Claim 16:
17. A system comprising:
means for receiving first and second physiologic information of a patient, the first physiologic information comprising respiration rate information of the patient, and the second physiologic information comprising temperature information of the patient different than the first physiologic information; and
means for determining a relative change in the respiration rate information of the patient over a first time period;
means for determining, in response to the determined relative change in the respiration rate information over the first time period exceeding a first threshold, a change in the temperature information of the patient over a second time period different than the first time period;
means for determining an indication of patient viral-respiratory disease as a function of the determined change in the temperature information of the patient over the second time period in response to the determined relative change in the respiration rate information over the first time period exceeding the first threshold; and
means for providing, in response to the determined indication of the patient viral-respiratory disease exceeding a second threshold, a viral-respiratory alert to a user or process to change a mode of a component of the system or to trigger or adjust patient follow-up scheduling.
