21st century analytics of continuous vital sign data to prevent diseases in neonates. This illustration depicts a three step-approach combining: a) single or multi-tier analytics of vital signs, b) careful clinical assessment, and c) auxiliary blood and other imaging studies to prevent and decrease morbidity from life-threatening illnesses.
