Abstract :
In this work the authors present a formal approach to carrying out an analysis of the performance of intelligent monitoring systems (IMS) in intensive care units (ICUs). In this approach the use of any of the existing paradigms depends on the particular characteristics of the domain, and on the architecture of the IMS. The proposed methodology is based on previous retrospective analysis in which quantitative techniques of validation are applied to investigate the performance of the system. This methodology has been successfully applied to evaluate PATRICIA, an intelligent monitoring system designed to guide clinicians in handling ICU patients long-term dependent on mechanical ventilation
