Latest Patents
One of Zhou's latest patents is titled "Question generation systems and methods for automating diagnosis." This invention discloses systems and methods for generating questions that help obtain more relevant medical information based on observed symptoms from patients. The process involves querying a knowledge graph to generate possible diseases associated with the observed symptoms. Additionally, candidate symptoms related to these diseases are identified and combined with the observed symptoms to create comprehensive symptom sets. Discriminative scores for these candidate symptom sets are determined, allowing for the selection of the most relevant candidate symptoms. This method aims to streamline the information-gathering process for healthcare providers.
