Abstract
A method and system for determining an indicator for a subject that is responsive to changes in a relative cognitive capability of that subject. At least two separate machine-learning algorithms are used to generate a respective number of intermediate indicators based on one or more outputs of one or more sensors monitoring the subject. The intermediate indicators are subsequently processed to thereby generate an indicator of a relative cognitive capability of the subject.
Claims15
A method of generating an output indicator of a relative cognitive capability of a monitored subject, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one output from at least one sensor monitoring a subject and/or the subject's environment;
- processing the at least one output using a first machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a first intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- processing the at least one output using a second, different machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a second, different intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- and
- processing the first and second intermediate indicators to thereby generate an output indicator of the subject's relative cognitive capability.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- obtain at least one output from at least one sensor monitoring a subject and/or the subject's environment;
- process the at least one output using a first machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a first intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- process the at least one output using a second, different machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a second, different intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- and
- process the first and second intermediate indicators to thereby generate an output indicator of the subject's relative cognitive capability.
A system for determining a relative cognitive capability of a monitored subject, the system comprising:
- an input interface adapted to obtain at least one output from at least one sensor monitoring a subject and/or the subject's environment;
- a processing system adapted to:
- process the at least one output using a first machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a first intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- process the at least one output using a second, different machine-learning algorithm, to thereby generate a second, different intermediate indicator of either a factor able to impair a subject's relative cognitive capability or a characteristic affected by impairments to a subject's relative cognitive capability;
- process the first and second intermediate indicators to thereby generate an output indicator of the subject's relative cognitive capability
