Automated Clinical Data Completeness Verification for Implantable Blood Pumps

The patent uses copying by maintaining a separate metadata structure that mirrors the expected data organization. Instead of complex real-time verification during extraction, the system creates a copy of the expected data inventory (patient data, event data, waveform data, etc.) and compares it with the actual extracted data. This metadata copying approach simplifies the verification mechanism while ensuring reliability.

The patent introduces an intermediary metadata layer that mediates between the raw clinical data and the verification process. The metadata contains pre-calculated counts and expected volumes for different data types, serving as an intermediary reference that simplifies the comparison process. This intermediary structure eliminates the need for complex direct verification of raw data while maintaining high reliability.

The system performs preliminary calculation of expected data volumes during the data logging phase, storing this metadata for later verification. This preliminary action allows the verification process to simply compare pre-calculated values with actual transmitted data, avoiding the need for computationally intensive real-time analysis during data extraction.

Instead of verifying every single data point during extraction, the system performs a partial verification by checking the aggregate metadata (total patient count, event count, waveform count, expected data volume). This partial verification approach provides sufficient confidence in data completeness while consuming minimal computational resources.
