Monitoring the vital status of an aging population especially those with chronic diseases can potentially reduce the multiple emergency room visits and hospitalizations if patients and care providers are provided with information that might help them make informed decisions on appropriate cause of actions. This process can be enabled by utilizing temporal abstraction and deriving temporal patterns in order to understand the underlying temporal relationships on vital status in data collected from patients participating in telehealth programs in combination with other data sets in order to get a complete patient flow. Such discovery can highlight when an elderly patient is at risk of an adverse event and this is information that can be utilized for provision of appropriate care for the patient. This paper demonstrates application of a method for deriving temporal patterns from patient's physiological data thereby quantifying the many states a patient can transition to before, during and after an adverse event. With this approach, it is possible to quantify patients with vital scores based on their physiology.
