Title: Haemodynamic monitor with improved filtering
Inventor: Terence Kevin O'Brian
IPC: G06F17/18
Filed: 2016-11-30
Abstract: A method of filtering outliers in a series of e.g. haemodynamic data by populating a window 412, calculating its variability 414, testing if this is above predetermined threshold 416 to determine if an outlier is present, and advancing the window in dependence on outlier presence, e.g. by the window length when the values are regular, so analyzing data quickly. The data might be pulse pressure or stroke volume, obtained from blood pressure, and the threshold may be in the range 5-15%. The variability could be dispersion: the ratio of standard deviation to mean, or alternatively the mean or relative mean difference. An indication may be output of the values or windows which are determined to be or contain outliers, which could be yes/no, R/I or measurement number. The method may be used to determine cardiac cycles which are not outliers, determined to be regular rather than arrhythmic cardiac cycles.
