Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for predictive notification including a notification engine adapted to receive a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device. The notification engine is adapted to determine a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values. The notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on the prediction.

Claims

1. A system for predictive notification, the system comprising:

a notification engine adapted to receive a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device, wherein the notification engine is adapted to determine a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values, and wherein the notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on the prediction.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the notification engine is adapted to receive a second sequence of data values for a second parameter.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the second sequence is from a second medical device.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the second sequence is from the same medical device.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the prediction is further based at least in part on the second sequence of data values.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the notification engine is adapted to receive a sequence of messages from a clinical application, and wherein the prediction is further based at least in part on the sequence of messages.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein each data value in the sequence is associated with a timestamp.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the prediction is based on a determination of a trend in the sequence.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the notification is generated based on an experience level for a user.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein a second notification is generated based on a second prediction determined based at least in part on the sequence of data values and subsequent data values for the parameter, wherein the second notification is generated after the first notification, and wherein the second notification is generated when the second prediction indicates that a previously detected condition has not been corrected.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the prediction is determined by detecting a common mistake made in a teaching environment.

12. A method for predictive notification, the method comprising:

receiving a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device;

determining a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values; and

generating a notification based on the prediction.

13. The method of claim 12, further including receiving a second sequence of data values for a second parameter.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the second sequence is from a second medical device.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the second sequence is from the same medical device.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the prediction is further based at least in part on the second sequence of data values.

17. The method of claim 12, further including receives a sequence of messages from a clinical application, and wherein the prediction is further based at least in part on the sequence of messages.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the prediction is based on a determination of a trend in the sequence.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the notification is generated based on an experience level for a user.

20. A computer-readable medium including a set of instructions for execution on a computer, the set of instructions comprising:

a data reception routine configured to receive a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device;

a prediction processing routine configure to determine a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values; and

a notification routine configured to generate a notification based on the prediction
