Abstract
Presented are concepts for matching a subject to one or more resources or workflow steps. Once such concept comprises obtaining data associated with a subject, the data comprising, for each of a plurality of parameters, a parameter value relating to the subject. A plurality of data groups for characterising the subject is then generated and a classification process is applied to each data group so as to generate a classification result for each data group. The subject is then matched to one or more resources or workflow steps based on the classification results.

A computer-implemented method for matching a subject to one or more resources or workflow steps, the method comprising:
- obtaining data associated with a subject, the data comprising, for each of a plurality of parameters, a parameter value relating to the subject;
- generating a plurality of data groups for characterizing the subject, each data group comprising parameter values relating to the subject for a subset of the plurality of parameters;
- applying a classification process to each data group of the plurality of data groups to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range of available values for each data group;
- matching the subject to one or more resources or workflow steps based on the identified class values;
- and
- based on the identified class values, generating:
- a workflow for defining timing of resource usage;
- subject-specific instructions associated with one or more resources;
- and a sequence for defining an order of resource usage, wherein applying a classification process to each data group comprises, for each data group:
- determining a measure of population of the data group;
- and, based on the determined measure of population of the data group, applying at least one of a plurality of classification processes to the data group to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range available for the data group.
A system for matching a subject to one or more resources or workflow steps, the system comprising:
- an input interface adapted to obtain data associated with a subject, the data comprising, for each of a plurality of parameters, a parameter value relating to the subject;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores instructions, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to:
- generate a plurality of data groups for characterising the subject, each data group comprising parameter values relating to the subject for a subset of the plurality of parameters;
- apply a classification process to each data group of the plurality of data groups to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range of available values for each data group;
- for each data group, determine a measure of population of the data group;
- and, based on the determined measure of population of the data group, apply at least one of a plurality of classification processes to the data group to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range available for the data group;
- match the subject to one or more resources or workflow steps based on the identified class values;
- and
- based on the identified class values, generate:
- a workflow for defining timing of resource usage;
- subject-specific instructions associated with one or more resources;
- and a sequence for defining an order of resource usage.
A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- obtain data associated with a subject, the data comprising, for each of a plurality of parameters, a parameter value relating to the subject;
- generate a plurality of data groups for characterizing the subject, each data group comprising parameter values relating to the subject for a subset of the plurality of parameters;
- apply a classification process to each data group of the plurality of data groups to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range of available values for each data group;
- match the subject to one or more resources or workflow steps based on the identified class values;
- and
- based on the identified class values, generate:
- a workflow for defining timing of resource usage;
- subject-specific instructions associated with one or more resources;
- and a sequence for defining an order of resource usage;
- wherein the application of the classification process to each data group comprises, for each data group causes the processor to:
- determine a measure of population of the data group;
- and, based on the determined measure of population of the data group, apply at least one of a plurality of classification processes to the data group to identify a class value within a predetermined set or range available for the data group.
