Abstract
A medical apparatus (901, 100) assists clinicians, nurses or other users in choosing an intervention for the treatment of a patent suffering from an acute dynamic disease, e.g. sepsis. The medical apparatus is based on a method where a model of the disease is adapted or personalized to the patient. To ensure that the apparatus remains capable of predicting the health of the patient, the apparatus is continuously provided with new, more recent patient values and the model is continuously adapted to the new patient values. Since the medical apparatus is configured to be continuously adapted to current state of health, the apparatus is able to assist the user by generating disease management information, e.g. suggestions for medications, to an output device (902, 104).
