Patent number: 11373737Abstract: A dynamic medical object information base (DMOIB) is used with a communication protocol. A medical object information base (MOIB) may generally define rules of creation and modification of data defined for use in medical products. A dynamic version of the MOIB adapts to changing data classifications. DMOIB is preferably compatible with non-dynamic MOIB systems. DMOIB preferably reduces code space and simplifies management of software projects. DMOIB may allow for an entirely dynamic system using a discovery/negotiation process for determining full features of a device. DMOIB may also allow for generation of a dynamic interface to handle data from devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James J. DelloStritto, Chad E. Craw, Song Y. Chung, Ronald J. Blaszak, Frank LoMascolo

Patent number: 10790058Abstract: A physiological parameter display device displays data representing the current values of one or more physiological parameters of a patient. The device has an operating system that does not allow multiple-program execution. A program runs on the operating system. The program provides functionality that gives a user of the device an ability to install virtual applications on the device. In addition, the program provides functionality that gives the user an ability to run the virtual applications on the device while the device continues to display data representing the current value of the physiological parameter of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: Christopher M. Keegan, Frank LoMascolo, Kenzi Mudge

Publication number: 20150342538Abstract: A method for providing an early warning system for a patient includes: allowing a caregiver to select among a plurality of early warning score protocols; allowing the caregiver to modify the selected early warning score protocol; automatically calculating an early warning score for the patient; and displaying the early warning score for the caregiver. A medical device includes at least one health care equipment module configured to measure a physiological parameter of a patient. The medical device is configured to allow the caregiver to select among a plurality of early warning score protocols. The early warning score protocols may be targeted to specific patients based on demographic information. The medical device also allows the caregiver to modify the selected early warning score protocol. The medical device also automatically calculates an early warning score for the patient using a physiological parameter captured by the at least one health care equipment module.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Shawn C.

Patent number: 8856380Abstract: A communications protocol interface may be configured as being divisible into a core portion and an extensible portion. The extensible portion of the communications protocol interface may be further configured so that each network element can communicate a unique and optimally small subset of actual interoperable data that corresponds to at least a portion of a larger defined data set. A software generator program may be configured to generate a set of extensible source code that operates upon the subset of actual data and that directs the execution of the extensible portion of the communications protocol interface for a particular network element.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James J. DelloStritto, Ronald J. Blaszak, Chad E. Craw, Cory Russell Gondek, Frank LoMascolo, Eric G. Petersen, Kenneth G. West, Albert Goldfain, Mahesh Narayan, Song Y. Chung

Patent number: 8543999Abstract: A communications protocol interface is configured as being divisible into a core portion and an extensible portion. The extensible portion of the communications protocol interface is further configured to be customized in scope so that each network element can communicate a unique and optionally small, subset of actual interoperable data that corresponds to at least a portion of a larger defined data set. A software generator program is configured to generate a set of extensible source code that operates upon the subset of actual data and that directs the execution of the extensible portion of the communications protocol interface for a particular network element.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James J.

Patent number: 8484612Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating source code from XML formatted device data sheets. Information is accepted from a user regarding whether data definitions, string tables and/or link tables are needed in a software project. Files are created corresponding to the data definitions, string tables and/or link tables. The files are then collected and compiled into resultant source code. An application generator performs the compilation of the input files into source code. The resultant source code may be incorporated into a software development project and may be updated when needed.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James J.

Patent number: 8024421Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for communicating between network devices. A data dictionary may be derived from a device data sheet. The data dictionary may include one or more data definitions specific to the network device and a global unique identifier for the network device. The data dictionary and data are received from the network device. Data definitions from the data dictionary are used to extract and process information from the data. The data dictionary may include a hierarchal classification scheme for data including a first level, a second level and a third level, wherein the first level defines a type of data, wherein the second level defines a type of action, and wherein the third level defines an object of the action.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: Chad E.
