RESEARCH DATA CLASSIFICATION AND QUALITY CONTROL FOR DATA FROM NON-INVASIVE PHYSIOLOGIC SENSORS
First Claim
1. A method of obtaining research data that includes a set of physiologic parameters of a subject by utilizing a physiologic sensor which measures a plurality of physiologic parameters of a subject by obtaining signals from the sensor from which the physiologic parameters are calculated and which verifies the calculated parameters with preset criteria, the method further comprising the steps of:
- Providing a plurality of distinct error classification codes for the calculated parameters, wherein each error classification code is associated with a given set of failed criteria;
Recording the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period;
Assigning error classification codes to calculated parameters that failed to meet the given criteria; and
Recording the assigned error codes in a time integrated manner with the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of obtaining research data that includes a set of physiologic parameters of a subject by utilizing a physiologic sensor which measures a plurality of physiologic parameters of a subject by obtaining signals from the sensor from which the physiologic parameters are calculated and which verifies the calculated parameters with preset criteria, comprising the steps of: Providing a plurality of distinct error classification codes for the calculated parameters, wherein each error classification code is associated with a given set of failed criteria; Recording the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period; Assigning error classification codes to calculated parameters that failed to meet the given criteria; and Recording the assigned error codes in a time integrated manner with the calculated parameters of the subject over a session period. The Error codes may be visibly displayed to the user in a variety of formats.

11. A method of displaying data that includes a set of physiologic parameters of a subject obtained by utilizing a physiologic sensor which measures a plurality of physiologic parameters of a subject by obtaining signals from the sensor from which the physiologic parameters are calculated and which verifies the calculated parameters with preset criteria, the method further comprising the steps of:
-
Assigning error classification codes to calculated parameters that failed to meet the given criteria, wherein each error classification code is associated with a given set of failed criteria; Displaying the calculated parameters to the user, wherein some of the calculated parameters will be displayed to the user in a different color when the calculated parameter fails to meet preset criteria from the color used to display the calculated parameter when the calculated parameter meet the preset criteria; and Displaying the assigned error classification code to the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
