Infusion Device

Method for determining a multimodal (patient) condition, characterized in that

• a) a current (patient) state consisting of data from at least two unimodal state indicators Xk with k=1;
• . . . ;
• n and n≥2 is measured or calculated;
• b) a historical (population) data set with data from at least two state indicators Xk and at least one reference indicator X0 exists;
• c) there is a correlation between the at least two state indicators on the one hand and the at least one reference indicator on the other;
• d) the at least two state indicators Xk and the at least one reference indicator X0 span an orthogonal state space;
• e) Regression functions can be calculated in the state space with the historical (population) data set, which contain at least one reference indicator X0 as an independent variable;
• f) and at least one current, n-modal (n≥2) expectation value μnM of the currently unknown, effective reference value on at least one reference axis X0 of the state space is calculated for a current (patient) state using the regression functions.
