  • Publication number: 20090187082
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the cause of a trend shift in physiological data received from a patient under observation includes receiving physiological data on a plurality of measured physiological parameters from the patient and performing a statistical analysis on a portion of the physiological data to determine a measured shift over a confidence interval in each of the plurality of physiological parameters. A signature shift is defined for each of the plurality of physiological parameters that is indicative of a pre-determined medical condition and the measured shift confidence interval of each of the plurality of physiological parameters is compared to these signature shifts. From this comparison between the measured shift confidence interval and the signature shift of each of the plurality of physiological parameters, a physiological assessment is formulated.

  • Publication number: 20090088606
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a reference baseline of a patient and measuring trend shifts in physiological data to generate alerts acquires and receives physiological data from a patient under observation. Initial physiological data is received during a lock-in period and monitored physiological data is received during a diagnosis period. Shifts in the physiological data are measured by comparing the monitored physiological data to the initial physiological data. An alert is generated for shifts that exceed at least one of a pre-determined size and rate (i.e., a “threshold value”).

  • Publication number: 20080242943
    Abstract: A system of patient health condition monitoring includes a device configured to measure a health parameter of a patient and a computer. The computer is programmed to receive an input based on the measured health parameter, determine a first moving average value for a first period of time based on the measured health parameter and determine a second moving average value for a second period of time based on the measured health parameter, the second period of time different than the first period of time. The computer is further programmed to calculate a difference between the first and second moving average values and store the difference in computer memory.

  • Patent number: 7184844
    Abstract: There is provided a central site system for communicating with at least one remote site equipment monitor, the at least one remote site equipment monitor collecting operational data concerning remote site equipment. The central site system includes a data transfer system adapted for receiving the operational data from the at least one remote site equipment monitor. The central site system also includes an operational data access system which receives the operational data from the data transfer system and stores the operational data in a data storage unit of the operational data access system. The central site system also includes a notification distribution system which receives data based on the operational data and distributes the data based on the operational data to a destination according to a predefined schedule.
