPL up to 400%. Discount levels may also be adjusted based on the amount of coverage selected.

[0128] In addition, the discount tiers can also be based on the official poverty measure (OPM) and the supplemental poverty measure (SPM). The official poverty measure (OPM) sets a poverty threshold, the minimum income needed to avoid poverty, which is adjusted annually for inflation using the consumer price index (CPI) and adjusted for family size, composition, and head of household age. The supplemental poverty measure (SPM) is based on additional factors, such as resource units (unrelated children / relatives), thresholds based on food, clothing, housing, and utility expenditures; resource estimates are based on total cash income plus resource units of non-cash benefits available to meet FCSU (food, clothing, shelter, and utilities) needs, minus taxes (or plus tax credits), work expenses, medical expenses, and payments to other households for child support.

[0129] The referenced government healthcare program examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the position of any state or federal government.

[0130] The official poverty measure (OPM) threshold for 2022 was $29,678; the supplemental poverty measure (SPM) threshold for a consumption unit containing two adults and two children was $34,235 for homeowners with a mortgage; $28,909 for homeowners without a mortgage; and $34,518 for renters. Discount tiers can be set based on such supplemental poverty thresholds.

[0133] Currently, there are a few patient assistance applications, such as Pfizer's AP application and American Medical Supply application, which provide drug assistance and device rental support. These applications are standalone support systems, mainly for drug therapy and emergency rental devices (such as ultrasound / ventilators), but do not involve patient appointments, inpatient monitoring portals, non-profit cost control measures, direct financial assistance, or donor portals. The application of the present invention provides direct drug procurement options, surgical supplies, life support systems, pre-authorization of intensive care and cardiac devices, and surgical supplies required for planned surgeries, while establishing priority network relationships with relevant suppliers to ensure timely delivery and reduce costs. In addition, the application provides a single access portal network portal from the patient's initial appointment, tracking to financial assistance, achieving full-process non-profit support.

[0134] Currently, there are Kenko Health in India and Virtuwell in the United States, which mainly provide pre-subscription health plans covering outpatient (OPD) services and drug bills. Some applications provide plans after payment, and provide discounted consultation and drug services in partner hospitals. Virtuwell provides online consultation by certified nurse practitioners, handles simple conditions, and provides 24-hour nurse practitioner support. The application of the present invention is registered as a charity, does not charge any fees to patients (only management fees), provides outpatient physician services, inpatient, surgery, and 24-hour tracking and monitoring after admission and discharge through the network portal, and raises funds for major expenses during hospitalization.

[0135] The application provides a company / office window for unique socio-economic assessment within the LM / RM / CM portal, and forwards the report and related documents to the relevant insurance company office to provide special insurance policies.

[0136] In addition, the company / office window of the application can also forward the SES report and documents to the relevant drug / surgical / device office to provide preferential rental / procurement services for drugs or devices.

[0137] Existing health cards and discount coupons provide fixed discounts and charge healthy people. Many health cards also have a waiting period before they take effect, so they are of limited help to patients who need emergency care. The application of the present invention provides a unique discount model operated by a network portal, characterized by time-based variable discounts, with the highest discount on the day of online appointment consultation, and then gradually decreasing over the next few days / weeks. Unlike health cards, the application does not charge healthy people. After the voucher is generated, the discount will decrease over time, ensuring that the discount service is only available to patients who really need it, forming an anti-abuse mechanism.

[0138] There are also some applications that provide health insurance guidance and offer information on discounts, such as Policy Bazaar in India and UPMC Health in the United States of America, Pennsylvania, which provide information on health insurance and service providers and help users plan their personal health budget. However, these applications do not recommend policies based on socio-economic insurance assessments, nor do they provide tracking assistance or recommend the issuance of policies to insurance offices to avoid waiting periods, pre-existing illness, or congenital disease restrictions. The present application provides instant, waiting period-free insurance support by conducting medical assessments through the LM portal within the same hospital and arranging patients with insurance offices to provide special insurance plans.

[0139] There are many web applications currently available for raising funds for medical bills, such as Donorbox or Charity Miles internationally, and Impactguru and Ketto in India. Through these independent fundraising platforms, users can raise funds, but lack real-time tracking features. The present application provides a unique donor portal that accepts both anonymous general fund donations and donations for specific patients. Donors can not only donate but also track the use of funds in real-time, including the location, time, purpose of use, and beneficiaries of the funds during the patient's hospital stay. The application also provides further options, such as sponsoring a medical admission, surgery, or medical activity / clinic, providing support for a specific date or activity.

[0140] Existing applications typically collect donations on a case-by-case basis and use them to meet the needs of patients. The uniqueness of the present invention is that it displays the current fund statistics for each patient, including direct financial / equipment contributions from other donors and indirect discount contributions from foundations / hospitals / physicians. Once the target fund is reached, the system will close the patient's donation portal.

[0141] Low-cost medical care can be provided without the need for additional investment to establish independent non-profit clinics or hospitals, as the care services are provided in existing tertiary hospitals.

[0142] The present invention is a website / application / method / system of a non-profit foundation trust platform that can be integrated into existing tertiary hospitals, adopting a multi-city / multi-department / multi-physician model. There are currently no similar non-profit trust websites and their applications that can be integrated with for-profit or other clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals.

[0143] Existing independent patient appointment services, such as the GSBT Trust, typically conduct consultations at independent locations where doctors provide services. In the unique model of the present invention, patients can initiate their non-profit care path within existing for-profit high-end clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals.

[0144] In most existing non-profit referral applications, such as GSBT Trust Facility, only outpatient consultation is provided, with a maximum of limited diagnostic service discount. If further assistance is required, the patient needs to seek other funding or discount sources / applications, such as crowdfunding platforms like Milaap, for hospitalization or surgery. The application of the present invention provides a complete non-profit care pathway, from consultation to admission, surgery, and post-discharge follow-up, covering discounts, medical and financial assistance, and full integration throughout the process.

[0145] Most existing health cards, discount coupons, or other non-profit website applications provide patients with fixed discounts. The application of the present invention provides online vouchers with a dynamic discount model, which are valid for several days / weeks and can be used for outpatient consultation, laboratory, and imaging services. By setting an incremental / fixed / decremental pattern of discounts, the application uses a time-based variable discount model to ensure that patients who really need it can get the discount.

[0146] Although existing applications provide a second opinion for outpatient consultation, the present application provides a second opinion service specifically for imaging and pathology. In addition, there is currently no application that provides a second estimate service for hospitalization or surgery.

[0147] Unlike other applications or health cards, the present application only charges patients a management fee and does not charge a subscription fee to healthy people to enjoy discounts, exemptions, or assistance in obtaining insurance policies.

[0148] Currently, there is no application that provides a non-profit network application system for profit or high-end hospitalization. The innovation of the present invention is that online admission and surgery vouchers are generated by the network application of the non-profit foundation, which is novel and creative. Vouchers can be generated through symbolic payment or online input of insurance number. This mechanism uniquely creates an independent online tracking system for patients who have been admitted, managed by the LM / CM / RM portal system of the non-profit foundation, to track the entire medical process in real time and collaborate with the hospital LM portal through a central / regional monitoring system to provide medical and financial assistance.

[0149] Most existing non-profit website applications can only provide elective independent consultation appointments, while emergency care is usually only available at non-profit hospitals. In the present invention, the patient portal provides a direct transfer function for emergency / critical patients, which can be used after confirmation and generation of the initial code by the relevant LM portal. The LM portal (trust service desk) installed in the hospital system can also serve emergency patients who cannot make online appointments. These patients or their agents can generate online admission vouchers after emergency treatment or admission and submit documents for socioeconomic assessment within several days / weeks to recommend discounts or full exemption of bills.

[0150] While existing drug applications provide online direct purchase and discounts, they are usually not available during a patient's hospital stay. The LM / RM / CM portal system of the present invention provides direct procurement services for drugs, surgical supplies, and medical equipment during a patient's hospital stay, with higher discounts.

[0151] Some existing applications do provide cross-border or high-end specialist consultations (with prior partnership agreements), such as the Curia application for cancer treatment, which can review uploaded reports within 8 days. The application of the present invention provides medical and financial assistance to patients in need and critically ill patients through a web portal, while providing novel cross-border consultation services, including remote consultations and further comprehensive treatment plans, designed specifically for patients in need and critically ill patients.

[0152] At the technical level, the present invention implements advanced internet data transmission and AI data analysis, which can generate alerts and responses between the portals of different level hospitals in a timely manner, so as to provide timely help for critically ill patients when necessary, and realize data transmission between hospitals through the LM / RM / CM portal system.

[0153] The LM portal installed in the hospital system can provide special insurance policies according to the socio-economic assessment, with very short or no waiting period, while accepting previous diseases. Although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the United States also accepts previous diseases, it only covers within 400% of FPL, and the open registration time is from November 1st to January 15th of the following year. The special insurance policy of the present invention is accessible throughout the year, covering all socio-economic levels above the ACA FPL in the United States and above the BPL in India, as well as private insurance plans and congenital disease protection.

[0154] There is no non-profit application currently providing a system for insurance companies to return part or all of the premium, which is a novel and creative way to assist patients who have been admitted.

[0155] Some health insurance plans do not cover some equipment or care, such as stents or private rooms due to cost or subsidy issues. The present invention provides upgrade options that allow patients to use these services at an affordable price, thereby maintaining medical quality.

[0156] The entire website / application / method / system provides a practical and feasible solution: providing low-cost medical services in existing hospitals without the need to establish a non-profit trust hospital, thereby saving a large amount of financial resources. At the same time, care is provided in high-end clinics / diagnostic centers / hospitals to ensure that medical quality is not affected. All medical and financial assistance is provided in real time during a patient's hospital stay.

[0157] The present application also provides a novel donor portal, through which donors can donate funds or equipment to general funds or specific patients, and track the use of the donations in real time until they reach the beneficiaries, thereby achieving transparency in the governance of the use of funds.

[0158] Work Example 1 - Donor Portal Assistance Category:

[0159] Mr. A is an 8-year-old boy with hepatoblastoma. He has been undergoing chemotherapy for more than 6 months and now needs a liver transplant. His family learns about a non-profit foundation that works with the hospital and makes an appointment with the oncology and hematology doctors through the web / app.

[0160] The patient makes an appointment after paying a nominal fee online (as shown in FIG. 16A), and then consults with the oncology doctor following the path shown in FIG. 16B until admission. Due to the high cost of liver transplantation, the patient submits the required patient and family identification documents, family food cards, and income / salary certificates for the non-profit foundation's socioeconomic assessment (as shown in FIGS. C-E), and completes the surgery with the assistance of the non-profit foundation and the donor portal (as shown in FIGS. F1-F2).

[0161] Results - The 8-year-old patient completes the liver transplant through the non-profit care pathway of the foundation, with the total cost reduced from the original estimate of 2.4 million rupees to 1.25 million rupees. A 40% SES discount (hospital / doctor fee waivers, corporate sponsorships) initially reduces the estimated cost to 1.66 million rupees. An additional 10% discount further reduces the bill to 1.25 million rupees. Donors learn about hospital / doctor / corporate sponsorships and other donor-provided discounts through the donor portal. Donors collectively contribute 900,000 rupees, and the patient pays only 350,000 rupees out of pocket.

[0162] Work Example 2 Category: Special SES Congenital Disease Insurance Policy Issuance

[0163] Mr. B is a 20-year-old young man with long-lasting headaches and hand weakness who has seen multiple doctors. He was previously diagnosed with mild Arnold-Chiari type I malformation, which is a congenital disease diagnosed before the purchase of an insurance policy, and some insurance companies refuse to insure him due to the waiting period for pre-existing conditions and medical necessity.

[0164] Due to the worsening of headaches and hand weakness, the patient's family decides to apply for special insurance through the non-profit foundation's trust website by making an appointment for an SES assessment. The patient completes the appointment after paying a nominal fee online (as shown in FIGS. 17A-C).

[0165] After the SES assessment, the patient was transferred to the neurosurgery department for further medical evaluation and, with the assistance of a nonprofit foundation, underwent surgery using a special insurance policy (as shown in Figures 18D–F). Postoperatively, complications were tracked and managed through home monitoring via the LM portal, and the patient was readmitted for treatment before being discharged (as shown in Figure 18F).

[0166] Outcome - The patient, suffering from Arnold-Chiari type I malformation with brain / spinal cord cysts, underwent major surgery through a special insurance policy recommended by the foundation. Since additional medical expenses such as neurological monitoring were not covered by insurance, the foundation's LM / RM / CM portal provided direct financial assistance to ensure the patient received full treatment and necessary monitoring.

[0167] Example 3 — COVID-19 Case Study — Internal Funding / Equipment Assistance (Not Displayed Through the Donor Portal)

[0168] Mr. C, 42 years old, had a fever and cold for 5 days and made an online appointment through a non-profit trust hospital. He tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted for observation (e.g., Figure 19A As shown), due to a pre-existing respiratory condition, he subsequently developed severe respiratory failure (Murray score). Although some costs were covered by insurance, through assistance from a non-profit foundation, he received timely ventilator and ECMO support and enjoyed subsidized costs (such as...). Figure 19B (As shown).

[0169] Commentary – This was a COVID-19 case requiring ventilator and ECMO treatment. Upon admission, the ICU lacked a ventilator, forcing this critically ill patient with low oxygen levels to be transferred. The local monitoring portal – trust desk arranged for a ventilator so the patient could immediately receive ICU care. Simultaneously, AI predictive tools, such as the XGBoost algorithm based on the MIMICIII database, the CAD4COVID tool for respiratory failure / treatment variant TVAE / ECMO needs, and continuous data transmission to the regional monitoring facility were initiated. The regional monitoring facility prepared for ECMO. Even with ventilator support, the patient developed severe respiratory failure. Because not all hospitals are equipped with ECMO, this was arranged through LMPortal – trust desk, with a nearly 40% rental discount and additional internal funding, allowing the patient to survive.

[0170] Financial - In addition to saving the patient's life with the ventilator and ECMO, the non-profit foundation reduced the cost of the ARDS ECMO from $4,800 per day to $3,000 per day, while insurance only covered $1,900 per day, and provided an internal funding subsidy for the remaining $1,100 per day, as the patient's family was unwilling to display information on a donation portal. ECMO was not fully covered by the insurance policy, and the non-profit trust saved the patient and saved costs. Thus, $58,000 was saved for the patient in 20 days.
