Probabilistic patient monitoring using extreme value theory: A multivariate, multimodal methodology for detecting patient deterioration

Conventional patient monitoring is performed by generating alarms when vital signs exceed pie-determined thresholds, but the false-alarm rate of such monitors in hospitals is so high that alarms are typically ignored. We propose a principled, probabilistic method for combining vital signs into a mul...
