Case-dependent disease history prediction in a real-time monitoring system

摘要

A method for providing real-time assistance in the interpretation of medical record data (38) and monitoring parameters (40) obtained via a patient (12) to estimate the patient's possible disease history and history of treatment based on previous patients Monitoring parameters and medical record data. The system includes a monitoring device (16) that retrieves monitoring parameters from the patient and is in communication with a historical reference database (32) that includes a plurality of historical, stored patient records (34). Once the historical reference database receives the monitoring parameters and medical record data for the patient, it identifies one or more historical patient records that closely resemble the currently-treated patient. On the basis of the identified historical medical records, the doctor (14) is presented with a probable disease course and a recommended treatment.
