摘要

System and method for identifying a prospective clinical therapy for a prospective patient. The patient has a medical device, performed with a medical apparatus. The system has a historical database and an analyzer. The historical database incorporates information relating to a multiplicity of patients, each of the multiplicity of patients having a medical device and each of the multiplicity of patients having undergone a clinical therapy, the information including, for each of the multiplicity of patients, device characteristics of the medical device and an assessment of efficacy of clinical therapy. The analyzer correlates device characteristics of the prospective patient with the device characteristics and the assessment of efficacy of clinical therapy of the multiplicity of patients using the historical database to identify a prospective clinical therapy for the prospective patient associated with the device characteristics in the historical database having a relatively greater efficacy than the clinical therapy.
