METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS ASSAY DATA

摘要

A method is disclosed for presenting data from an assay relating to thrombosis-hemostasis on an unknown sample (103), and data from a plurality of assays relating to thrombosis-hemostasis from known sample populations. Data is provided from at least one time dependent measurement profile for each of a plurality of known blood samples and a respective property over time is measured so as to derive at least one time-dependent measurement (101) for an unknown blood sample (103). Data from these steps are transformed to one or more predictor variables (110) from which a topological feature map (113) is created which has spatial locations that correspond to intrinsic features of the predictor variables (110). A determination is made of the position on the map (113) of the unknown sample (103) corresponding to its set of predictor variables (110) and then a presentation is made of the data from the unknown blood sample time-dependent measurement profile (101) relative to the data from the known blood sample time-dependent measurement profile.
