  • Patent number: 11410777
    Abstract: This disclosure includes various embodiments of apparatuses, systems and methods for evaluating a patient's cardiac risk and/or mental status. Cardiac risk evaluation may be based (e.g., only) on the patient's respiratory rate, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, age, and/or mental status. An aggregate score, which is indicative likelihood of the patient's cardiac risk, may be calculated based (e.g., only) on the patient's respiratory rate, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, age, and/or mental status. If the calculated aggregate score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the patient may be identified as having a critical cardiac risk, and actions may be taken to treat the patient. The cardiac risk evaluation may be based further on the patient's mental status, where the patient's mental status may be evaluated based on a game with visual indicators.
