Patent ID: 8092382

Claim:
An analysis system for providing an index disorder for use in automated patient care, comprising: a server comprising: a database configured to store a set of device measures regularly recorded by a medical device for a patient under automated patient care; a set of reference baseline measures recorded during an initial observation period; and indicator thresholds corresponding to quantifiable physiological measures of pathophysiologies; and a diagnostic module configured to retrieve the device measures and the reference baseline measures from the database, comprising: a comparison module configured to iteratively process the device measures and the reference baseline measures with the indicator thresholds and configured to identify multiple near-simultaneous disorders from said iterative process, wherein each iterative loop of the iterative process comprises analyzing the device measures and the reference baseline measures for changes occurring over time; and an analysis module configured to analyze and order the changes and the multiple-near simultaneous disorders occurring over time and to identify the index disorder based on said analysis modules analyzing and ordering.
