Managing medical events using visual patterns generated from multivariate medical records

Abstract:

A system for managing medical events, includes: at least one medical sensor, configured to output a plurality of sensor measurements; at least one display; at least one hardware processor connected to the medical sensor and the display, and adapted to: receive a plurality of events, each having a time of occurrence, including the plurality of measurements and a plurality of external events; identify a target sequence of events in the plurality of events; identify in the plurality of events a plurality of matching sequences, each including a sequence of events matching the target sequence; augment each of the matching sequences with some temporally related events according to a predefined time test; cluster the plurality of augmented sequences in a plurality of clusters according to a temporal distribution of events; and display on the display a visual representation of the plurality of clusters according to a predefined set of similarity criteria.
