ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the modelling and design of early warning systems for detecting medical conditions using physiological responses. The device comprises sensors for monitoring physiological parameters such as skin impedance, heart rate, and QT interval of a patient, means for establishing when those parameters change, the rate of change of the parameters, and a neural network processor for processing the information obtained by the sensors. The neural network processor is programmed with a fast learning algorithm. When the neural network establishes that a physiological condition is present in the patient an alarm signal will be generated. The invention extends to a method of non-invasive monitoring of a person using a neural network programmed with a fast learning algorithm. A non-invasive hypoglycaemia monitor is specifically described.
