A patient monitor for monitoring a patient includes a sensor interface (), a communication interface (), a user interface (), and a patient identification unit () for identifying the patient to be monitored. A processor () processes obtained sensor signals, received information and/or user input to obtain patient-related data, and a controller () controls said communication interface () to retrieve patient context information including information related to the patient, once the patient has been identified by the patient identification unit (), available in a central administration system () from said central administration system () and/or other patient monitors (-) and controls said processor () to take received patient context information into account in the processing to obtain patient-related data.

Patient monitor and method for monitoring a patient

A medical device and caretaking management system () includes a plurality of medical devices () that transmit equipment data and patient data. A central or distributed monitoring system () receives the equipment data and patient data from the plurality of medical devices, derives an acuity for each of the patients, and assigns caregivers and equipment based on the derived acuity for display on a display device ().

System and method for providing medical caregiver and equipment management patient care

A patient monitoring system includes a display that displays a plurality of sectors including one or more icons. A controller is configured to display patient data received from a patient monitoring system in a corresponding sector of the display. The controller programmed to determine patient status from the patient data and display the patient status as an icon on the display. The icon is color-coded with the severity or deviation from normal of the patient status. The icon can also include an arrow that indicates if the patient status is improving or deteriorating.

Graphical presentation of EWS/patient state

A controlling device () is configured for controlling a state of an alarm limit of an alarm device (). The alarm device () is configured for generating an alarm signal in association with a monitored physiological parameter of a patient. The alarm limit triggers the generation of the alarm signal. In order to automatically control the state of the alarm limit, the controlling device () comprises a receiving unit () configured for receiving information indicating an administration of a treatment to the patient, a determining unit () configured for determining whether the treatment is administered to the patient based on the received information, and a controlling unit () configured for controlling the state of the alarm limit based on a result of the determination of the determining unit ().

Device for controlling the alarm limit of an alarm device

The invention relates to a patient monitoring system comprising at least one monitoring unit () for monitoring the physiological status of a patient and a host system () comprising a network of access points () for wireless reception of physiological status data. Each monitoring unit () is provided to transmit physiological status data to the access points at selected points of time, together with time related data indicating the expected point of time of the next data transmission. The invention further relates to a respective method for monitoring the physiological status of a patient.

Wireless patient monitoring system and method for monitoring the physiological status of a patient having a network access point

The invention concerns a system for monitoring and controlling a patient (), with a patient sensor () for capturing a patient signal, and a user interface () for providing a user with information on the captured patient signal, wherein the system comprises an integrated closed loop controller () which is fed with the patient signal and which controls a patient treating device () for treating the patient (). Thus, an easy and efficient way of monitoring and controlling a patient is provided.
