Abstract

Techniques for determining a likeliness that a patient may incur an adverse health event are described. An example technique may include utilizing a probability model that uses as evidence nodes various diagnostic states of physiological parameters, which may include one or more subcutaneous impedance parameters. The probability model may include a Bayesian Network that determines a posterior probability of the adverse health event occurring within a predetermined period of time.
