  • Patent number: 8924232
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8494871
    Abstract: A medical apparatus (901, 100) assists 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 personalized to the patient. To ensure that the apparatus remains capable of predicting the health of the patient, the apparatus is continuously provided with new, more recent 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).

  • Patent number: 8448077
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for executing an executable clinical practice guideline for providing guidance in treating a patient. A guideline repository stores a plurality of executable clinical practice guidelines. At least one interface receives clinical context data associated with at least one of the patient and the patient's treatment. A system server, upon receipt of said clinical context data, automatically chooses an appropriate guideline and controls a display to display the guideline at its present level of abstraction, and a visual navigator which defines the current level of abstraction. The level of abstraction is changed via a user input between a higher level of abstraction in which fewer more abstract steps of the guidelines are displayed and a lower level of abstraction in which more, detailed steps are displayed.

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).

  • Publication number: 20090243841
    Abstract: A cognitive monitoring wireless apparatus (10, 10?) includes a cognitive monitor (12) and a cognitive radio (14). The cognitive monitor receives inputs from a plurality of sensors (32-40, 90, 92) and decides based on the sensed inputs which messages should be forwarded. The cognitive radio receives the messages to be forwarded from the cognitive monitor, selects among available communication formats, and wirelessly communicates the messages. The communication parameters include frequency, maximum allowed power, code, and protocol. The apparatus monitors the hardware and software of healthcare equipment and communicates intelligent information about the condition of the equipment.

  • Publication number: 20080195570
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting evidence pertaining to relationships between biomolecules and a disease, or other clinical condition, wherein biomolecules associated with the disease or condition identified, and ontologies relating to the biomolecules, disease or condition, and a predicate relationship therebetween are generated (or input to a processing system). Triplets, subject/predicate/object, for example, biomolecule/relationship/disease, are constructed by processing the ontologies. The triplets are used to search a body of relevant evidence to extract pertinent data from the body of relevant data based on the triplets. The system and method of the invention is used to provide researchers in the field of molecular diagnostics with biological evidence for or against statistical predictions.
