ABSTRACT:
A method for continuously monitoring the medical condition of a patient, the method including the steps of continuously monitoring one or more clinical features of the patient; periodically computing a probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis based upon the continuously monitored one or more clinical features; from the periodically computed probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis, computing a change-of-condition measure; periodically comparing the change-in-condition measure to a threshold value; and if any computed change-in-condition measure exceeds the threshold value, generating an alarm notification.
