1. A system for patient signal analysis, comprising:
- one or more thermal sensors that non-invasively acquire thermal signal data from a patient; and
a computer system communicatively coupled to the one or more thermal sensors, wherein the computer system includesa non-transitory computer-readable media that stores computer readable program code, anda processor in communication with the non-transitory computer-readable media, the processor being operative with the computer readable program code to perform steps includingsynchronizing the thermal signal data with a blood pressure signal data,segmenting, based on occurrence of one or more points on the synchronized blood pressure signal data, the thermal signal data into a region of interest and extracting one or more parameters from the region of interest,repeatedly determining different types of cardiac output indices based on the one or more parameters, wherein each of the different types of cardiac output indices individually characterizes cardiac output or stroke volume,linearly combining the different types of cardiac output indices to generate a final cardiac output index by determining a product of a ratio and a weighted sum of the cardiac output indices, wherein the ratio is dependent on a location of the one or more thermal sensors, andcontrolling a treatment device by one or more control parameters based at least in part on the final cardiac output index.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating thermal patient signal analysis. In accordance with one aspect, the framework receives patient signal data including thermal signal data. The framework then segments a region of interest from the thermal signal data. One or more cardiac output indices may be determined based on one or more parameters extracted from the segmented region of interest to characterize cardiac output or stroke volume. A report may then be generated based at least in part on the one or more cardiac output indices.
