Abstract
Device for finding unknown, multifactorial triggers of paroxysmally occurring illnesses, which is coupled to an electronic patient file and/or, if appropriate, spatially distributed databases, a comparison and evaluation device carrying out, after a paroxysm, a correlation analysis in order to search for typical patterns in the temporal occurrence of the stored data elements.
Claims20
A device for finding unknown, multifactorial triggers of paroxysmally occurring illnesses, which is coupled to an electronic patient file and/or, if appropriate, spatially distributed databases, characterized by a comparison and evaluation device which carries out a correlation analysis in order to search for typical patterns in the temporal occurrence of stored data elements of the patient file and the databases, which patterns are correlated with the occurrence of the paroxysm and includes an analysis of a time interval preceding the occurrence of the paroxysm.
A device for finding a trigger of a paroxysmally occurring illness, comprising:
- an electronic patient file of a paroxysmal patient,
- the patient file including prehistories in diurnal cycles of the paroxysmal patient where, subsequent to the cycles, a trigger causes paroxysm events in the patient;
- and
- an analysis component interfaced with stored data elements of the electronic patient file,
- the analysis component identifying the trigger of the paroxysm events through a correlation analysis, of the stored data elements, for typical patterns in temporal occurrences of the paroxysm events,
- the analysis component, in identifying the trigger, utilizing stored data elements of the prehistories for time periods immediately preceding the paroxysm events.
