Abstract: A method and apparatus that displays at least one user interface display image including patient parameter data is provided. An acquisition processor selectively acquires, from a storage repository, at least one type of patient medical parameter data associated with at least one patient acquired over a period of time. A display processor generates a display including at least one display image representing at least a portion of the acquired patient medical parameter data and a navigation bar associated with the at least one display image including a user selectable window identifying a range of acquired patient medical parameter data to be displayed within the display image. A controller is electrically coupled to the acquisition processor and the display processor. The controller controls navigating through the patient medical parameter data and adjustment of the user selectable window, and causes the display processor to modify the generated at least one display image.

Abstract: A system for managing patient medical data derived from at least first and second medical devices acquiring respective medical data from a patient includes a proximity detector, for use by the first medical device, for detecting proximity of the second medical device. A command processor responds to the detection of proximity, by initiating generation of signals: (a) to associate patient medical data acquired by the second medical device with patient medical data acquired by the first medical device, and (b) to process patient medical data acquired by the second medical device together with medical data acquired by the first medical device to provide a composite representation of patient medical data.
