Abstract
An early warning scoring system and method include a computing device, a plurality of sensors for acquiring physiological signals from a patient, wherein the sensors are functionally connected to the computing device, and at least one alarm adapted to output an alert upon an early warning score (EWS) exceeding a predetermined level. The computing device receives the physiological signals from the sensors, analyzes the physiological signals, and based on the analyzed signals, calculates the early warning score, and compares to the early warning score to predetermined limits and, if the score is outside the limits, triggers an alarm or actuates or modifies a treatment or medical intervention.
