A patient monitor device includes one or more sensors which measure physiological parameters of a patient, a controller which controls an audio source to generate an audible tone and adjust the pitch or frequency of the audible tone to indicate the measured physiological parameter according to a mapping scheme, the audio source which generates the audible tone, and an audio output device which outputs the audible tone. The mapping scheme clamping a frequency of the audible tone after reaching a predetermined threshold.

SpO2 tone modulation with audible lower clamp value

A method, and corresponding system (), for monitoring patients based on activity state and posture. Activity state and/or posture of a patient are measured. Further, one or more vital signs of the patient are measured according to a schedule. Based on the measured activity state and/or posture of the patient and the measured one or more vital signs, the schedule is adjusted and/or patient deterioration is monitored for.

Patient monitoring for sub-acute patients based on activity state and posture

A medical device (), medical method and graphical user interface (GUI) () displaying data regarding measurement of a physiological parameter. A window () for the physiological parameter is displayed using a display device (). The window () includes an indicator () identifying a measured value of the physiological parameter. In response to automatic trigger of measurement of the physiological parameter, the window () is updated to further include a first indicator () indicating measurement of the physiological parameter is ongoing. In response to manual trigger of measurement of the physiological parameter, the window () is updated to replace the indicator () identifying the measured value with a second indicator () indicating measurement of the physiological parameter is ongoing. The second indicator () is prominent relative to the first indicator ().

Early confirmation of a prolonged aperiodic measurement

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 patient data acquisition system () to acquire patient data via patient physiological sensors (). A first patient monitor display () and first audio system () is disposed inside a patient room. A second patient monitor display () and audio system () is disposed outside the patient room. A control system () outputs acquired patient data via at least one of the first patient monitor display and the second patient monitor display and outputs a patient audio monitor signal () generated based at least in part on acquired patient data using at least one of the first and second audio systems (). The control system () provides a first audio configuration () for operating the first audio system () and a second audio configuration () for operating the second audio system ().

Multiple independent audio spheres for patient monitor

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 patient monitor system () includes a signal processor () which analyzes signals from physiological parameter sensors () to derive physiological data values, plots, and alarms. A display () displays physiological values and plots (). An advisor engine, routine, or processor () is connected with the signal processor to analyze at least alarm occurrences, also in combination with user interactions, and provide directly actionable advice for reducing alarm frequency which is displayed unobtrusively on the display. The directly actionable advice includes specific actions or adjustments which are specific to a current patient, a present situation, or a present mode or setting of the patient monitor system. The unobtrusively displayed directly actionable advice is displayed without the use requesting it.

Unobtrusive advisors for patient monitor

A presentation on a display screen of objects of a user interface which can be freely positioned and scaled by means of control elements is optimized. This is realized by a predetermined calculation rule in such a manner that the objects can be automatically varied between a still readable minimum size and a selected maximum size in dependence on the object contents, selected preferred settings and the available display resource on the display screen, and that the available display screen surface is optimally filled, possibly while eliminating less important details of the object contents and while changing the display mode of the object contents and/or the object as well as while avoiding mutual overlapping of the objects.

Method of optimizing the presentation on a display screen of objects of a user interface which can be freely positioned and scaled by means of control elements

A system and a method for monitoring a physiological parameter of a patient providing a measurement-modulated acoustic signal () after/when a measurement value of the monitored physiological parameter exceeds an alarm limit.

Alarm activated acoustic measuring signals for patient monitoring

A patient monitoring system includes a plurality of patient monitors, each for monitoring the physiological condition of a local patient connected with respective patient monitor, whereby the patient monitors provide a data-communication with each other. Each patient monitor comprises a display adapted for displaying information representative of the physiological condition of the local patient. The display of at least one of the patient monitors comprises an overview area for displaying status information from one or more of the other patient monitors.

Patient monitor with continuous status display

A centralized patient monitoring system includes a central station which receives patient information from bedside monitors. The patient information is presented on a video display screen and may include patient demographic information, physiological parameters and a waveform. The display screen is divided into sectors, with each sector containing information for one patient. When an alarm condition occurs at one of the bedside monitors, the alarm condition is transmitted to the central station and is displayed in the corresponding sector of the video display screen. In addition, the alarm condition is highlighted by changing the background in the alarming sector from its normal color, typically black, to a neutral color such as blue, which is easily distinguishable from the normal color and which does not obscure the patient information being displayed. The background of the sector is changed back to the normal color when the alarm is acknowledged by a user. The highlighted background is easily visible from a distance and provides a clear indication of unacknowledged alarms without obscuring other patient information.

Method for use of color and selective highlighting to indicate patient

An input device, in particular for a medical monitoring system, comprises a keyboard, a screen and a control processor. The keyboard comprises various hardkeys enabling access to an object mode in which the user may enter an object to be manipulated. Once an object is selected, the device enters a task/action mode in which the user may define an action to be performed on the selected object.
