Abstract

A system for converting biologic particle density data into a motion image of at least one clinical condition such as sepsis, wherein the system comprises a processor programmed to detect a plurality of perturbations of the biologic particle densities associated with the clinical condition, detect or determine features of the perturbations, and detect or determine patterns of the perturbations. The processor can also be programmed to generate an image of the clinical condition comprised of time image components comprising a two dimensional user-facing map, wherein time extends along an axis away from the user facing map such that the map may be scrolled forward or backward over time to view different two dimensional images of the clinical condition.

Claims

1. A system for converting biologic particle density data into a motion image of at least one clinical condition comprising a processor programmed to:

receive data relating to the biologic particle densities;

detect a plurality of perturbations of the biologic particle densities associated with the clinical condition,

detect or determine patterns of the perturbations;

detect or determine features of the perturbations;

detect or determine patterns of said features; and

generate the motion image of the clinical condition comprised of time image components responsive to said perturbations, said features, said patterns of perturbations, and said patterns of features over time, the motion image being displayed on a two dimensional user-facing map, wherein time extends along an axis away from the two dimensional user facing map so that each user-facing motion image on the two dimensional user-facing map comprises a segment of time along the motion image of the clinical condition such that the map may be scrolled forward or backward over time to view different two dimensional static images of the motion image at different segments of time of the clinical condition.

2. The patient monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the clinical condition is sepsis.

3. The patient monitoring system of claim 1, wherein said two dimensional user-facing map comprises a first map and said motion image comprises a first image, the processor being programmed to:

generate a second motion image of the clinical condition comprised of time image components responsive to said perturbations, said features, said patterns of perturbations, and said patterns of features, over time, the second motion image being displayed on a second two dimensional user-facing map wherein time extends along one axis of the second two dimensional map, the second motion image growing along the time axis over time, so that the second motion image on the second two dimensional user-facing map can extend over the entire duration of the condition,

the first map being time linked with the second map so that the first map and the second map are viewable as the first map and the second map evolve together over the same time period, and so a position of a static image along the first image at a single point or segment in time can be identified on the second motion image along the time axis so that the relationship and position of the static image of the first image is simultaneously viewable on the second motion image.

4. A system for converting biologic particle density data into a motion image of at least one clinical condition comprising a processor programmed to:

receive data relating to biologic particle densities;

detect a plurality of perturbations of the biologic particle densities associated with the clinical condition;

detect or determine patterns of the perturbations;

detect or determine features of the perturbations,

detect or determine patterns of said features; and

generate the motion image of the clinical condition comprised of time image components responsive to said perturbations, said features, said patterns of perturbations, and said patterns of features, over time, the motion image being displayed on a two dimensional user-facing map and wherein time extends along one axis of the two dimensional map, the motion image growing along the time axis over time, so that the image on the two dimensional user-facing map can extend over the entire duration of the clinical condition, wherein time extends along an axis away from the user facing map so that each user-facing motion image on the two dimensional user-facing map comprises a segment of time along the image of the condition such that the map may be scrolled forward or backward over time to view different two dimensional static images of the condition at different segments of time of the condition.

5. The patient monitoring system of claim 4, wherein the clinical condition is sepsis.

6. A system for converting biologic particle density data into a motion image of at least one clinical condition comprising a processor programmed to:

receive data relating to biologic particles densities;

detect a plurality of perturbations of the biologic particle densities associated with the clinical condition;

detect or determine features of the perturbations;

detect or determine patterns of the perturbations;

generate an image of the clinical condition comprised of time image components responsive to said perturbations, said features, and said patterns over time; and

generate a three dimensional user-facing map having a two dimensional user-facing map wherein the image is visible extending backward along a time axis wherein time extends along the axis away from the two dimensional user-facing map so that each user-facing image on the two dimensional user-facing map comprises a segment of time along the image of the clinical condition such that the map may be scrolled forward or backward over time with the three dimensional image of the condition moving toward or away from the two dimensional user-facing map when the image is scrolled forward or backward over time.

7. The patient monitoring system of claim 6, wherein the clinical condition is sepsis.
