1. An automated first responder method, the method comprising:
- under control of a hardware processor,receiving patient data comprising a plurality of physiological parameter values, at least some of the physiological parameter values derived from physiological signals obtained from one or more physiological sensors coupled with a patient;
analyzing the patient data to determine whether the patient data matches at least one of a plurality of diagnostic models represented in computer memory, each diagnostic model representing a possible diagnoses of a different condition and resulting in administration of a different drug;
determining that the patient data matches the at least one diagnostic model;
responsive to said determining, initiating a treatment workflow comprising automatically administering a substance to the patient;
subsequent to said administering, determining that the patient data again matches the diagnostic model; and
responsive to said determining that the patient data again matches the diagnostic model, sending an alert to a clinician over a hospital network, the alert indicating that an additional amount of the substance may be necessary for the patient.

Abstract
An autonomous drug delivery system advantageously utilizes physiological monitor outputs so as to automatically give a bolus of a rescue drug or other necessary medication when certain criteria and confidence levels are met. An emergency button is provided to manually trigger administration of the rescue drug. The rescue drug may be an opioid antagonist in response to an analgesia overdose, a hypotensive drug to avert an excessive drop in blood pressure or an anti-arrhythmia drug to suppress abnormal heartbeats, to name a few.

13. An automated first responder system, the system comprising:
-
a patient monitor comprising a hardware processor configured to derive physiological parameter values from physiological signals obtained from one or more physiological sensors coupled with a patient; and an autonomous delivery device in communication with the patient monitor, the autonomous delivery device comprising at least one substance; the hardware processor configured to; analyze the physiological parameter values to determine whether the physiological parameter values correspond with a diagnostic model; determine that the physiological parameter values correspond with the diagnostic model; responsive to said determination, initiate a treatment workflow that automatically administers a substance to the patient from the autonomous delivery device; subsequent to said administration, determine that the physiological parameter values again match the diagnostic model; and responsive to said determination that the physiological parameter values again match the diagnostic model, send an alert to a clinician over a hospital network, the alert indicating that an additional amount of the substance may be necessary for the patient. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An automated first responder system, the system comprising:
-
a patient monitor comprising a hardware processor configured to derive physiological parameter values from one or more physiological signals obtained from one or more physiological sensors coupled with a patient; and an autonomous delivery device in communication with the patient monitor, the autonomous delivery device comprising a substance; the hardware processor programmed to; analyze the physiological parameter values to determine that the physiological parameter values correspond with a diagnostic model; output an alarm based on the determination that the physiological parameter values correspond with the diagnostic model; determine that a response to the alarm has not been received within a predetermined time period; and cause the substance to be administered to the patient subsequent to the determination that a response to the alarm has not been received within the predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
