1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of current patient parameters of the patient in response to a request to calculate a weaning index for a patient housed in a thermoregulated environment;
sending the plurality of current patient parameters to a weaning assistant configured to calculate the weaning index based on the plurality of current patient parameters and historical data for a plurality of prior patients previously housed in a thermoregulated microenvironment;
receiving the weaning index from the weaning assistant;
displaying the weaning index on a display device;
upon displaying the weaning index, receiving one or more subsequent patient outcomes, the one or more subsequent patient outcomes including whether the patient was readmitted to the microenvironment within a duration since being weaned from the microenvironment, whether the patient developed any complications within the duration since being weaned from the microenvironment, or ambient conditions when the patient was weaned from the microenvironment; and
providing the one or more subsequent patient outcomes to the weaning assistant for updating a weaning model based on the one or more received subsequent patient outcomes,
wherein the request to calculate the weaning index is generated upon completion of a weaning protocol, and wherein the weaning protocol gradually reduces a temperature of the microenvironment until the temperature reaches ambient temperature.
