Abstract

Method, system, and computer program method for detecting pathological fluctuations of physiological signals to diagnose human illness. The method comprises performing a sliding window analysis to find sequences in physiological signal data that match amplitude- and duration-adjusted versions of a template function to within a specified tolerance.
