Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system (300) for detecting subsurface objects within a confined sea area. The system comprises one or more surface vessels (301) and at least one control unit (302). Each surface vessel (301) comprises positioning means and is arranged to gather bathymetry measurements during controlled motion in a path within the confined sea area and to transmit the bathymetry measurements to the at least one control unit (302). The control unit (302) is arranged to receive bathymetry measurements from the one or more surface vessels (301). Each surface vessel (301) is unmanned and arranged to operate in an autonomous or remotely controlled state when gathering bathymetry measurements. The control unit (302) is arranged to retrieve bathymetry data representing said path from a memory in the control unit.

Abstract: A clinical decision support system and method for improving treatment of a medical condition includes determining a current best practice treatment for the medical condition, deriving a perturbed variation of the current best practice treatment, identifying a plurality of new treatment outcomes resulting from treatment of a plurality of patients via the perturbed variation of the current best practice treatment, and deriving a new best practice treatment based on the plurality of new treatment outcomes. The perturbed variation of the current best practice may be small enough so as not to require patient consent, or may be sufficiently large so as to require patient consent.
