  • Publication number: 20240122528
    Abstract: A system for monitoring sepsis in a healthcare facility. The system calculates sepsis scores for a patient using physiological parameter data captured by one or more sensors. The system generates a sepsis score trend based on the sepsis scores, and generates a predicted sepsis trend based on the sepsis scores and a treatment administered to the patient. The system displays the predicted sepsis trend over the sepsis score trend. The system can further display a summary including a sepsis status and a treatment status for a plurality of patients in the healthcare facility.

  • Publication number: 20240105329
    Abstract: A medical device for assessing a health status of a patient is described. The medical device receives a selection of two or more health scores, and obtains physiological parameter measurements from one or more sensor modules based on the selection of the two or more health scores. The medical device generates the two or more health scores using the physiological parameter measurements received from the one or more sensor modules. The two or more health scores are generated based on a workflow for assessing the patient. The medical device displays the two or more health scores on a display screen.

  • Publication number: 20240064274
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes an electronic control unit (ECU), a plurality of exterior viewing vehicle cameras that capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. When the vehicle is towing a trailer, a rearward-viewing trailer camera captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU. A video mirror display screen is disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and is operable to display video images derived from video image data provided from the ECU. The mirror assembly is adjustable between a mirror mode and a display mode. The mirror assembly, when in the display mode, is operable by the driver of the vehicle to display at the video mirror display screen (i) a single image display of video images, (ii) a dual image display of video images or (iii) a three image display of video images.

  • Publication number: 20240000371
    Abstract: A vital signs monitor for detecting sepsis in a patient includes a housing. At least one vital sign sensor is coupled to the housing and is configured to obtain at least one vital sign from a patient. A display is positioned on an outer surface of the housing. A controller is embedded in the housing and is operable to receive a vital sign signal from the at least one vital sign sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230190209
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230190208
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230165540
    Abstract: A device for monitoring a patient determines a set of predicted physiological variables using a model trained from physiological variables collected from the patient. The device receives a set of measured physiological variables and a motion measurement. The device compares the set of measured physiological variables to the set of predicted physiological variables to determine a residual vector. The device classifies the residual vector using a vector motion error based on the motion measurement, and performs an action based on the classification of the residual vector.

  • Publication number: 20230063782
    Abstract: A device for monitoring a physiological variable determines a starting value for a self-adjusting alarm limit based on an abnormal state of the physiological variable. The device determines a new value for the self-adjusting alarm limit from physiological data values received during a time window. When the new value for the self-adjusting alarm limit moves in a targeted direction, the device resets the self-adjusting alarm limit at the new value.

  • Publication number: 20220287565
    Abstract: An example method includes identifying at least one first parameter of a patient detected during a time interval and identifying a second parameter of the patient detected during the time interval. A position of the individual during the time interval is determined based on the second parameter. Based on determining that the position of the patient is substantially unchanged during the time interval, the example further includes transmitting data identifying the patient and indicating the at least one first parameter to an electronic medical record (EMR) system.

  • Publication number: 20150040310
    Abstract: A jet pump associated with a heat source, such as a heating element or heating coils, is disclosed. The heating element is located in a housing chamber and coaxially with an impeller. An electrical motor rotates the impeller and circulates water within the chamber and between coils of the heating element. The heated water is then discharged into a basin found in a pedicure chair or other devices requiring agitated, heated water.
