Abstract: A system and method for selecting a set of value-base healthcare measures, including: presenting a ontological hierarchy to a user on a graphical user interface, wherein the ontological hierarchy includes the hierarchical relationship between healthcare measures and value-based healthcare topics; receiving user input indicating a set of topics from the ontological hierarchy; receiving user input indicating value-based optimization parameters; determining a list of healthcare measures based upon the set of topics and optimization parameters; and displaying a list of measures to the user on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system for facilitating configuration modifications for a patient interface computer system based on an equivalent effort parameter. In some embodiments, the system obtains (i) one or more first measurements associated with a first subject, the first subject having a clinical coefficient, (ii) one or more second measurements associated with a second subject. The system determines (i) a first effort parameter based on the one or more first measurements, (ii) a second effort parameter based on the one or more second measurements, and (iii) an equivalent effort factor for the first subject based on the one or more first measurements, the one or more second measurements, and the clinical coefficient. The system causes a configuration of the patient interface computer system to be modified based on the equivalent effort factor.

Abstract: A threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition is determined based on historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition. The historical information may include values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients, and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients. The threshold value or range of values for results of the test is determined from the historical information, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost effective treatment level for a given test result.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a patient dataset including digital medical images and other patient data may be obtained. The other patient data may include specific patient health data associated with a patient and historical patient data derived from a population related to the patient. The historical patient data may indicate medical inventions provided to patients of the related population, health effects of the medical interventions, and costs of the medical interventions. In some embodiments, a neural network specific to the patient may be configured for a user application using at least part of the patient dataset. As an example, the user application may include neural network. Based on the specific patient health data, health effects and intervention costs related to individual interventions for the patient may be predict via the neural network of the user application.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for use in monitoring the baroreceptor reflex in a user, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to process a signal output by a first sensor that is attached to or located proximate to a bed to determine when the user moves from a lying position on the bed to a sitting position, and to provide an indication of the baroreceptor reflex of the user by processing the signal to determine the change in the heart rate of the user that occurs as a result of moving from the lying position to the sitting position.

Abstract: A method for performing patient-specific cost-effectiveness analysis for medical interventions includes retrieving patient data associated with a patient, selecting one or more interventions based on the patient data, estimating at least one of health effects, resource consumption, and intervention costs for each of the selected interventions, calculating the net health benefit for each intervention, and displaying the net health benefit for each intervention.

Abstract: There is provided a system for determining a threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition, the system comprising one or more databases storing historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition, the information including values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, there being a plurality of available treatment levels for the clinical condition, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients; and a processing module in communication with said one or more databases, the processing module determining a threshold value or range of values for results of the test from the information in said one or more databases, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost e
