Collection and Analysis of Vital Signs
First Claim
1. A system for receiving an output from an external source comprising:
- a storage having at least one database;
a communications module for receiving vital-sign data from an external source and storing the received data in said storage;
an analysis controller in communication with said storage, said analysis controller monitors said storage;
a reliability module in communication with said analysis controller, said analysis controller includes means for determining whether the vital-sign data is quality vital-sign data; and
a test module in communication with said analysis controller and said storage, said test module receives information from said storage through said analysis controller and stores any output in said storage, andsaid test module includes running means for running at least one algorithm loaded into said storage where said at least one algorithm processes at least a portion of the information provided by said analysis controller.

Abstract
A system is disclosed having a storage, a communications module for interacting with a medical measurement device, an analysis controller, and a test module that allows for the testing and evaluating of decision-support algorithms. A method for testing decision-support algorithms is disclosed having the steps of receiving into storage of a ruggedized, compact computer at least one decision-support algorithm; detecting with a communications module the initiation of a vital-sign monitoring session; receiving and storing vital-sign information into storage by the communications module; pushing the stored vital-sign information by an analysis controller to a test module running the stored at least one decision-support algorithm; and providing at least one output from the decision-support algorithm to at least one of a database and a display.

12. A method for testing decision-support algorithms comprising:
-
receiving into storage of a ruggedized, compact computer at least one decision-support algorithm; detecting with a communications module the initiation of a vital-sign monitoring session; receiving and storing vital-sign information into storage by the communications module; determining whether the vital-sign information is quality vital-sign information, when the vital-sign information is not quality then not using that vital-sign information; pushing the stored quality vital-sign information by an analysis controller to a test module running the stored at least one decision-support algorithm; and providing at least one output from the decision-support algorithm to at least one of a database and a display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
