Interactive Adaptive Control of Physiological Systems

这是一种及时的电气/计算机工程方法，用于解决生理变量的自动控制这一难题。一个新的时代正在出现，即“智能系统”的时代，即具有足够大的CPU(中央处理单元)的计算机/控制器的时代，能够进行“判断”的能力可以被编程。这项建议利用这种能力，通过分析模拟的生理数据来对模拟患者的身体状况做出判断；然后，计算机命令对不断变化的患者状况做出适当的反应。这些输入数据可能相当复杂，例如包括静脉输注药物。

This is a timely electrical/computer engineering approach to the difficult problem of producing automatic control of physiological variables. A new era is emerging, namely, that of "smart systems", ie., computers/controllers that have sufficiently large CPUs (central processing units) that the ability to make "judgments" can be programmed. This proposal utilizes this capability to "make judgments" on the physical condition of a simulated patient by analyzing simulated physiological data; the computer then commands an appropriate response to a changing patient condition. This input data can be quite complex such as the inclusion of intravenous drug infusion.
