A system for detecting clinical deterioration in a patient having a health condition during one or more post-discharge patient follow-up periods is provided. The system includes a computer system that has one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions which, when executed cause the computer system to: determine a clinical deterioration risk detection model for each of the post-discharge patient follow-up periods, and determine a clinical deterioration risk detection value for the patient in the post-discharge patient follow-up period using the corresponding clinical deterioration risk detection model. The clinical deterioration risk detection model is a function of health information of the patient in the corresponding post-discharge patient follow-up period. The clinical deterioration risk detection value is configured to predict the likelihood of the clinical deterioration in the patient in the post-discharge patient follow-up period.

In a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) service, activation of a wearable call device by a PERS client causes a speakerphone console to connect with a PERS call center to enable the PERS client to converse with a call center operator while a PERS client profile is retrieved from a PERS database and displayed on a display component at the PERS call center. From the profile, values of a set of features are generated for the PERS client. An emergency dispatch risk prediction or other risk prediction is computed over a future time horizon for the PERS client based on the generated values of the set of features, and is displayed on the display component. The risk prediction may be wirelessly sent to a mobile device for display on the mobile device.

A threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition is determined based on historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition. The historical information may include values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients, and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients. The threshold value or range of values for results of the test is determined from the historical information, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost effective treatment level for a given test result.

System and method for determining thresholds or a range of values used to allocate patients to a treatment level of a treatment program

There is provided a computer-implemented method and apparatus for determining a likelihood of occurrence of a medical event for a subject. A risk profile for the subject is acquired and a plurality of risk profiles for other subjects are obtained from a database. The acquired subject risk profile is compared to the obtained plurality of other subject risk profiles. At least one risk profile is selected from the obtained plurality of other subject risk profiles that most closely matches the acquired subject risk profile. The likelihood of occurrence of a medical event for the subject is determined based on the selected at least one risk profile. A signal indicative of the determined likelihood of occurrence of the medical event for the subject is output.

System and method for interpreting patient risk score using the risk scores and medical events from existing and matching patients

A system, method and tangible computer readable storage medium for storing a computer-implemented guideline, wherein the computer-implemented guideline includes a plurality of device independent nodes, determining a current state of the computer-implemented guideline, wherein the current state relates to one of the device independent nodes, retrieving device features relating to a device on which the one of the device independent nodes of the computer-implemented guideline is to be performed, modifying the one of the device independent nodes based on the device features to generate a device specific node and instantiating the device specific node on the device.

In a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) service, activation of a wearable call device () by a PERS client causes a speakerphone console () to connect with a PERS call center () to enable the PERS client to converse with a call center operator while a PERS client profile is retrieved from a PERS database () and displayed on a display component () at the PERS call center. From the profile, values of a set of features are generated for the PERS client. An emergency dispatch risk prediction or other risk prediction is computed over a future time horizon for the PERS client based on the generated values of the set of features, and is displayed on the display component. The risk prediction may be wirelessly sent to a mobile device () for display on the mobile device.

A device having a sensor detecting patient physiological data, a detection element detecting whether a medical professional is present in a patient's room and a display. If a medical professional is present in the patient's room, the display displays a first display mode, the first display mode including the patient physiological data. If a medical professional is not present in the patient's room, the display displays a second display mode, the second display mode being adapted for viewing by lay viewers.

Techniques are presented for selecting one or more items from a collection of items. To select the one or more items, an interface is provided that is adapted to allow a user to define one or more weights. Each weight corresponds to one of a number of similarity criteria. Each item also corresponds to the number of similarity criteria. The one or more weights define a similarity function. The similarity function is applied to the one or more similarity criteria corresponding to the one or more weights and to each of the items in order to select one or more items from the collection of items. The interface can comprise movable markers corresponding to similarity criteria. Locations of the movable markers can be used to weight similarity criteria when creating the similarity function.

A method and apparatus for processing audio for playback to provide a smooth transition between a beginning region of an audio track and an end region of a previous audio track is disclosed. A quantity representative of a chromagram is calculated for each of the audio tracks and the mixing points for the beginning and end regions of each audio track are identified. A quantity representative of a chromagram at the mixing point of the beginning region of the audio track and a quantity representative of a chromagram at the mixing point of the end region of the previous audio track are correlated to determine an order of audio tracks for playback and/or to determine the duration of the mix transition.

A method and apparatus for automatically generating a target sequence of a plurality of elements selected in accordance with a plurality of user-defined constraints such as a play list of songs. The apparatus comprises a user interface () for inputting a plurality of user-defined constraints, a storage device () for storing a plurality of elements or music files; and a processor () for automatically generating the target sequence or play list by an iterative process in which a solution sequence is found at each iteration to best fit the user-defined constraints. A small, random or biased change is made to the sequence found and if this improves the solution, the new solution is used for the next iteration. The biased change is used to help predict a better result for user-defined constraints which are, ordinarily, difficult to satisfy.
