Monitoring information providing device and method

Abstract

Information regarding a patient's physiological signs is provided in real-time, in particular in conjunction with drug administration to the patient. A patient data input obtains patient data of a monitored patient. A drug identification input obtains drug administration data identifying a drug administered to the patient and the time of administration of the drug to the patient. A drug information input obtains drug information about the identified drug, including drug side effects and/or drug-drug interactions and/or drug-disease contraindications. A processing unit determines time-resolved monitoring information based on the obtained patient data, drug administration data and drug information. The monitoring information is dynamically adapted and one or more physiological signs of the patient that are most critical to monitor over time are indicated. An output interface outputs the monitoring information.
