1. A telemonitoring alert system for patient care comprising:
- a monitoring device configured to acquire physiological data from a patient under observation; and
a computer in communication with the monitoring device to receive physiological data therefrom, the computer programmed to;
receive initial physiological data from the monitoring device during a lock- in period;
receive monitored physiological data from the monitoring device during a diagnosis period;
measure shifts in the physiological data by comparing the monitored physiological data to the initial physiological data; and
generate an alert for shifts that exceed at least one of a pre-determined size and rate.

Abstract
A system and method for determining a reference baseline of a patient and measuring trend shifts in physiological data to generate alerts acquires and receives physiological data from a patient under observation. Initial physiological data is received during a lock-in period and monitored physiological data is received during a diagnosis period. Shifts in the physiological data are measured by comparing the monitored physiological data to the initial physiological data. An alert is generated for shifts that exceed at least one of a pre-determined size and rate (i.e., a “threshold value”).

23. A monitoring and determining system comprising:
-
a monitoring device configured to measure at least one physiological parameter from a patient; a computer in communication with the monitoring device to receive one of the at least one physiological parameter and physiological data therefrom, the computer programmed to; receive a lock-in period selection; acquire physiological data from the monitoring device for the selected lock-in period; establish a reference baseline for the patient based on the acquired physiological data; receive a diagnosis period selection; acquire physiological data from the monitoring device for the selected diagnosis period; perform at least one statistical algorithm on the acquired physiological data for the selected diagnosis period, thereby to provide statistical analysis of the acquired physiological data, wherein the at least one statistical algorithm is one of mean, standard deviation, variance, range, interquartile range, moving average value, and average absolute deviation; compare the physiological data for the lock-in period to the statistical analysis of the physiological data for the diagnosis period; generate an alarm when a threshold limit is crossed, based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)

26. A system for patient care comprising:
a computer configured to receive at least one physiological parameter from one of a patient and a monitoring device, the computer programmed to; receive a lock-in period selection; acquire physiological data for the selected lock-in period; establish a reference baseline for the patient based on the acquired physiological data; receive a diagnosis period selection; acquire physiological data for the selected diagnosis period; perform at least one statistical algorithm on the acquired physiorogical data for the selected diagnosis period, thereby to provide statistical analysis of the acquired physiological data, wherein the at least one statistical algorithm is one of mean, standard deviation, variance, range, interquartile range, moving average value, average absolute deviation, moving average convergence/divergence, and non-deterministic algorithms; compare the physiological data for the lock-in period to the statistical analysis of the physiological data for the diagnosis period; generate an alarm when a threshold limit is crossed, based on the comparison, wherein the threshold limit is at least one of;
a difference value between average values, an absolute difference value between average values, a rate of change between average values, and a percentage change between average values.
