Condition Monitoring in the Adult ICU

The presence of artifact in intensive care monitoring data is a major problem; e.g. maintaining blood pressure in critically ill patients is a key management goal and yet it is the physiological variable most prone to error. In addition to real-time monitoring, artifact detection is necessary for the proper audit or trial of therapies.

This project has developed and validated the Factorial Switching Linear Dynamical System (FSLDS) and the Discriminative Switching Linear Dynamical System (DSLDS) for the detection, removal and cleaning of artifact from vital signs data.
