System and method for identifying a prospective clinical therapy for a prospective patient having a medical device
First Claim
1. A system for identifying a prospective clinical therapy for a prospective patient having a medical device, performed with a medical apparatus, comprising:
- A data storage device configured to store a historical database incorporating information relating to a multiplicity of patients, each of said multiplicity of patients having a medical device and each of said multiplicity of patients having undergone at least one of a plurality of clinical therapies, said information comprising, for each of said multiplicity of patients, device characteristics of said medical device, patient characteristics of each of said multiplicity of patients and an assessment of efficacy of the clinical therapies;
wherein said plurality of clinical therapies are delivered by the medical device associated with said multiplicity of patients; and
an analyzer comprising electronic equipment configured to correlate device characteristics of said prospective patient with said device characteristics, said patient characteristics and said assessment of efficacy of clinical therapies of said multiplicity of patients using said historical database to identify a prospective clinical therapy for said prospective patient associated with said device characteristics in said historical database having a relatively greater efficacy than one of plurality of said clinical therapies;
wherein said prospective clinical therapy is delivered by the medical device associated with said prospective patient;
wherein said correlating step is accomplished utilizing statistical analysis.

Abstract
System and method for identifying a prospective clinical therapy for a prospective patient. The patient has a medical device, performed with a medical apparatus. The system has a historical database and an analyzer. The historical database incorporates information relating to a multiplicity of patients, each of the multiplicity of patients having a medical device and each of the multiplicity of patients having undergone a clinical therapy, the information including, for each of the multiplicity of patients, device characteristics of the medical device and an assessment of efficacy of clinical therapy. The analyzer correlates device characteristics of the prospective patient with the device characteristics and the assessment of efficacy of clinical therapy of the multiplicity of patients using the historical database to identify a prospective clinical therapy for the prospective patient associated with the device characteristics in the historical database having a relatively greater efficacy than the clinical therapy.
