Publication number: 20230298742Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Douglas Paul Fenster, Robert Christopher Rogers, Alexander Dennis Fries, Allen R.

Publication number: 20210065856Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Craig M. Meyerson, Eric P Jensen, Stacey Ann Fitzgibbons, Jotpreet Chahal, Kirsten Emmons, Lori Ann Zapfe

Patent number: 10880289Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: Eric P. Jensen, Michael D. Hoch, Stacie L. Brough
