Welcome to the UCR Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Site

 

This page is designed to report progress on our NSF funded project: IIS - 1161997 II: Medium: Hardware/Software Accelerated Data Mining for Real-Time Monitoring of Streaming Pediatric ICU Data. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of NSF, and the moral support of our program director.

Abstract:

On any given day in America, there are at least one thousand children fighting for their lives in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). In the PICU the patient's condition is carefully monitored. Most of this data is shown in a five-minute “sliding window” display, so a doctor summoned to a patient’s bedside always has her most recent history to consider. However what happens to the data that “falls off” this sliding window? In most PICUs, a tiny fraction of it is coarsely aggregated and recorded, but surprisingly, most of this data is simply discarded.  Even if most or all the data is recorded, its sheer volume simply overwhelms researchers and analysts; very few tools exist to help them make sense of and learn from this data.

We believe that this currently discarded data is a potential goldmine of actionable knowledge that could improve outcomes (decreased mortality/morbidity, reduce pain, etc.), and reduce costs (implicit in reduced length of stay).  However, the very nature of this data—multivariate, heterogeneous, high dimensional, temporal, noisy, biased, and high frequency—poses significant challenges for traditional analytical techniques from statistics and data mining.

In this proposal we plan to investigate two tightly coupled ideas:

Our project brings together experts in data mining (Keogh, Tsotras), high performance computing (Najjar) and medicine (Wetzel) to investigate holistic solutions to the above problems.
