Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 10:
11. In a computing environment, a method performed at least in part on at least one processor, the method comprising:
comparing an input sequence of oxygen saturation levels to a desaturation alarm threshold to determine a desaturation event, wherein the input sequence of oxygen saturation levels is generated based on an input signal sequences indicative of a physiological condition of a patient;
generating an input feature matrix based on at least one of the input signal sequences and the input sequence of oxygen saturation levels;
inputting the input feature matrix to a neural network;
classifying, based on the input feature matrix and using a neural network, the desaturation event being a severe desaturation event (SDE) or a non-severe desaturation event (non-SDE); and
adjusting an alarm delay in response to classifying the desaturation event being an SDE or a non-SDE.
