The present disclosure relates to a method and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for using prediction models for predicting values, the medium comprising instructions for receiving a plurality of entry identifiers, instructions for receiving a value for each of the plurality of entry identifiers, instructions for determining whether the value for each of the plurality of entry identifiers has changed and a magnitude of the change, instructions for building a model for predicting a time-to-value change, instructions for building a model for predicting a future magnitude of change, instructions for performing a simulation using the model for predicting the time-to-value change and the model for predicting the future magnitude of change and instructions for outputting a confidence interval.

System and method for providing prediction models for predicting changes to placeholder values

There is provided a method and apparatus for adjusting a monitoring system which is arranged to receive measured values of a physiological characteristic of a subject and to generate an alarm when the received measured values meet at least one predefined alarm generation criterion. The method comprises obtaining data relating to a hospitalization of the subject, the data comprising a time of the hospitalization; obtaining a plurality of measured values of the physiological characteristic measured during a measurement period preceding the time of the hospitalization or a measurement period preceding and including the time of the hospitalization; defining a detection window as a time period ending with the time of the hospitalization and having a predetermined duration; determining whether the monitoring system would generate an alarm during the detection window based on applying the at least one predefined alarm generation criterion to the obtained plurality of measured values; and if the monitoring system would not generate an alarm during the detection window, altering the at least one predefined alarm generation criterion such that the time at which the monitoring system would generate an alarm based on applying the altered predefined alarm generation criterion to the obtained plurality of measured values is within the detection window.

Method and apparatus for adjusting a monitoring system

A device and method for bioimpedance spectrography corrects for breathing artifacts. A breathing signal is used in conjunction with an impedance signal to adjust for a point in time within a respiratory cycle of a user at which the measurements are made. The correction allows the device to characterize tissue parameters accurately with fewer measurement points.

Bioimpedance spectrography system and method

There is provided a method for estimating the volume of fluid in part of the body of a subject, the method comprising obtaining a measurement of the circumference, c, of the part of the body of the subject; obtaining a measurement of the impedance of the part of the body of the subject using electrodes attached across the part of the body of the subject; and estimating the volume of fluid in the part of the body of the subject from the measurement of impedance and the measurement of the circumference c. An apparatus comprising a control unit configured to perform the method is also provided.
