Collection and analysis of vital signs
First Claim
1. A method for testing decision-support algorithms comprising:
- receiving into a storage of a ruggedized, compact computer at least one decision-support algorithm;
receiving and storing vital-sign information from an external vital-sign monitor into the storage by a communications module where the vital-sign information is associated with the vital-sign monitoring session, wherein the vital-sign information includes vital signs;
determining whether the vital-sign information is quality vital-sign information when there is agreement between two different vital-signs of the vital signs, when the vital-sign information is not quality then not using that vital-sign information;
pushing the stored quality vital-sign information by an analysis controller to a test module running the stored at least one decision-support algorithm, wherein said pushing includes;
retrieving the vital-sign information from the storage, andconverting the vital-sign information into multiple constant-frequency row vectors; and
providing at least one output from the decision-support algorithm to at least one of a database and a display.

Abstract
A system is disclosed having a storage, a communications module for interacting with a medical measurement device, an analysis controller, and a test module that allows for the testing and evaluating of decision-support algorithms. A method for testing decision-support algorithms is disclosed having the steps of receiving into storage of a ruggedized, compact computer at least one decision-support algorithm; detecting with a communications module the initiation of a vital-sign monitoring session; receiving and storing vital-sign information into storage by the communications module; pushing the stored vital-sign information by an analysis controller to a test module running the stored at least one decision-support algorithm; and providing at least one output from the decision-support algorithm to at least one of a database and a display.

10. A method for testing decision-support algorithms comprising:
-
receiving into a storage of a ruggedized, compact computer at least one decision-support algorithm; receiving and storing vital-sign information associated with the vital-sign monitoring session into the storage by a communications module where the vital-sign information is received from a vital-sign monitor; determining in substantially real-time from receipt of the vital-sign information by the communications module whether the vital-sign information is quality vital-sign information, when the vital-sign information is not quality vital-sign information then not using that vital-sign information; pushing the stored vital-sign information by an analysis controller to a test module running at least one of the stored at least one decision-support algorithm, wherein said pushing includes; retrieving the vital-sign information from the storage, and converting the vital-sign information into multiple constant-frequency row vectors; and providing at least one output from the decision-support algorithm to at least one of a database and a display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
