MEDICAL CHARACTERIZATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A medical characterization system is configured to input medical-related continuous parameters and discrete data so as to calculate a characterization timeline indicative of a physiological condition of a living being, the medical characterization system comprising:
- a parameter generator in sensor communications with a living being so as to generate a continuous parameter;
a characterization processor responsive to the continuous parameter so as to generate a medical characterization of the living being as a function of time;
a discrete data source that provides a datum responsive to the living being at a first time and that is available to the characterization processor at a second time; and
a characterization analyzer that enables the characterization processor to update the medical characterization in view of the datum as of the first time.

Abstract
A medical characterization system is configured to input medical-related continuous parameters and discrete data so as to calculate a characterization timeline indicative of a physiological condition of a living being. A data source is in sensor communications with a patient so as to generate a continuous parameter. The data source also provides test data responsive to the patient at a test time. The test data is available to a characterization processor at a result time. The characterization processor is also responsive to the continuous parameter so as to generate a medical characterization as a function of time. A characterization analyzer enables the characterization processor to update the medical characterization in view of the test data as of the test time.
