Abstract

Early Warning Score (EWS) systems are utilized in hospitals by health-care professionals to interpret vital signals of patients. These scores are used to measure and predict amelioration or deterioration of patients’ health status to intervene in an appropriate manner when needed. Based on an earlier work presenting an automated Internet-of-Things based EWS system, we propose an architecture to analyze and enhance data reliability and consistency. In particular, we present a hierarchical agent-based data confidence evaluation system to detect erroneous or irrelevant vital signal measurements. In our extensive experiments, we demonstrate how our system offers a more robust EWS monitoring system.
