LATEST PRIOR ART
DISCUSSION

The prior art 20040122702 is a co-pending application of US20040122709 submitted earlier on this forum (please note the prior art #121). '702 has the same inventors, same filing date, and substantially similar description as that of ‘709. In general, I agree that all the family members/co-pending applications with similar description would qualify as prior art for this case. Please note that only 10 references will be reviewed by the USPTO examiner(s) and therefore, we should submit unique (unrelated) references for each case.Tim Davies (4 months ago)
This may also limit the right of a doctor, if the doctor were to use any subcomponents of the nural net or ai system defined by this application. It would all but eliminate the use of ai in medicine for diagnosis.
In addition almost all automated diagnostic tests could become part of such a system and as such be limited

There exist a plethora of seach-related patents, and search in a medical context is not inherently different from search in many other contexts. I appended three fairly recent patents in the same general area, and there are many more. Claims such as using a patient ID as a search argument in looking for patient data can hardly be novel, nor is searching multiple remote databases. Although something novel and non-obvious may be represented in this application, it does not jump out of the writeup. Mapping "evidence" to some diagnosis or clinical recommendation is challenging, but not well described and perhaps not part of the claims.
