Abstract
Implementations described herein disclose a method of determining how well predictions of an impending hypoxia are reported in real-time, so that a user has higher confidence in the reported predictions. Specifically, the method of predicting oxygen level desaturation disclosed herein includes generating an input sequence of oxygen levels based on an input signal sequence, the input signals indicative of a physiological condition of a patient, generating an input feature sequence based on at least one of the input signal sequence and the input sequence of oxygen levels, generating, using a neural network, a predicted value sequence of the oxygen levels based on the input feature sequence, comparing the predicted value sequence of the oxygen levels with the input sequence of oxygen levels for a predetermined temporal window to generate a predicted sequence confidence value, and generating, in response to determining that the predicted sequence confidence value is above a threshold confidence value, an oxygen level desaturation prediction based on the predicted value sequence.
