Dental Health Tracking Via Blockchain

A method for managing dental records using a blockchain includes receiving, from a dental device, one or more signals associated with a dental activity being performed by the dental device, detecting dental feature indictors with associated confidence levels by analyzing the dental signals, aggregating the dental feature indictors to compute a multi-dimensional feature vector, and determining whether to append the multi-dimensional feature vector to the block chain.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method of managing dental records using a blockchain, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a dental device, one or more signals associated with a dental activity being performed by the dental device; detecting dental feature indictors with associated confidence levels by analyzing the dental signals; aggregating the dental feature indictors to compute a multi-dimensional feature vector; and determining whether to append the multi-dimensional feature vector to the blockchain.

  • 7. An apparatus for managing dental records using a blockchain, comprising: a distributed repository to securely store and maintain dental records; a risk assessor that analyzes event streams and historical block identifiers to characterize a patient's dental condition and context, and determine a risk to the patient's teeth; a content analyzer that analyzes documents, a patient's age, overall health, and number of remaining real teeth to determine what content to append to the distributed repository; and a transaction composer that uses the event streams and analysis results and prepares content to be appended to the distributed repository and appends the content to the distributed repository.

  • 12. A non-transitory program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the computer to perform the method steps for managing dental records using a blockchain, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a dental device, one or more signals associated with a dental activity being performed by the dental device; detecting dental feature indictors with associated confidence levels by analyzing the dental signals; aggregating the dental feature indictors to compute a multi-dimensional feature vector; and determining whether to append the multi-dimensional feature vector to the blockchain.
