Sistema inteligente de apoio à decisão e monitorização de doentes críticos em tempo-real

Intensive care units are places where patients’ vital signs are continuously monitored and recorded alongside a multiplicity of clinical parameters. The main goal of this work is to study and develop an intelligent system to promote new decision-making knowledge crucial to provide better treatment to the patient. This article presents the achieved goals; in particular, the system developed for monitoring the clinical data and, using data mining technologies, for predicting clinical events with great sensitivity (90–100%), including organ failure probability, read-missions, and sepsis.Este trabalho foi apoiado por fundos nacionais – FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia no âmbito do projeto FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-022674 e está enquadrado no projeto de investigação financiado pela FCT: INTCare II – PTDC/EEI-SII/1302/201
