Publication number: 20190150786Abstract: A method for configuring a presentation of physiological data for a patient includes identifying one or more physiological sensor modules that are connected in a physiological parameter monitoring device. After the physiological sensor modules are identified, the physiological parameter monitoring device is configured so that display areas are allocated on a display screen of the physiological parameter monitoring device for displaying physiological data for the patient. A separate display area is allocated for each identified physiological module. After one or more physiological sensor modules are detected as being connected, the physiological parameter monitoring device is automatically configured to include one or more additional display areas on the display screen for displaying physiological data for the patient. A separate additional display area is allocated for each of the additional physiological sensor modules that is connected.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Gregory P. Vassallo, Thomas A. Myers, Janalee Esler, Michele Marie Donovan, Eric Michael Andreassen, Michael D. Garrant, Corrie A. Baum

Patent number: 9646136Abstract: A device obtains a series of measurements of a physiological parameter of a monitored patient when the device is operating within a monitoring workflow. The device displays a monitoring workflow home screen when the device is operating within the monitoring workflow. The monitoring workflow home screen contains a representation of the physiological parameter of the monitored patient. In addition, the device obtains a measurement of the physiological parameter of each patient in a series of patients when the device is operating within a non-monitoring workflow. The device displays a non-monitoring workflow home screen when the device is operating within the non-monitoring workflow. The non-monitoring workflow home screen contains a representation of the physiological parameter of a given patient in the series of patients. The monitoring workflow home screen is different than the non-monitoring workflow home screen.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: Shawn C. St. Pierre, Esther N. Ahn, Eric J. Bailey, Michael D. Garrant, Roger W. Graves, Jennifer M. Kilian, Thomas A. Myers

Publication number: 20170109490Abstract: A physiological monitor device is programmed to: store a device ID for the device, the device ID being a number that uniquely identifies the device, the device being configured with the device ID by a user; store a location ID for the device, the location ID identifying a location in a medical facility, the device being configured with the location ID by a user; send the device ID and the location ID to a server computer; after the device ID and the location ID are sent to the server computer, receive a list of patients for the location specified by the location ID; and display the list of patients on the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Shawn C. St. Pierre, Michael D. Garrant, Kristin Ann Alisanski
