Parameter evaluation system
First Claim
1. A parameter evaluation system, comprising:
- a boundary input device, user operable for setting internal boundaries at any of substantially continuous locations inside a variation range of one or more continuous parameters, said parameters being medical parameters and being individual to respective patients, said boundaries defining a plurality of internal regions within said variation range, said boundary input device thereby being able to allow user reconfiguration of said boundary regions,a label input device, user operable for associating labels with said internal regions,a rule input device, user operable for setting rules to associate at least one of a plurality of output recommendations with each of said internal regions and with combinations thereof, andan output device configured to present a user with an output recommendation associated with a respective said internal region or combination thereof, said output recommendation corresponding to at least one measured said medical parameter input to said system.

Abstract
A parameter evaluation system comprising a boundary input device for setting boundaries in a variation range of one or more parameters, thereby to define regions within said variation range, a label input device for associating labels with said regions, a rule input device for setting rules to associate at least one of a plurality of output recommendations with each of said regions and with combinations thereof and an output device to present a user with an output recommendation associated with a region or combination thereof corresponding to at least one measured parameter input to said system. The input device is a parameter value region selection and categorization input device for setting boundaries in the variation range of the parameter, defining regions therebetween and categorizing the regions. The device comprises a visual representation of the variation range as a linear continuum, a continuum divider for visually dividing the continuum at user selectable points therealong, the points corresponding to values of the parameter, thereby to define regions therebetween and a category definer for defining categories for association with the regions. The device has an application in a patient monitoring kit under remote supervision of a physician.

21. A method of associating a series of outputs with detected levels of a continuously varying parameter, said detected levels comprising an outcome, the method comprising;
-
inviting a user to slidably set one or more internal boundary levels at any of substantially continuous locations inside a variation range of said parameter, said parameter being a medical parameter and being individual to respective patients, thereby defining internal regions between each boundary level, such that said internal regions are differentially definable for different patients, inviting a user to associate categorization labels with each said defined internal region, inviting a user to associate rules with each said internal region and with combinations of said internal regions of different said medical parameters to associate a series of outputs with said regions and combinations, such that at least one of said series of outputs is produced by an outcome. - View Dependent Claims (22)
