Healthcare informatics
The present section relates to healthcare informatics applicable to detect, handle, manage, analyse, treat or protect against coronaviruses in general and SARS-CoV-2 in particular. Healthcare informatics cover Information and Communication Technology (ICT) - also known as digital technologies - specifically adapted for the handling or processing of medical or healthcare data (CPC, IPC subclass G16H).
The following queries combine IPC and CPC groups of G16H (former G06F19/30) with keywords. Healthcare informatics covers digital technology solutions in the healthcare and medical domain which are helpful for or applicable to a plurality of diseases and viruses, therefore several of the queries are not limited to SARS-CoV-2.
Queries covering digital technology solutions combining IPC and CPC groups other than G16H can be found under Technologies for the new normal - Digital technologies.
- Healthcare ICT about managing infected patient cohorts and preventing disease spread
This search concept covers digital technologies for managing infected patient cohorts and for preventing disease spread. The query has not been limited to a particular disease since strategies of containment and isolation may be independent of the type of disease. - Healthcare ICT about tracking, and identifying the spread of SARS-like diseases
This search concept is directed towards healthcare management systems aimed at monitoring, tracking and measuring the spread of disease in populations. - Healthcare ICT about estimating the spread of SARS-like diseases
This query concerns the forecasting, predicting and simulating the spread of disease in populations. - Healthcare ICT for managing and verifying sanitization and disinfection
This query covers digital technologies for managing, controlling, overseeing and compliance-verification of sanitization and disinfection. The query has not been limited to a particular disease since the concepts are generally applicable independent of the type of disease. - Healthcare ICT about high risk groups and severe courses of SARS-like diseases
This concept relates to digital technologies for identifying and handling high risks groups and severe courses of SARS-like diseases in patients. - Healthcare ICT for diagnosing and identifying SARS-like diseases and infections
This set of documents relates to digital technologies for diagnosing and identifying SARS-like diseases and infected individuals. - Healthcare ICT for estimating the progression of SARS-like diseases
This search statement covers digital technologies that allow predictions relating to the progression of the disease symptomatic in patients. - Healthcare ICT for identifying protective measures against diseases
This search concept covers digital technologies for identifying protective measures to reduce the number of further infections. This query has not been limited to a particular disease as known digital methods may be universally applicable also to novel types of diseases. - Healthcare ICT for estimating the likelihood of repeated infections
This search query relates to digital technologies for estimating the likelihood of repeated infections with the same disease. This query has not been limited to a particular disease as known digital methods may be universally applicable also to novel types of diseases. - Healthcare ICT for identifying drug candidates likely for SARS-like diseases
The following search concept relates to digital technologies for identifying drug candidates to assist in the cure of SARS-like diseases. - Healthcare ICT for identifying treatment candidates likely for SARS-like diseases
This search statement concerns digital technologies for identifying possible candidates to assist in the treatment of SARS-like diseases. - Healthcare ICT for mass screening infections
This query relates to digital technologies for population-level screening for infection hotspots. This query has not been limited to a particular disease since screening strategies at this level may be independent of the specific type of disease. - Healthcare ICT for mass testing for infections
This query relates to digital technologies for population-level testing for infection hotspots. This query has not been limited to a particular disease since testing strategies at this level may be independent of the specific type of disease. - Healthcare ICT explicitly related to coronaviruses or SARS-like diseases
This search statement covers digital technologies for handling or processing medical or healthcare data and explicitly related to coronaviruses and SARS-like diseases.
Patent analytics gives a deeper dive into the patent landscape. Our patent analysts have created a spreadsheet containing all the search strategies and datasets for patents for healthcare informatics as well as additional statistics in one place for you to download. You can also run the search strategies on your own platform or analyse the datasets yourself. If you are not familiar with how to write or adapt search strategies, our Espacenet pocket guide will help.
