Patent ID: 7959574

Claim:
A system for analyzing a patient status for respiratory insufficiency for use in automated care, comprising a server system receiving a set of one or more physiological measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis or derived therefrom, the server system further receiving one or more baseline physiological measures relating to patient information recorded during an initial time period or derived therefrom; a database module storing the physiological measures into a patient care record for an individual patient into a database, the database module further storing the baseline physiological measures into the patient care record for the individual patient into the database; an analyzer analyzing one or more of the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to one or more other physiological measures to determine a patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency, the analyzer analyzing the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to the baseline physiological measures to determine a further patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency; wherein the further patient status is selected to indicate a progression that is trending into a state of likely respiratory insufficiency.
