The disclosed embodiments can be used to automate the acquisition and management of user consents for one or more campaigns, thus reducing the possibility of unintended violations of consent requirements as compared with existing systems. In accordance with the disclosed embodiments, each user consent may be associated with at least three different values. The consent management system may be configured to filter consent values for various users and send user-consent requests to certain users… Show more

The disclosed embodiments can be used to automate the acquisition and management of user consents for one or more campaigns, thus reducing the possibility of unintended violations of consent requirements as compared with existing systems. In accordance with the disclosed embodiments, each user consent may be associated with at least three different values. The consent management system may be configured to filter consent values for various users and send user-consent requests to certain users based on their filtered user-consent values. In some disclosed embodiments, a user may provide consent to allow communications of the user's information to certain “connected parties.” The connected parties, moreover, may need to separately provide user consent(s) as necessary to effectuate communications for a campaign in compliance with one or more laws, rules, or regulations.

The disclosed embodiments can be used to manage access to a plurality of secure records, thus rendering access to the secure records more efficient and secure. In accordance with certain disclosed embodiments, the secure records access management system may be configured to grant and revoke access to secure records upon the occurrence of certain events. In some disclosed embodiments, a secure record may comprise a third-party mention to indicate to the system that a third party should be… Show more

The disclosed embodiments can be used to manage access to a plurality of secure records, thus rendering access to the secure records more efficient and secure. In accordance with certain disclosed embodiments, the secure records access management system may be configured to grant and revoke access to secure records upon the occurrence of certain events. In some disclosed embodiments, a secure record may comprise a third-party mention to indicate to the system that a third party should be granted access to the secure record. After detecting such a third-party mention, the system may grant the third party temporary access to information in the secure record, where such temporary access comprises the same access permissions as other users having access to the same secure record. The system may revoke the third party's access to the secure record. Show less

A method for processing medical images for use in the detection and diagnosis of disease comprises classifying regions of interest within the medical images based on a hierarchy of anatomical models and signal models of signal information of an image acquisition device used to acquire the medical images. The anatomical models are derived to be representative of anatomical information indicative of a given disease. A computer-aided system for use in the diagnosis and detection of disease… Show more

A method for processing medical images for use in the detection and diagnosis of disease comprises classifying regions of interest within the medical images based on a hierarchy of anatomical models and signal models of signal information of an image acquisition device used to acquire the medical images. The anatomical models are derived to be representative of anatomical information indicative of a given disease. A computer-aided system for use in the diagnosis and detection of disease comprises an image acquisition device for acquiring a plurality of image data sets and a processor adapted to process the image data sets. The processor is adapted to classify selected tissue types within the image data sets based on a hierarchy of signal and anatomical models and the processor is further adapted to differentiate anatomical context of the classified tissue types for use in the diagnosis and detection of disease.
