734 results about "Pharmacometrics" patented technology

Pharmacometrics is mathematical models of biology, pharmacology, disease, and physiology used to describe and quantify interactions between xenobiotics and patients (human and non-human), including beneficial effects and adverse effects. It is normally applied to quantify drug, disease and trial information to aid efficient drug development, regulatory decisions and rational drug treatment in patients.

System and Method for Personalized Health Optimization Using Causal Inference and a Dynamic Knowledge Graph

A computer-implemented system for personalized health optimization constructs a confidence-weighted personal health knowledge graph (PHKG) from heterogeneous data, including wearable sensors, medical devices, lab results, medication logs, and conversational inputs. A multi-stage causal-inference stack identifies modifiable drivers of outcomes using layered methods (e.g., MI, GAM, Neural Granger, DAG-GNN), and simulates candidate interventions. A recommendation engine ranks lifestyle or pharmacologic actions using a benefit-to-friction score, selecting a personalized intervention aligned with user readiness and clinical safety constraints. Interventions may include a minimum effective dose (MED), optimal level, adaptive low-dose, or behavioral challenge. Optional modules include reinforcement learning for timing adaptation and privacy-preserving on-device inference. The system operates across domains including metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, sleep, stress, and medication response, enabling cross-condition synergy evaluation. The architecture is modular, supports runtime plug-in targets, and adapts in real time with or without continuous clinical oversight, depending on deployment.
