  • Vision screening apparatus with a visual acuity protocol compliance feature and an associated method of vision screening
    Patent number: 11471042
    Abstract: A vision screening apparatus includes first and second display units, a processor, and instructions which are executable by the processor. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to 1) carry out a photorefraction test of a subject, 2) estimate the subject's visual acuity based on the photorefraction test, 3) present the subject with a visual acuity check optotype for an interval of time, and 4) monitor for noncompliance with a visual acuity check protocol during at least part of the time interval.
    Type: Grant

  • PERSONALIZED BASELINES, VISUALIZATIONS, AND HANDOFFS
    Publication number: 20210020278
    Abstract: A system for determining personalized baselines for use across multiple locations and by multiple caregivers. The system aggregates physiological parameters measured at a first location, determines a personalized baseline based on the aggregated physiological parameters, and generates a user interface that compares physiological parameters measured at a second location to the personalized baseline.

  • CUSTOM EARLY WARNING SCORING FOR MEDICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150342538
    Abstract: 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.

  • PARAMETER MEASURING DEVICE WITH MANUAL OVERRIDE SELECTION
    Publication number: 20150186023
    Abstract: A parameter measuring device operates to: obtain a first measurement of a parameter; display a workflow screen containing a first representation of the parameter based on the first measurement of the parameter; detect a first manual override selection corresponding to interaction of the user in relation to the input device; receive a second measurement of the parameter via the input device; and display a second representation of the parameter based on the second measurement of the parameter by replacing the first representation of the parameter with the second representation of the parameter
