Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating adaptive control of monitoring devices. In accordance with one aspect, a position detector detects a chest elevation level and provides chest elevation level data. A processor uses the chest elevation level data to determine a heart elevation level with respect to a reference level. A comparator compares the determined heart elevation level with an elevation level of a monitoring device with respect to the reference level. In response to the comparison, a movement system adjusts the elevation level of the monitoring device.

A system configures a medical imaging system using utilization information. The system includes at least one repository storing records indicating usage and an associated time of usage, of particular features of a medical imaging system. A processor coupled to the at least one repository analyzes the records to determine, (a) frequency of usage of particular features of the medical imaging system and (b) a sequence of usage of the particular features of the medical imaging system and provide utilization data, by identifying in the records particular text strings using predetermined information associating predetermined text strings with corresponding features. An adaptation processor uses the utilization data to modify, delete or add a task to a task sequence employing the particular features. A display processor generates data representing at least one display image enabling a user to perform an adapted task sequence.

A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection comprises an input processor and a signal processor. The input processor receives first sampled data representing a first signal portion of a heart activity related signal and second sampled data representing a second signal portion of a heart activity related signal. The signal processor determines distribution data associated with degree of similarity between the first and second signal portions by determining a difference between (a) values derived by applying a first function to mean adjusted sampled values of the first signal portion and (b) values derived by applying a second function to mean adjusted sampled values of the second signal portion. In response to the determined distribution data, the signal processor initiates generation of a message associated with the degree of similarity between the first and second signal portions.
