Title: Wencke Armsen and a Patent for Predictive Health Risk Modeling

Introduction

Wencke Armsen is an inventor associated with Eppstein, Germany, and Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH. Her patent work concerns using medical information and computer-based modeling to predict adverse health conditions in patient subpopulations.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists 1 patent for Armsen: “Medical device and computer-implemented method of predicting risk, occurrence or progression of adverse health conditions in test subjects in subpopulations arbitrarily selected from a total population.”

The patent describes a computer-implemented method for generating a generalized model to predict the occurrence or progression of an adverse health condition in a selected subpopulation. The method extracts information from publications about the characteristics of different subpopulations, the occurrence or severity of the condition, and related prognostic results. It associates those characteristics with factors representing their potential beneficial or adverse contribution and their frequency in the populations studied. The information is combined into a model for the total population, including a calculation of baseline patient risk, and stored on a computer-accessible medium.

Career Highlights

Armsen’s listed patent reflects work at the intersection of medical devices, health data, and predictive modeling. The approach aims to draw on findings from multiple published studies to support risk prediction for populations that may differ from those originally examined.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Ulrich Tschulena and Francesco Bellocchio as Armsen’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Wencke Armsen’s listed invention focuses on combining published medical evidence into a generalized computer-based model for predicting health risks, linking her patent record with predictive methods in healthcare.
