Patent number: 9298889Abstract: A portable health data tool permits a health care provider to assimilate and display a plurality of health care data from a patient and to associate the data with patient identifying information all stored in a memory contained in the tool. The tool includes a code reader for reading patient information into the tool from a bar code or other coded tag. The tool is associated with a plurality of different data assimilation devices stored with the tool's housing, including but not limited to, instruments for measuring, temperature, blood pressure, two-finger or lead wire ECG data, pulse oximetry data, sound data and picture data obtained from an optional digital camera integrated within the housing. The tool further includes data receiver and/or transmitter ports, which may be wireless or cable ports, for transferring data between the health data tool and a separate computer system that stores patient records.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: William Oren Wekell, Robert Boyer Koenig, Joseph Charles Basta

Publication number: 20150301717Abstract: The present invention is a novel method of generating and representing the status of various physiological parameters that are monitored for patients during hospitalization. The system of present invention allows healthcare providers to easily view, at a glance, the status or trend of a patient or a plurality of patients as well as any changes in the parameter values.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2015Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventors: William Wekell, Robert Boyer Koenig, Patricia Walters, Bob Steurer, Vicki Childress, Diane S. Paine, Kim Apker, Kyril Feldman, Al Roxin

Patent number: 9047747Abstract: An interface protocol for patient monitoring systems includes a Dual Serial Bus (DSB) interface. The DSB interface includes a first serial protocol that is USB, Firewire, or Ethernet protocol and a second serial protocol that is a low power serial (LPS) protocol. DSB interfaces provide for communication between DSB Hosts and DSB Devices and allow for the transfer of operating and battery charging power from DSB Host to DSB Device. In addition, the DSB host contains a switched Auxiliary Voltage Supply (AVS) which can provide up to 15 W of power to DSB devices for battery charging or other high power needs. The DSB interface eliminates the need for multiple cables for different parameter sensing devices as there is only one type of connector and, accordingly, reduces the risk of damage caused by inadvertently plugging a parameter sensing device into the wrong receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: Joseph Charles Basta, Robert Boyer Koenig, Joseph D. LaPerna, William Oren Wekell
