Abstract
Systems and methods for vital sign monitors are disclosed herein. In some cases, a warning score is calculated based on first measurements of a first biological condition and second measurements of a second biological condition. In particular cases, the first measurements and the second measurements are automatically measured during the same time period. The warning score may be calculated based on an average of the first measurements and an average of the second measurements. Based on determining that the warning score is outside of a predetermined range, a clinical device may output an alert.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from at least one sensor, first measurements of a biological condition of an individual determined during a first time period;
- determining a first average of the first measurements;
- receiving, from the at least one sensor, second measurements of the biological condition of the individual determined during a second time period, the second time period at least partially occurring 24 hours after the first time period and being shorter than the first time period;
- determining a second average of the second measurements;
- determining a circadian offset based on a difference between the first average and the second average;
- determining whether the circadian offset is outside of a predetermined range;
- and
- based on determining that the circadian offset is outside of the predetermined range, causing a clinical device to output an alert associated with the individual.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from at least one sensor, first measurements of a biological condition of an individual determined during a first time period;
- determining a first average of the first measurements;
- receiving, from the at least one sensor, second measurements of the biological condition of the individual determined during a second time period,
- at least part of the second time period occurring 24 hours after the first time period, and
- the second time period being shorter than the first time period;
- determining a second average of the second measurements;
- determining a circadian offset based on a difference between the first average and the second average;
- determining whether the circadian offset is outside of a predetermined range;
- and
- based on determining that the circadian offset is outside of the predetermined range, causing a clinical device to output an alert associated with the individual.
