  • Publication number: 20230260643
    Abstract: A system and process monitor a patient with an evaluation unit (1), a first interface (2) for receiving patient status values from a plurality of medical devices (3) to be available to the evaluation unit (1). The evaluation unit (1) generates a signal with patient-specific information based on the received patient status values and a further setpoint and/or actual value and transmits the signal to a receiver unit (5) via the first and/or a second interface (4). The evaluation unit (1) includes a suggestion module (6) that determines a suggested value which corresponds to a limit value for at least one patient status value based on the patient status values obtained from at least two medical devices (3) and the further setpoint and/or actual value, and to transmit this suggested value to the receiving unit (5) via the first and/or the at least one second interface (2, 4).

  • Publication number: 20220165422
    Abstract: A device generating a medical knowledge model, a medical knowledge model system for a formalized application of medical knowledge, a process generating a medical knowledge model, a process for the formalized application of medical knowledge, and a computer program are provided. The device (10) for generating a medical knowledge model includes a processing device (11), which is configured for providing at least one element from a standardized nomenclature for a user, for adding the at least one element from the standardized nomenclature to the medical knowledge model according to a selection of the user, and for storing a logic or a rule with regard to the at least one element concerning at least one element parameter according to a definition of the user. The device (10) includes one or more interfaces (12), which are configured for providing the medical knowledge model and for receiving a user input.

  • Publication number: 20220143316
    Abstract: A device, a system including the device, to a process and to a computer program for controlling the administration of a drug to a patient. The device (10) comprises a processing device (11) configured to receive information concerning vital data of the patient (31), generation of a control signal in relation to a control parameter for controlling the administration of a drug with a drug administration unit (21) to the patient (31) on the basis of the information received concerning vital data of the patient. The device (10) comprises, furthermore, an interface (12), which is configured for providing the control signal for the drug administration unit (21).

  • Publication number: 20210287810
    Abstract: A medical system (100), for providing a treatment recommendation (105), includes an archiving module (110) providing a structured patient archive (130) with a respective patient data set (132) for each of several patients. The patient data set indicates a course of treatment (520) and a treatment result (530) of the corresponding patient. At least one digital patient profile (134), indicating features of the treatment course (542, 542?, 542?) and treatment result (544), is assigned to the patient data set. A processing module receives current patient data (142) recorded by an external medical device (140) and determines a current patient data set (124) with a corresponding current digital patient profile (125) and compares the current digital patient profile with the stored digital patient profiles of the archiving module and determines the treatment recommendation based on this comparison and outputs a treatment signal (128) that indicates the determined treatment recommendation.

  • Patent number: 10984908
    Abstract: A medical device includes a network interface, a processor unit, a memory unit, an actuator physiologically acting on a patient and/or a sensor interface detecting a sensor signal indicative of a patient physiological parameter. The network interface receives a sender network identity data message, a sender authorization level and a sender change request to change an actuator operating parameter and/or a predefined alarm detection value. The memory unit provides a predefined minimum authorization level. The processor unit determines an actual authorization of the sender to change the operating parameter and/or to predefine a value on the basis of the sender authorization level and of the predefined minimum authorization level as well as to change the operating parameter as a function of the result of the determination and/or to perform a detection of an alarm generation state as a function of the indicated predefined value and of the sensor signal.
