Multivariate Time Series Amalgams (MTSAs) provide an integrated, multivariate approach to representing clinical and physiological data. The hybrid representation automates the personalization of baselines and thresholds based on a patient’s medical history while also incorporating traditional baselines and thresholds. The visualization of this representation captures the rate of change of provider-selected parameters and the relationships among them. It groups parameters according to their influence on four vital organs: the heart, lung, kidney, and liver. A novel similarity metric for this representation, inspired by wavelets and Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX), is the cornerstone to the development of a search engine for large medical databases.
