Define before testing
Specify the research question, measurements and evaluation criteria before examining their relationship with outcomes.
INDEPENDENT PHYSIOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Understanding
the dynamics
of deterioration.
Exploring how physiological signals change over time, and whether those changes can reveal earlier signs of instability.
RESEARCH STATUS
Experimental retrospective research.
Clinical validity and utility have not yet been established.
01 / RESEARCH FOCUS
Beyond a single
measurement.
A physiological measurement captures a moment. TCEG investigates what we can learn from the way measurements change.
Our current work explores physiological dynamics in recorded critical care data. The aim is to test whether patterns over time provide useful information about future deterioration, beyond what conventional measurements already tell us.
Earlier warning is a research objective. Its reliability, generalisability and practical value must be demonstrated through evaluation.
02 / RESEARCH APPROACH
Evidence before claims.
Clear definitions, reproducible methods
and conclusions that follow the evidence.
Make it reproducible
Record source provenance and preserve the code and data specifications needed to reproduce an analysis.
Test beyond discovery
Use separate evaluation data and seek independent replication before making broader claims.
Report what we find
Treat null findings, contradictory results and data limitations as part of the research, not something to work around.
03 / ABOUT
An independent
research project.
Kevin Wharram
Project lead · Cyber security consultant
TCEG brings a background in monitoring complex systems to questions about physiological change. Kevin leads the project as an independent research effort.
The current focus is retrospective investigation. Any future clinical application would require further validation, prospective evaluation and appropriate oversight.
Current scope
TCEG is not a clinically validated monitoring system and is not intended to guide diagnosis or treatment.
