Real-time time series matrix pathophysiologic pattern processor and quality assessment method

A medical monitoring device for analysis of a set of physiologic and laboratory data and for providing a real time or near real time correlation metric for a distress condition is described herein. The medical monitoring device can include a memory storage that comprises a first set of definitions of rise and fall patterns of said physiologic and laboratory data, each of the rise and fall patterns being indicative of a physiological occurrence, a second set of definitions of time series matrix patterns of said rise and fall patterns, the time series matrix patterns being indicative of a distress condition, and a pre-determined correlation metric for each of at least a portion of the time series matrix patterns with reference to the distress condition. The medical monitoring device can also include a monitor to identify the time series matrix patterns in data in memory storage.
