Use of Patient Vital Sign Data for Preventing Medical Errors (RFT-685)
Invention Summary
Medical errors are often due to patient misidentification. This technology leverages an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system that utilizes patient vital sign data to prevent misidentification. The system uses a gradient descent expert system (GDES) network to analyze vital signs such as heart rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. By comparing current and historical vital sign data, the system identifies potential misidentifications, alerting healthcare providers to discrepancies.
Benefits
- Enhanced Patient Safety-reduces the risk of medical errors due to misidentification.
- Automated Alerts-provides real-time alerts for potential misidentifications, enabling prompt corrective action.
- Cost Reduction-minimizes financial losses associated with denied claims and liability from misidentification errors.
Applications
- Medical Device Manufacturers
- Medical Software Industry
