Abstract

The Patient Data Management System operates under the control of a physician to implement a patient-specific instance of the apparatus which is capable of accessing at least one data manipulation module, each defining at least one process for transforming patient medical data pursuant to a predefined schema. A patient medical data processor is responsive to the physician selecting a set of patient medical data, at least one of the data manipulation modules, and an order of applying the selected data manipulation modules to the selected patient medical data for processing the selected patient medical data using the selected data manipulation modules in the selected order to identify data indicative of a predetermined condition in the selected patient medical data. A display is available for presenting a visualization of the data indicative of a predetermined condition in the selected patient medical data.

patient medical data processor, responsive to a user selecting a set of patient medical data, at least one of said data manipulation modules and an order of applying said selected data manipulation modules to said selected patient medical data, for processing said selected patient medical data using said selected data manipulation modules in said selected order to identify data indicative of a predetermined condition in said selected patient medical data; and

display for presenting a visualization of said data indicative of a predetermined condition in said selected patient medical data.

2. The medical data analysis system of claim 1 wherein said set of patient medical data comprises:

monitoring data collected from medical devices operable to measure physiological data relating to said identified patient.

3. The medical data analysis system of claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of data manipulation modules comprises:

at least one mathematical or logical data manipulation schema for transforming an input set of data pursuant to predefined data manipulation rules to identify a correspondence of a predetermined biomarker with patient medical data in said selected set of patient medical data.

4. The medical data analysis system of claim 3 wherein said patient medical data processor comprises:

condition identification process, for generating an indication of a degree of correspondence between a predetermined biomarker associated with said data manipulation module and said selected set of patient medical data to identify a probability of a condition defined by said selected data manipulation module being present in said selected patient.

5. The medical data analysis system of claim 1, further comprising:

comparative display generator for generating a visualization of both said selected patient medical data and said predetermined biomarker associated with a condition.

6. A method of operating a physician operated medical data analysis system for assisting a physician in identifying ailments and conditions relating to an identified patient, comprising:

storing patient medical data for at least one patient in a memory;

enabling a user to access at least one data manipulation module, each defining at least one process for transforming a set of patient medical data pursuant to a predefined schema;

processing, in response to a user selecting a set of patient medical data, at least one of said data manipulation modules and an order of applying said selected data manipulation modules to said selected patient medical data, said selected patient medical data using said selected data manipulation modules in said selected order to data indicative of a predetermined condition in said selected patient medical data; and

presenting a visualization of said data indicative of a predetermined condition in said selected patient medical data.

7. The method of operating a medical data analysis system of claim 6, further comprising:

collecting monitoring data from medical devices operable to measure physiological data relating to said identified patient.

8. The method of operating a medical data analysis system of claim 6 wherein said step of processing patient medical data comprises:

transforming, using at least one mathematical or logical data manipulation schema defined by said data manipulation module, an input set of data pursuant to predefined data manipulation rules to identify a correspondence of a predetermined biomarker in said selected set of patient medical data.

9. The method of operating a medical data analysis system of claim 8 wherein said step of processing patient medical data comprises:
