Patent for Automated Generation of Medical Training Data for AI Clinical Reporting
Summary
USPTO granted patent US12603176B2 to SMART REPORTING GMBH on April 14, 2026. The patent covers a computer-implemented method for generating medical training data for AI algorithms supporting clinical reporting and documentation. The method involves receiving medical image data, generating findings reports with machine-readable elements, automatically assigning semantic content to unique identifiers, annotating medical images by linking image data elements to identifiers, and storing annotated data as AI training data.
What changed
USPTO granted patent US12603176B2 to SMART REPORTING GMBH, inventors Wieland Sommer and Sigrid Auweter, for a computer-implemented method of generating medical training data for AI algorithms. The method involves receiving medical image data comprising data elements, generating or editing medical findings reports with machine-readable findings-report elements containing semantic features, automatically assigning the contents of findings-report elements to unique identifiers representing individual medical findings, annotating medical images by linking image data elements to identifiers, and storing annotated data as training data for AI algorithms.
Patent grants create intellectual property rights that exclude others from making, using, or selling the claimed invention without authorization. Organizations developing AI systems for clinical reporting and documentation should review the patent's claims to assess potential licensing needs. Medical AI developers and healthcare technology companies may need to consider this IP portfolio when designing clinical documentation systems.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer-system and computer-program product for generating medical training data for training artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms for supporting clinical reporting and documentation are described. To generate the training data medical image data of a patient comprising medical image data elements are received and a medical findings report is generated, edited and/or received that summarizes individual medical findings. It comprises machine-readable findings-report elements the contents of which comprise semantic features. The contents of the findings report elements are automatically assigned to unique identifiers, wherein each identifier uniquely represents the medical semantic content of exactly one individual medical finding. The medical image data are annotated by linking one or more medical image data elements to the unique identifiers of one or more contents of the findings-report elements, and the annotated received medical image data are stored as training data for AI algorithms for supporting clinical reporting and documentation.
