Abstract: A method for monitoring a patient includes detecting a personal device of the patient, sending an invitation to connect to the personal device, and receiving health data from the personal device when the invitation is accepted. The method further includes determining stabilized values for one or more physiological variables of the patient based on the health data, and adjusting one or more alarm settings based on the stabilized values.

Abstract: A device for monitoring a patient displays a nuisance button on a display device, receives clinician feedback from a selection of the nuisance button, and pauses an active alarm in response to the clinician feedback. The device identifies one or more alarm settings responsible for the clinician feedback and adjusts the one or more alarm settings based on the clinician feedback. The device records the clinician feedback in a device usage log for monitoring usage of the nuisance button. The device generates an alarm notification based on the active alarm, and classifies the alarm notification into a first group in which the alarm notification is a push notification or a second group in which the alarm notification is a pull notification.

Abstract: A patient monitoring device initiates an interval mode that includes measuring blood pressure at predetermined intervals over a predetermined period of time. The device takes a first blood pressure measurement at one of the predetermined intervals, and determines whether the first blood pressure measurement is abnormal. The device takes a second blood pressure measurement after a predetermined delay when the first blood pressure measurement is determined abnormal. The device compares the first and second blood pressure measurements to confirm whether the first blood pressure measurement is abnormal. The device triggers an alarm when the first blood pressure measurement is confirmed as abnormal.
