Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein may include systems and methods for evaluating physiological parameter data. Embodiments of methods may include monitoring a patient to produce a signal comprising a sequence of numerical values for a physiological parameter over a time period, calculating an index from the signal, comparing the index to a reported index, and if the index is greater than the reported index, setting the reported index to the value of the index. Embodiments of methods may include calculating a modulation of the signal, comparing the modulation to a previous value of the modulation to identity a trend in the modulation and if the trend corresponds to an undesirable condition, using a first function to increase the reported index. Embodiments of methods may include providing an indication of a physiological status based on the reported index.
