  • Publication number: 20100168533
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system for generating a quantitative measure reflecting the severity of a medical condition. A receiver unit receives biosignal data collected from a population of patients having varying degrees of the medical condition. A processor uses the biosignal data for determining reference feature values for each respective patient within the population, where the determining being made in accordance to a pre-defined set of reference features. The processor then assigns each respective patient within the population of patients with a reference feature vector having as vector elements the reference feature values associated with the patient. The processor also uses the reference feature vectors of the patients as input in determining combinations of features describing the variance in the data, where the size of the combinations is an indicator for the severity of the medical condition.

  • Publication number: 20090220429
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system for generating a discriminatory signal for a neurological condition, where at least one probe compound that has a neurophysiologic effect is provided. Biosignal data are obtained from a subject based on biosignal measurements obtained from biosignal measuring device adapted for placement on a subject, wherein said biosignal data are obtained posterior to the administering of said probe compound to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20090054740
    Abstract: This invention relates to constructing a reference tool and using the reference tool for distinguishing between a medical condition of a subject and a reference subject. This tool may be considered as a reference “map” consisting of one or several numbers of reference groups, where the subjects within the same groups share one or more common characteristics, e.g. age, sex, medical condition, etc. The present invention therefore relates to seeing whether a subject to be diagnosed falls within one or more of said groups simply by comparing processed biological data collected from the subject with the reference “map”.
