Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus, a system (100), a method (200), and a computer program for assessing the risk of an exacerbation and/or hospitalization. A patient's physical activity is measured (e.g., by an accelerometer (110)) during an active period of time (e.g., during awake hours) and during a rest period of time (e.g., during sleep hours) to gather first and second activity data. A risk of exacerbation and/or hospitalization is assessed (e.g., by a risk assessment unit (120)) based on an expression involving the respective activity data during active and rest periods fulfilling a predetermined relationship with respect to a predetermined activity level. For instance, low activity data during active periods and high activity data during rest periods indicates an increased risk of exacerbation and/or hospital readmission for the patient.
Abstract:
A method of communicating between a primary station and a plurality of secondary stations is described. According to one aspect, the secondary station monitors a control channel search space for a control message from a primary station intended for the communication device. According to an aspect, the control message is indicative of a resource allocated to the secondary station for communicating with the primary station and the resource corresponds to a component carrier. The secondary station determines a control channel from the control channel search space having the control message intended for the secondary station and determines, based on a presence of the control channel on a specific component carrier, the indication of a resource set from a plurality of resources sets in which the resource allocated to the secondary station is located.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) for patient record identification. It is described to input (210) at least one query value relating to at least one medical condition. Patient records are received (220) from a patient database. Each patient record comprises at least one attribute value relating to the at least one medical condition, and each patient record comprises information relating to an outcome of the at least one medical condition. A first set of patient records is determined (230) based on a similarity between the at least one query value input by the user and the at least one attribute value for the patient records. The first set of patient records is separated (240) into patient records relating to a positive outcome for the at least one medical condition and into patient records relating to a negative outcome for the at least one medical condition. An implemented model calculates (250) at least one outcome probability for the at least one medical condition for each patient record of the first set of patient records based on the at least one attribute value for each patient record of the first set of patient records. A second set of patient records is determined (260) from the first set of patient records comprising at least one comparison comprising utilization of a number of patient records in a first sub-set of the patient records relating to the positive outcome and a number of patient records in a second subset of the patient records relating to the negative outcome and the at least one outcome probability for the at least one medical condition for each patient record of the first sub-set and second sub-set of the patient records.
Abstract:
In pattern discovery visual analytics, a patient data table (14) is generated that tabulates, for each patient, attribute values for a set of attributes. A positive or negative prediction is generated for each patient for a target value of a target attribute using a prediction pattern (20) of attribute values for w attributes (22). The prediction is positive if at least a threshold fraction (26) of the w attributes of the patient match the prediction pattern, is negative otherwise. Patients are grouped into a selected proportion of a confusion matrix (30) in accord with the positive or negative predictions and actual values of the target attribute T in the patient data table. A display component (4) displays a representation (42) of patient statistics for the selected proportion of the confusion matrix on a per-attribute basis for attributes of the w attributes. A patient cohort (44) is identified using the representation.
