INTCare: On-line knowledge discovery in the intensive care unit

Abstract:

In our work aim to automate the knowledge discovery process. In this paper we present the INTCare system, an intelligent decision support system for intensive care medicine. INTCare is an agent based system that has (autonomous) agents responsible both for data acquisition and model updating thus reducing the need for human intervention. In the present, INTCare is pbkp_redicting organ failure and probability of in-hospital death. Reliable pbkp_rediction results facilitate a change from the current reactive behavior to a pro-active one thus enhancing the quality of service. The functional and structural aspects are presented as are some results obtained using data collected from the bedside monitors. ©2009 IEEE.
