Method and system for a distributed analytical and diagnostic software over the intranet and internet environment
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring the medical condition of a patient, said apparatus comprising:
- a monitoring device which during use monitors one or more clinical features of the patient;
a predictive instrument arranged to receive output from the monitoring device and programmed to compute a probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis based on the monitored one or more clinical features, said predictive instrument further programmed to compute said probability by executing an algorithm which models said medical outcome or diagnosis; and
a user interface through which a user enters information characterizing the patient, wherein said predictive instrument is further programmed to request said algorithm from a remote location.

12. An apparatus for enabling a remotely located predictive instrument to compute a probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis based on monitored one or more clinical features of a patient, said apparatus comprising:
-
a data storage area which stores a plurality of different algorithms, each of which models a corresponding medical outcome or diagnosis; and
a server which is programmed to respond to a request from a remote device by retrieving a selected one of said plurality of different algorithms from said data storage and forwarding the selected algorithm to the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A method for evaluating a medical condition of a patient, said method comprising:
-
electronically requesting from a server at a remote location an algorithm for computing a probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis;
electronically receiving from the server at the remote location, said algorithm for computing the probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis;
monitoring one or more clinical features of the patient; and
using the received algorithm to compute the probability of the medical outcome or diagnosis for the patient and based on the monitored one or more features. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
