Background: Cardiovascular Disease • Prevalence—64.4 million (22.6%) • 25.3 million age 65 or older • 7.8 million suffered heart attack • 5 million congestive heart failure • 4.8 million suffered stroke • Mortality—930,000 (38.5% of all deaths) • Extended clinical treatment • 6.2 million patients • Health care cost—$370 billion • Adequate health care resources are not available for all patients! (source) Data for Americans in 2001 by American Heart Association (2004)
Medical Informatics Vision • Develop information technology: • Address primary challenges in disease detection • Early detection of disease increases success of treatment • Early detection of stroke reduces resulting disability • Improve likelihood of positive outcome • Reduce healthcare costs • Particular focus on cardiovascular disease • Enable a transition from subjective to objective diagnostics • Based on diverse data sources • Need information on patients in the real world
Medical Informatics: Need for Continuous Patient Monitoring • Acquire data from patients in the real world • Currently available wearable systems • Simply acquire and forward information to centralized server systems • Some event detection being developed • Limitations • Practical wearable sensor choices are limited • Diagnostics capability is also, therefore, limited • (Often, many diverse sensor and instrument data sources are required for evidence to support a diagnostic hypothesis)
Approach for Individualized Diagnosis • Recognize that limited wearable sensors are not sufficient to form a high certainty hypothesis regarding patient diagnosis • New MEDIC approach exploits fusion of: • Local (limited) sensor population • Local, networked instruments • Local information processing • Evidence from centralized data resources • Data from direct patient query • Responses to limited and standard verbal queries • SF36 Standard • Require local reasoning by wearable to identify high utility actions • Leverage considerable experience and technology in UCLA Medical Informatics

Bayesian Network Diagnostic Approach • Exploit extensive Medical Informatics experience in Bayesian automated reasoning for diagnostics • Exploit UCLA SamIam tool of Professor Darwiche • A Bayesian Network consists of two parts • A directed acyclic graph (DAG) representing influence among a set of variables • A set of conditional probability tables (CPT) that quantify these influences • The DAG model • may be constructed by domain experts • Conditional probability tables • Can be trained with historical data or assigned by domain experts
