Abstract: A method (10) for forming novel signatures of biological data is provided. The method comprises ranking features based on a trend value, which is created based on multiple signatures identified by a pattern discovery method. Furthermore, a device (30) and a computer program product (40), performing the steps according to the method (10) is provided. Uses of the method, for statistically analyzing clinical data, designing assays based on multiple molecular signatures and interpreting assays based on multiple molecular signatures are also provided.

Abstract: A method (10) for clinical decision support by comparison of multiple molecular signatures of biological data is provided. The method comprises comparing at least two of said molecular signatures are different kinds of molecular signatures. Furthermore, a device (70), a system (100), and a computer program product (200) and a use for clinical decision support, performing the steps according to the method (10) is provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining a reliability indicator for at least one set of signatures obtained from clinical data collected from a group of samples. The signatures are obtained by detecting characteristics in the clinical data from the group of sample sand each of the signatures generate a first set of stratification values that stratify the group of samples. At least one additional and parallel stratification source to the signatures obtained from group of sample sis provided, the at least one additional and parallel stratification source to the signatures being independent from the signatures and generates a second set of stratification values. A comparison is done for each respective sample, where the first stratification values are compared with a true reference stratification values, and where the second stratification values are compared with the true reference stratification values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to effective diagnosis of patients and assisting clinicians in treatment planning. In particular, invention provides a medical analysis system that enables refinement of molecular classification. The system provides a molecular profiling solution that will allow improved diagnosis, prognosis, response prediction to provide the right chemotherapy, and follow-up to monitor for cancer recurrence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical apparatus (901, 100) for assisting clinicians, nurses or other users in choosing an intervention for the treatment of a patent suffering from an acute dynamic disease, e.g. sepsis. The medical apparatus is based on a method where a model of the disease is adapted or personalised to the patient. To ensure that the apparatus remains capable of predicting the health of the patient, the apparatus is continuously-provided with new patient values and the model is continuously adapted to the new patient values. Since the medical apparatus is configured to be continuously adapted to current state of health, the apparatus is able to assist the user by generating disease management information, e.g. suggestions for medications, to an output device (902, 104).
