Abstract
A system and method for providing diagnosis and monitoring of congestive heart failure for use in automated patient care is described. At least one recorded physiological measure is compared to at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for equivalent patient information. An absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of congestive heart failure is evaluated dependent upon the change in patient pathophysiological status.
Claims19
A system for providing diagnosis and monitoring of congestive heart failure for use in automated patient care, comprising:
- a comparison module comparing at least one recorded physiological measure to at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for equivalent patient information;
- a diagnostic module comparing the change in patient pathophysiological status to an indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure indicative of congestive heart failure;
- and
- an analysis module determining an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of congestive heart failure dependent upon the comparison.
