Data structures for storing and manipulating longitudinal data and corresponding novel computer engines and methods of use thereof

Abstract

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for an exemplary computer-implemented system that may include a longitudinal data engine, including: a processor and specialized index generation software to generate: an index data structure for a respective event type associated with each respective subject or object; where each respective index data structure is a respective event type-specific data schema, defining how to store events of a particular event type to form longitudinal data of each respective subject or object; an ontology data structure that is configured to describe one or more properties of a respective event of a respective subject or object; and longitudinal data extraction software to extract a respective longitudinal data for a plurality of index data structures and a plurality of ontology data structures associated with a plurality of subjects or objects.

What we claim is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 at least one longitudinal data engine, comprising:
 at least one processor; 
 specialized index generation software;
 wherein, when executing the specialized index generation software, the at least one processor at least generates:
 i) at least one index data structure for a respective event type associated with each respective subject or object; 
 ii) at least one ontology data structure that is configured to describe one or more properties of a respective event of a respective subject or object; and 
 
 
 longitudinal data extraction software;
 wherein, when executing the longitudinal data extraction software, the at least one processor extract a respective longitudinal data for a plurality of index data structures and a plurality of ontology data structures associated with a plurality of subjects or objects.
