Patient condition display
First Claim
1. A method of displaying a graphical representation of a patient'"'"'s condition as measured by n parameters, where n>
- 3, comprising mapping data points represented by said n parameters from an n-dimensional measurement space into an m-dimensional visualization space, where m<
n, using a dimensionality reduction mapping, and displaying the visualization space and the data points mapped into it, and wherein the displaying is adapted to the display of dynamically changing values of said parameters by means of the mapping being carried out by a trained artificial neural network, wherein said mapping maps each data point on receipt onto a novelty index constituting a one dimensional visualization space and the value of said novelty index is displayed against time, and wherein the novelty index of each point is based on its distance in the n-dimensional measurement space from a predefined set of points representing a normal condition for the patient.

Abstract
Data from a plurality of sensors representing a patient'"'"'s condition, including measurement signals and also secondary parameters derived from the measurement signals, are displayed in a simple way by calculating a novelty index constituting a one-dimensional visualization space. The novelty index is based on the distance of the current data point in a multi-dimensional measurement space, whose coordinates are defined by the values of the measurement signals and secondary parameters, from a predefined normal point. This may be achieved by using a suitably trained artificial neural network to sum the distance between the current data point in the measurement space and a plurality of prototype points representing normality.
