DIAGNOSTICIAN CUSTOMIZED MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS USING A DIGITAL LIBRARY

摘要

The Customized Medical Diagnostic Apparatus operates under the control of a physician to implement a patient-specific instance of the apparatus by identifying medical information sources, retrieved from a Digital Library, which correlate to anomalies identified in a set of patient medical data relating to an identified patient or identified class of patient. The system includes a Digital Library for providing access to a plurality of information sources which relate to interpreting patient medical data and possible ailments associated with the patient medical data. A data characterization module calculates control variations of a set of patient medical data to identify anomalies. Based upon this statistical analysis, a Digital Library interface module searches the Digital Library for information sources relating to the set of patient medical data and interpretations of the identified anomalies.
