Threshold Violation Predictor : a prototype has been devised and has demonstrated a 0.88 correct classification probability for predicting 10 minutes into the future. Further tests are required to provide a more comprehensive evaluation. SIRS Predictor/Detector : a prototype has been developed and successfully demonstrated that it can detect, if not predict, persistent episodes of SIRS which have a duration of several hours, indicative of a serious underlying clinical condition. Investigations have revealed that the inability of the Intelligent Alarm to 'predict' on certain occasions leading only to a 'detection' capability arises as a consequence of unreliable monitoring equipment. Bacterial Infection Predictor/Detector : the prototype unoptimised version has not been tested on any significant clinical events due to limitations of available patient data.
