Adaptive monitoring in the ICU: a dynamic and contextual study.
The wealth of physiological data made available by current medical monitoring systems can be used efficiently only if the monitoring system is capable of relieving human personnel of relatively low-level tasks by performing intelligent data interpretation, contextual analysis and advice tasks. The system described in this paper can choose the variables to which most processing time will be devoted on the basis of the evolution of the patient.
