Latest Patents

Wilms is associated with 1 patent, titled “Computer system and method for efficient index creation for a streaming database.” The invention describes a system that receives messages containing patients’ measured medical-state values and processes them with parameter-augmentation algorithms to calculate additional values. Generated records are added to the data stream, while a data handler creates persistent tables for patient-and-signal combinations and maintains block-range indexes for time information. This approach supports efficient access to patient data as incoming records are stored and indexes updated.
