Aspects of the present disclosure relate to medical treatment management. Medical data associated with a user is received. A medical condition of the user is identified based on the medical data. Object data of a plurality of objects in a vicinity of the user is received. The object data is analyzed to determine an identity and characteristics of each object of the plurality of objects. The plurality of objects are compared to medical tools in a medical database using the characteristics within the object data. A subset of objects matching to respective medical tools are then identified. A medical procedure utilizing at least one object of the subset of objects to address the medical condition is identified. A recommendation is then transmitted that the medical procedure should be used to address the medical condition using the at least one object.

The present disclosure provides techniques for data transmission. According to one technique, a request from a data sender for sending data to a data receiver is received, wherein the request comprises a content indicating a verification code. Then, a first solution to the verification code based on the request can be obtained. The verification code can be sent to the data receiver. A second solution to the verification code can be received from the data receiver, wherein the second solution is generated by the data receiver. Transmission of the data from the data sender to the data receiver can be enabled in response to the first solution consistent with the second solution.

Data transmission based on verification codes

Similar to other Cloud Service, Solution as Services over Cloud, as single tenant technology, also requires support of agility and flexibility as a fundamental feature of Cloud computing. Different from other Cloud services, the agility and flexibility typically are not triggered by the typical performance metrics, but at the business level of metrics. A causality analysis method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium using a causal graph depicting relationships among observable primitive metrics from infrastructure, middleware, and business metrics and latent business metrics of an application, include identifying a metric value resulting from measuring the system and application metrics, determining an impact of the measurement of the metrics on the business metrics associated with the measurable metrics in the causal graph, and determining an action to take with respect to the impact on the business metric based on the pre-defined business policies.

System, method and recording medium for causality analysis for auto-scaling and auto-configuration

Mechanisms are provided, in a hierarchical feedback aggregation (HFA) system implemented in one or more data processing systems, for collecting and presenting user feedback information for a composite offering. A backend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a first data processing system, registers a hierarchical feedback model for the composite offering. A frontend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a second data processing system, receives user feedback for an identified component of the composite offering. The backend engine of the HFA system generates an aggregate user feedback score for the identified component based on a combination of the user feedback for the identified component and aggregate user feedback scores for child components of the identified component in the hierarchical feedback model. The backend engine outputs a representation of the generated aggregate user feedback score for the component to a user.

Rating aggregation and propagation mechanism for hierarchical services and products

A method, system, and/or computer program product for identifying and replacing a deficient component in a product. One or more processors deconstruct a text product review into multiple n-grams, where each of the multiple n-grams is a review of a particular component from components of a product. The processor(s) generate a component numeric rating value (CNRV) for each of the multiple n-grams, where the CNRV is based on an analysis of each of the multiple n-grams. The processor(s) identify a deficient component of the product. The processor(s) identify a cause of the deficiency in the deficient component and identify a replacement component that does not cause the deficiency in the deficient component. The processor(s) direct a manufacturing device that manufactures the product to replace the deficient component with the replacement component.

Decomposing composite product reviews

Mechanisms are provided for implementing a patient health management system. The mechanisms analyze a patient electronic medical record (EMR) for an identified patient to identify a medical condition associated with the patient and identify, based on the results of the analysis, one or more exogenous data parameters associated with the medical condition. The exogenous data parameters are parameters specifying conditions outside the patient's body that affect the health of the patient with regard to the medical condition. The mechanisms retrieve exogenous data, corresponding to the exogenous data parameters, from one or more exogenous data sources and generate a health management plan for the patient based on the exogenous data. The health management plan comprises actions to be performed or not performed by the patient to thereby minimize effects of exogenous conditions, corresponding to the exogenous data parameters, on the health of the patient with regard to the medical condition.

Patient treatment recommendations based on medical records and exogenous information

One or more processors deconstruct, by utilizing natural language processing (NLP), a text product review into multiple n-grams, where each of the multiple n-grams is a sequence of words from the text product review, and where each of the multiple n-grams is a review of a particular component from the multiple components of the product. The processor(s) generate a component numeric rating value (CNRV) for each of the multiple n-grams using machine learning techniques such as collaborative filtering, and store CNRVs for the multiple components of the product together with identifiers of particular components of the product. The processor(s) receive a request for a particular CNRV for the particular component of the product, retrieve the particular CNRV, and then transmit the particular CNRV to a requesting device of the request in order to adjust an operational feature of the requesting device.
