Devices, systems, and methods for automated data collection

A system including a computer processor, the system comprising:

• circuitry configured for receiving at least one input from a subject in a hospital room in response to one or more queries, wherein the one or more queries include one or more data collection questions;
• circuitry configured for comparing at least one input from the subject with a Characteristic Value dataset;
• circuitry configured for determining a Characteristic Value from the at least one input from the subject based on the comparison with the Characteristic Value dataset;
• circuitry configured for repeating receiving at least one input from the one or more characteristics of the subject, comparing the at least one input with a Characteristic Value dataset until a comparison with the Characteristic Value dataset satisfies a threshold condition;
• circuitry configured for generating a Criticality Value for the subject based on a weighted determination of the subject's Characteristic Values;
• circuitry configured for comparing the Criticality Value of the subject with a Criticality Value dataset, the Criticality Value dataset including Criticality Values for subjects in the queue;
• and
• circuitry configured for communicating an output indicative of the Criticality Value of the subject to a user, and circuitry configured for directing at least one health care worker to provide medical treatment to the subject according to the order in the queue.
