APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION
First Claim
1. A method of alerting a patient to the risk of the presence of a physiological condition, the method comprising:
- receiving at least two physiological parameters from a patient;
determining, from the received physiological parameters, a result signal indicative of the presence or onset of said physiological condition by processing the received physiological parameters to identify one of a plurality of entries of a look-up table, each entry of the look-up up table corresponding to a pre-calculated probability of the presence or onset of said physiological condition;
notifying the patient of the result signal indicative of the presence or onset of said physiological condition.

Abstract
An apparatus for detecting a physiological condition in a person, comprising input means for receiving at least two physiological parameters, processing means for determining, from the received physiological parameters, a result signal indicative of the presence or onset of said physiological condition, and output means for generating an output indicative of the result signal. The apparatus further comprises storage means for storing a look-up table comprising a plurality of entries, each entry corresponding to a pre-calculated probability of the presence or onset of said physiological condition, the pre-calculated probabilities being determined by means of a mathematical process from previously monitored physiological parameters; and the processing means is adapted to process the received at least two physiological parameters to identify one of the plurality of entries of the look-up table, and to determine said result signal from the identified entry of the look-up table.

2. A method for detecting a physiological condition in a person, the method comprising:
-
providing a storage device adapted to store a look-up table comprising a plurality of entries, each entry corresponding to a pre-calculated probability of the presence or onset of a physiological condition, the pre-calculated probabilities being determined by a mathematical process from previously monitored physiological parameters; providing a processor adapted to receive at least two physiological parameters and identification of one of the plurality of entries of a look-up table, wherein the identification comprises comparison of at least two physiological parameters against stored values of the look-up table, and wherein the processor is further adapted to determine, from the received physiological parameters, a result signal indicative of the presence or onset of said physiological condition; and providing an output device adapted to generate an output indicative of the result signal corresponding to a pre-calculated probability of the presence or onset of a physiological condition. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
