Abstract
The simultaneous multi access reasoning technology system of the present invention utilizes both existing knowledge and implicit information that can be numerically extracted from training data to provide a method and apparatus for diagnosing disease and treating a patient. This technology further comprises a system for receiving patient data from another location, analyzing the data in a trained neural network, producing a diagnostic value, and optionally transmitting the diagnostic value to another location.
Claims18
A method for training a computer-based neural network to be used in diagnosing or prognosing disease in a patient comprising:
- preprocessing patient biomarkers, comprising:
- selecting patient biomarkers associated with a disease process;
- statistically and/or computationally testing discriminating power for indicating presence or absence of the disease of the selected patient biomarkers individually in linear and/or non-linear combination;
- applying statistical, mathematical, or computational tools, and/or expert knowledge for the derivation of secondary input to the neural network that are linear or non-linear combinations of the original or transformed biomarkers;
- selecting only those patient biomarkers or derived secondary inputs that show discriminating power;
- and
- training the computer-based neural network using the preprocessed patient biomarkers or derived secondary inputs.
