MEDICAL CHARACTERIZATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of treating a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving optical data from an optical sensor;
determining a plurality of parameters based on the received optical data, wherein at least one of the plurality of parameters comprise oxygen saturation;
extracting a plurality of subparameters corresponding to the oxygen saturation, wherein the subparameters comprise saturation baseline, saturation instability, and saturation average slope;
applying a respective risk function to each of the plurality of subparameters;
calculating a plurality of subparameter risk values based on the application of respective risk functions;
calculating an oxygen saturation risk based on an application of a plurality of weights to the calculated plurality of subparameter risk values;
generating a health index based on the calculated oxygen saturation risk and risks associated with rest of the plurality of parameters;
displaying the health index on a display; and
treating the patient based on the health index.

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.
