Systems and methods for a predictive notification engine

Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for predictive notification including a notification engine adapted to receive a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device. The notification engine is adapted to determine a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values. The notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on the prediction.

         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a user-defined alert level. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a user-specific role. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a procedure type. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises an anesthesia type. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a medical device type. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on a combination of the prediction, the user-defined setting, and clinical data. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the notification engine is adapted to receive a second sequence of data values for a second parameter. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each data value in the sequence is associated with a timestamp. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the prediction is based on a determination of a trend in the sequence. 
     
     
         11 . A method for predictive notification, the method comprising:
 receiving, using a processor, a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device and receiving a sequence of messages from a clinical application;   determining, using a processor, a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values and the sequence of messages; and   generating, using a processor, a notification based on the prediction and a user-defined setting.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a user-defined alert level. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a user-specific role. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a procedure type. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises an anesthesia type. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises a medical device type. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on a combination of the prediction, the user-defined setting, and clinical data. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the notification engine is adapted to receive a second sequence of data values for a second parameter. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein each data value in the sequence is associated with a timestamp. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the prediction is based on a determination of a trend in the sequence. 
     
     
         21 . A tangible computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for execution on a computer, the set of instructions, when executed, configuring at least one processor to implement:
 a notification engine adapted to receive a sequence of data values for a parameter from a medical device and a sequence of messages from a clinical application, wherein the notification engine is adapted to determine a prediction based at least in part on the sequence of data values and the sequence of messages, and wherein the notification engine is adapted to generate a notification based on the prediction and a user-defined setting.   
     
     
         22 . The tangible computer-readable storage medium of  claim 21 , wherein the user-defined setting comprises at least one of a user-defined alert level, a user-specific role, a procedure type, an anesthesia type, and a medical device type.
