METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MONITORING PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a physiological signal of a subject, the method comprising:
- deriving a property measure from at least one physiological signal obtained from a subject, wherein each property measure is indicative of a predetermined property of a respective physiological signal in a time window, and wherein the deriving is performed in consecutive time windows, thereby to obtain at least one property measure sequence;
producing at least one indication signal to be presented to a user, wherein the producing comprises determining signal attributes for the at least one indication signal based on the at least one property measure sequence; and
presenting the at least one indication signal to the user.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for monitoring a physiological signal of a subject are disclosed. To provide a mechanism that allows perception of the general clinical state of the subject easily and without expertise, a property measure is derived from at least one physiological signal obtained from a subject, wherein each property measure is indicative of a predetermined property of a respective physiological signal in a time window, and wherein the deriving is performed in consecutive time windows, thereby to obtain at least one property measure sequence. At least one indication signal is produced to be presented to a user, wherein the producing comprises determining signal attributes for the at least one indication signal based on the at least one property measure sequence, and the at least one indication signal is presented to the user.
