Patent number: 8781751Abstract: A biological information trend display device and method which allow the trend and an abnormal value of biological information to be checked with ease are provided. When a curve (50) showing the ST level in lead V3 exceeds the upper limit of a normal range, the part of the curve above the upper limit is displayed in an abnormal color “b” (red, for example). To indicate that the ST level derived from the lead V3 has exceeded the upper limit, a lead icon (32) in an upper part of the display screen is displayed in the abnormal color “b.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Nihon Kohden CorporationInventors: Kenji Kouchi, Ryuji Nagai, Shinya Nagata

Patent number: 8688205Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) chart device and method capable of easily assisting with the diagnosis of heart disease. Hexagonal radar charts displayed on a screen act as indicators of feature values corresponding to data obtained from each of 12 electrode leads and correlated with the related portions of the heart. For example, a (V1, V2) lead is an indicator of a right ventricle. Each of the radar charts is schematically arranged to correspond with the related portion of the heart. Each vertex of the hexagonal radar charts acts as an indicator of the recognized value. More specifically, each vertex of the radar chart is based on a value obtained by extracting a waveform critical point, a waveform start point, a waveform end point, or the like, of constituent elements of the ECG waveform as the P wave, the Q wave, the R wave, the S wave, the ST segment, the T wave, or the like. Therefore, a user of the ECG radar chart device can intuitively and easily carry out interpretation of ECG data.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Nihon Kohden CorporationInventors: Shinya Nagata, Ryuji Nagai, Kenji Kouchi

Patent number: 7371214Abstract: A vital sign display device and method which allows a vital sign to be checked easily is provided. A vital sign item name is displayed at the center of a circle radar (50). The circle part of the circle radar (50) is colored in gray, for example, at the beginning of the measurement. An indication point moves clockwise in the circle radar (50) as the measurement time proceeds. Green is displayed while VPCs (ventricular premature contractions) do not occur, and red is displayed when VPCs occur.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Kouchi, Ryuji Nagai, Shinya Nagata

Publication number: 20050228305Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis device and method capable of easily aiding in the diagnosis of heart disease. A CPU of ECG radar chart device runs 12-lead ECG on a patient. The CPU extracts identified values (which are based on P wave, Q wave, R wave, S wave, ST segment, or T wave) from the ECG waveform. The CPU executes the process that determines identified value level for each identified value and the process that determines the Minnesota code by utilizing information including the determined identified values. The CPU displays the determined identified value level and the Minnesota code. The CPU returns to the first step and repeats the process that generates the ECG radar chart for next heartbeat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2003Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Shinya Nagata, Ryuji Nagai, Kenji Kouchi
