Publication number: 20180260530Abstract: A patient monitoring system includes patient identification transmitters that each transmit a patient identifier and clinician identification transmitters that each transmit a clinician identifier. Identification receivers are arranged in a care facility to receive patient identifiers and the clinician identifiers. A location tracking system determines a patient location within the care facility for each patient identification transmitter based on a location of receipt of the patient identifier, and determines a clinician location for each clinician identification transmitter based on the location of receipt of the clinician identifier. A mapping module is executable to receive the patient locations and the clinician locations, and locate the patient locations and the clinician locations on a map of the care facility. It then displays a patient location indicator for each patient location and a clinician location indicator for each clinician location on the map of the care facility.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2017Publication date: September 13, 2018Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Magnus Kall, Matthew Grubis, Scott Fuller, Eliana Stein, Stephen Treacy

Patent number: 8519867Abstract: The system and method of the present application includes a wireless transmitter adapted to receive physiological signals from a patient and to wirelessly transmit the physiological signals to a receiver, where a display device prepares the physiological signal for display on a display monitor. In one embodiment, both the wireless transmitter and receiver further include an estimation algorithm module. The estimation algorithm module in each of the wireless transmitter and the receiver calculate a physiological signal based on a collected signal. The system displays the calculated, estimated signal unless the error of the estimated signal reaches a predetermined threshold. When the estimated signal is being displayed, no transmission from the wireless transmitter is necessary.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Michael J. Palmer, Matthew Grubis

Patent number: 8488499Abstract: The present application includes a system and method that provisions at least two (2) receivers in a topology that allows each receiver to acquire wireless communication signals through different diverse antenna fields. Each receiver acquires the signal, and demodulates, decodes and sends data to the data terminal component. The data terminal component resolves packet alignment issues and selects the best data. This improves system reliability and reduces the system susceptibility to data corruption or loss of data due to signal fading that might occur on a single antenna field. Provisioning a wireless system in this manner reduces the likelihood that the same fading phenomena, resulting from either multipath and/or shadowing affects, impair signal reception causing data dropout or loss of data.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Louis M. Frigo, Neal Seidl, Matthew Grubis, Lee Zielinski, Alan Owan, Peter Arndt, Peter Jager, Syedsaad Ali, Karina Carvalho-Bond
