Patent number: 9924908Abstract: A patient monitor system (10) includes a signal processor (30) which analyzes signals from physiological parameter sensors (20) to derive physiological data values, plots, and alarms. A display (12) displays physiological values and plots (42). An advisor engine, routine, or processor (34) is connected with the signal processor to analyze at least alarm occurrences, also in combination with user interactions, and provide directly actionable advice for reducing alarm frequency which is displayed unobtrusively on the display. The directly actionable advice includes specific actions or adjustments which are specific to a current patient, a present situation, or a present mode or setting of the patient monitor system. The unobtrusively displayed directly actionable advice is displayed without the use requesting it.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Volker Manfred Hubert, Wilhelm Meier, Bernd Gunter Werner Wilm, Johannes Marcus Josef Eduard Bauer, Harald Greiner, Benedikt Latz, Gerhard Tivig, Axel Joachim Lange, Vitor Manuel Vicente Antunes, Joseph James Frassica

Patent number: 9445764Abstract: When monitoring physiological parameters (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, etc.) of a patient, a threshold limit (30) is set (e.g., automatically or manually) and the monitored parameter is continuously compared to the threshold limit, which may be constant or may vary with time. An alarm (36) is triggered if the monitored parameter exceeds the threshold limit at any time, or if the monitored parameter has not reached a target value by the end of a predefined time period by which an administered drug or therapy should have been effective.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Brian D.

Patent number: 5860918Abstract: A medical monitoring device includes a system for monitoring and recording physiological parameters of a patient. The monitored physiological parameters are compared by a comparator with a predetermined threshold or an alarm limitassociated with the respective physiological parameter, the presence of an event being detected, if a physiological parameter exceeds the associated threshold or the associated alarm limit for a predetermined period of time, depending on an operation mode set by a user. If the presence of an event is detected, the fact that an event was detected, the parameter value which caused the event and, optionally, further recorded parameter values as well as the respective time at which the event was detected are stored in a memory. Finally, the medical monitoring device includes a display on which a representation of the events which were stored during a predetermined, preceding period of time is produced in relation to time.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1997Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Thomas Schradi, Gerhard Tivig
