Disclosed are probabilistic approaches to patient evaluation, warning and treatment of a neurological disorder. Disclosed techniques estimate probability distribution functions or cumulative distribution functions, determined by relying on representative historical profiles, comprising information in short and/or long timescales obtained at times that may be intermittent or temporally discontinuous from each other or from other events of interest. The patient may thereby be treated based on the determined probability information.

A patient evaluation method is disclosed in which non-standard input data is corrected in a syntax processing block with reference to a healthcare lexicon and a resulting corrected data file is thereafter used to reference an ontology in an ontology processing block to generate a standardized output.

The invention is of a stethoscope cleansing unit and of the use of the stethoscope cleansing unit as a novel business method for promoting a marketer's logo and advertisement to medical personnel and patients in the examining room or hospital. The system attaches such advertisements to a useful and conveniently used stethoscope cleansing unit that will be used by medical personnel to sterilize stethoscope diaphragms between patient assessments, thereby preventing the spread of infectious diseases. This apparatus can be utilized in a novel business method as a way for marketers to distinguish their product from the myriad of others by 1) attracting the attention of busy medical personnel during patient examinations, which is the exact time that medical product marketers would benefit most from such attention; and by 2) attracting the attention of the patient through its presence in the examining room at a time when the patient is typically waiting for attention and has time to notice such advertisements.

Systems and methods for automated triage and scheduling in an emergency department are described. An example computer-implemented method of automatically triaging and scheduling patients in an emergency department includes associating a patient with an identification bracelet and processing the patient using a patient evaluation device.

A video game-based medical simulation is provided. Disclosed embodiments pertain to mass-casualty simulation for burn disaster training. Game-play exercises direct a player through a mass-casualty event where triage management and patient assessment are tested, and then follow the player to a Burn Center where resuscitation through patient monitoring, reassessment, and managing are tested for the critical hours/days of recovery. Complication loops are included in the game system to provide random application of variation in patient response. The complication loops can insert semi-randomness of critical complication occurrences into the game such that patient simulation may vary each time the game is played.

The invention discloses a diabetic patient assessment and management system. The system comprises a patient information collection module, a regression model establishment module, a data processing module, a regression coefficient calculation module, a risk grade assessment module and a follow-up visit setting module. According to the system, risk factors leading to the complication of a patient are found out through Logistic regression analysis, the risk factors are assigned with corresponding scores according to the risk degrees of the risk factors, the symptom of the patient is objectively scored through accumulation of the risk factors, and the degree of the complication risk is judged according to the score accumulation condition, wherein the score changes dynamically along with the change of the patient's condition. Meanwhile, as all data is stored in an internet server, as long as a computer capable of having access to networks is available, a doctor can complete the function anywhere by accessing a website with accessing software.

A system generates criteria associating subjective narrative text describing a treatment outcome with acquired patient medical data and linking a narrative treatment outcome description to documented data during patient assessment documentation. A patient healthcare monitoring system includes an acquisition processor for automatically acquiring data representing outcomes of multiple corresponding assessments of medical condition of a patient. A data processor automatically evaluates a logical expression comprising a logical combination of the multiple corresponding assessments to provide an overall outcome representative result and compares the overall outcome representative result with a predetermined treatment objective of the patient to provide a result indicative of whether the treatment objective is met. A documentation processor updates a record of the patient to indicate the objective is met.

A method and system employed by emergency responders to an emergency incident in the management of individuals injured in emergency incidents. An injured patient is tagged with a triage tag that has a bar code and an RFID inlay that identify the patient. At least one of the bar code and RFID inlay are scanned by a portable optical/electronic unit. As the patient is moved through various zones in which the condition of the patient is evaluated and, if necessary, the condition of the patient is treated, patient evaluation data is recorded in the in the portable optical/electronic unit and a command computer in association with patient identification data.
