The monitoring device configured to be attached to a patient and the accelerometer configured to measure accelerometer data. The on-board electronic processor of the monitoring device performs a health status monitoring method including analyzing the accelerometer data to determine respiration rate data for the patient or an indication that respiration rate data cannot be determined from the accelerometer data; determining whether the monitoring device is attached to the patient based at least on the whether the analyzing determines that respiration rate data cannot be determined; and one of (i) displaying health status information for the patient generated from the accelerometer data and the determined respiration rate data; or (ii) displaying an indication that the monitoring device is not attached to the patient.
摘要:
A method for determining a risk score that indicates a risk that a clinical event will occur within a certain period of time. The risk score is based at least in part on a combination of inferred activities of two or more cellular signaling pathways in a tissue and/or cells and/or a body fluid of a subject. The cellular signaling pathways comprise a Wnt pathway, an ER pathway, an HH pathway, and/or an AR pathway. The risk score is defined such that the indicated risk that the clinical event will occur within the certain period of time decreases with an increasing PER and increases with an increasing max(PWnt, PHH), wherein PER, PWnt, and PHH denote the inferred activity of the ER pathway, the Wnt pathway, and the HH pathway, respectively.

A method (100) comprising: (i) providing (104, 106) a reference data set for a first gene expression platform and a training data set for a second platform; (iii) computing (108) a boundary expression level that distinguishes between the subtypes; (iv) generating (1 10) a confusion matrix; (v) determining (112) an effectiveness of the gene markers to discriminate between the subtypes; (vi) filtering (114) any gene marker with an expression level below a threshold or with determined effectiveness below a threshold; (v) calculating (118) a mean and/or median expression level for each subtype, and comparing them to generate an expression level change; (vi) comparing (118) the expression level change to a reference expression level change; and (vii) selecting (120) the gene marker if the generated expression level change and the reference expression level change are changed in the same direction; and (viii) providing (124) the selected gene markers via a user interface.

The invention relates to a computer-implemented Bayesian inference method for performing Bayesian inference in a Bayesian network, which includes a continuous child node (3) and its discrete parent node (2) having two states. Being provided with a calibrated continuous probability distribution of the observations of the child node (3) for each of the two states of the parent node (2), the inferring for a new observation of the child node (3) for which the state of the parent node (2) is not known of the probability of at least a first state of the parent node (2) makes use of masses of portions of the probability distributions that depend on a locational relationship of the probability distributions and the value of the new observation. This may ensure that the inferred probability of the first state of the parent node (2) monotonically changes with monotonically changing values of the new observation.

The present application mainly relates to a method for determining a prognosis for a subject diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The method comprises determining the prognosis based on activities of at least two cellular signaling pathways including a phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and a nuclear factor-kappa B (NFkB or NFκB) pathway in a sample of the subject. The present application also relates to a method for identifying a subject diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer that will be suitable for a PI3K pathway targeting therapy or an NFkB pathway targeting therapy. The method comprises identifying the subject based on activities of at least two cellular signaling pathways including a PI3K pathway and an NFkB pathway in a sample of the subject. The present application further relates to corresponding apparatuses, non-transitory storage media, computer programs and kits.

摘要:
A bioinformatics method for determining a risk score that indicates a risk that a subject will experience a negative clinical event within a certain period of time. The risk score is based on a combination of activities of two or more cellular signaling pathways in a subject, such as a human, wherein the specific cellular signaling pathways are the PI3K pathway and one or more of a Wnt pathway, an ER pathway, and an HH pathway. The invention also includes an apparatus with a digital processor configured to perform such a method, to a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by a digital processing device to perform such a method, and to a computer program comprising program code means for causing a digital processing device to perform such a method. The invention achieves advanced prognosis of negative clinical events, for example, disease progression, recurrence, development of metastasis, or even death.
