  • Publication number: 20250090107
    Abstract: This disclosure describes example alarm notification systems that can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician device may be a mobile device, such as a cellphone or smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The clinician device may communicate with a remote server to obtain patient data generated by a patient device at the point-of-care (such as a bedside device or patient-worn monitor). This patient data may be continuous monitoring data for one or more patients. A mobile application (optionally a browser application) on the clinician device can enable the clinician to view continuous monitoring data for multiple patients, as well as view and respond to alarms and alerts, all from the clinician device, regardless of location.

  • Patent number: 12235941
    Abstract: A physiological patient monitoring system with a healthcare professional-facing interface is disclosed. The healthcare professional interface may only display by default the most critical non-confidential patient information. To access the full range of features in the system, clinicians can unlock the device. Once unlocked, clinicians can access all of a patient's treatment history, and all the data may be consolidated and presented intuitively.

  • Patent number: 12235947
    Abstract: A physiological patient monitoring system with a patient-facing interface is disclosed. The patient interface can be used by the patient to communicate with hospital staff without actually requesting attendance and can request attendance for specific purposes. The patient interface may also track patient treatment and inform patients of the details of their treatments.

  • Publication number: 20240423485
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for remote patient management and monitoring. The patient is monitored with a wireless sensor system connected to an application executing on a patient user computing device. The system continuously monitors physiological parameters, such as, but not limited to, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index, and/or respiration rate from the photoplethysmograph. The system triggers alarms if the patient physiological data violates thresholds. Care providers review patient data and associated alarm(s) with graphical user interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20240415451
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting fluid responsiveness or fluid unresponsiveness are described. A processor can determine a first prediction of fluid responsiveness or unresponsiveness based on a plethysmograph variability parameter associated with a plethysmograph waveform, and can determine a second prediction of fluid responsiveness or unresponsiveness based on a fluid responsiveness parameter that is associated with an elevation of one or more limbs of the patient. The processor can determine an overall prediction of fluid responsiveness or unresponsiveness based on the first and/or second predictions. Based on overall prediction, the processor can cause administration of fluids and/or termination of administration of fluids.

  • Publication number: 20240358332
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system can have a display screen or potion thereof with graphic user interface for displaying indications of a patient's oxygen state. The indications can include the patient's SpO2, dissolved oxygen index, and/or an increasing or decreasing trend of dissolved oxygen index. The displays of oxygen state indications can be compact, and/or able to provide direct visual information to a user of various aspects of the patient's oxygen state. The display elements can be used to represent any other physiological parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240350073
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a panel for receiving neurocognitive data having a collapsible and portable user interface touch screen display bounded by a frame, the touch screen display having a width that extends into a user's peripheral vision by having the touch screen display extending from 60 to 120 degrees from a center of the user's gaze. The invention provides the touch screen display mounted on a support stand at the user's eye level and a computer electronically connected to the touch screen display via a control unit, the touch screen display comprising a tactile area having touch sensing capacity. The touch screen display for receiving at least one stimulus via the electronic connection to the control unit.

  • Patent number: 12097043
    Abstract: An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information indicates a non-distress stats and notifies a second set of contact when the opioid monitoring information indicates an overdose event. The notification can be a phone call or text message to a specified person, emergency personnel, or first responders, and can include the location of the smart mobile device. The smart mobile device can also include the location of the nearest treatment center having emergency medication used in treating opioid overdose, such as naloxone.

  • Publication number: 20240282023
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub is configured to receive and process a plurality of physiological parameters associated with the patient. The hub includes advanced analytical presentation views configured to provide timely, clinically-relevant, actionable information to care providers. In certain embodiments, the monitoring hub stores and is able to replay previously presented data reflective of the patient's condition.
