Abstract

Claims (33)

1 . A system comprising:

one or more processors;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of operations including:

receiving a request for a thermal pad set recommendation for use with an identified patient from a clinician device,

accessing an electronic medical record (EMR) for the identified patient,

retrieving values for a first set of patient parameters for the identified patient from the EMR,

determining the thermal pad set recommendation according to the values for the first set of patient parameters in combination with a pad set correlation table, and

displaying the thermal pad set recommendation on the clinician device; and

a thermal contact pad set configured for application to a patient undergoing a targeted temperature management (TTM) therapy and corresponding to the thermal pad set recommendation including at least one of a torso pad chosen from a plurality of torso pads having different dimensions or a thigh pad chosen from a plurality of thigh pads having different dimensions wherein the TTM therapy includes circulating a TTM fluid through the at least one of the torso pad or the thigh pad.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the thermal contact pad set comprises at least one torso pad and at least one thigh pad.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the thermal contact pad set comprises at least more than one thigh pad or more than one torso pad.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of patient parameters comprises a weight of the patient and a height of the patient.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the first set of patient parameters further comprises a gender of the patient or a body fat percentage of the patient.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving values for a second set of patient parameters from the clinician device.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the second set of patient parameters comprises at least one of a pant waist size, a pant inseam size, or a shoe size of the identified patient.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the second set of patient parameters comprises at least two of a pant waist size, a pant inseam size, or a shoe size of the identified patient.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein determining the thermal pad set recommendation comprises:

determining an initial pad set recommendation for use with the identified patient in accordance with values of a third set of patient parameters;

refining the thermal pad set recommendation in accordance with values of a fourth set of patient parameters in combination with the values of the third set of patient parameters, and

wherein rendering the thermal pad set recommendation on the clinician device comprises rendering the refined thermal pad set recommendation.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the refined thermal pad set recommendation is different from the initial pad set recommendation.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the third set of patient parameters comprises one or more of the first set of patient parameters, and wherein the fourth set of patient parameters comprises one or more of the second set of patient parameters.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the third set of patient parameters comprises a weight and/or a height of the identified patient.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the fourth set of patient parameters comprises a pant waist size and/or a pant inseam size of the identified patient.

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

accessing a facility inventory system; and

determining an availability of the thermal pad set recommendation in inventory.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein if the thermal contact pad set is not available in inventory, the operations further comprise:

determining an alternative pad set; and

displaying the alternative pad set on the clinician device.

16 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the thermal pad set recommendation according to the values of a first set of patient parameters is performed using a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning model receives as input one or more patient parameter values and provides one or more resultant scores.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein a highest resultant score is provided as a recommended thermal pad set.

18 . The system of claim 9 , wherein values for the first set of patient parameters are retrieved from the EMR.
