  • Publication number: 20230298742
    Abstract: Software of devices, such as medical devices or other constrained devices configured to implement specific functions, can use content files to determine text strings or other content values to present in association with user interface elements. Devices can receive relevant content files, such as new versions of previously-stored content files or new content files containing text in different languages, from a remote content file repository. The software of the devices can accordingly update content values presented in user interfaces based on newly received content files, without the software being re-coded, the software being restarted, or the devices rebooting.

  • Publication number: 20210065856
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed towards a patient management system for selectively storing and/or sharing patient data. A wearable device may sense a condition associated with the wearer of the wearable device, and store values based on the condition for a period of time. The wearable device may determine that the wearable device is within range of another device, such that the wearable device can communicate with the other device, and output the values to the other device. Additionally, a computing device of the patient management system may receive, from a wearable device, first data associated with a condition of a wearer of the wearable device. The computing device may also receive second data associated with the condition from a sensing device. The computing device may determine a context of the wearer based on comparing the first and second data, and control output of an alert based on the context.

  • Patent number: 10880289
    Abstract: A medical facility environment includes medical devices, single-sign on system devices, and an identity access management system (IAMS). A clinician logs into an electronic medical record system and/or facility workstation, typically at the start of a shift. Successful login opens a valid user session with the IAMS. Thereafter, clinicians having valid user sessions can record, save, and/or transmit patient vital signs by providing, only, a clinician identifier associated with the valid user session.

  • Publication number: 20190142343
    Abstract: A system for providing continuous monitoring of a patient while reducing false alarms includes a first monitor device configured to measure one or more physiological attributes associated with the patient, a second monitor device configured to measure patient motion, and a processor coupled with the first monitor device and the second monitor device. The processor is configured to generate an alarm, based on data from the first monitor device corresponding to the one or more physiological attributes, and is further configured to suppress the alarm, based at least in part on the patient motion measured by the second monitor device, to reduce false alarms.
