Abstract

Ventilator management systems are provided. In one aspect, a ventilator management system includes a memory that includes an initial configuration profile configured to designate operating parameters for a ventilation device, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive ventilator data from the ventilation device, the ventilator data includes at least one of operating parameters of the ventilation device or physiological statistics of a patient associated with the ventilation device, and determine, based on the ventilator data, a modification to the initial configuration profile for the ventilation device. The processor is also configured to generate a modified configuration profile for the ventilation device based on the determined modification. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A ventilator management system comprising:

a memory comprising an initial configuration profile configured to designate operating parameters for a ventilation device;
and
a processor configured to:
receive ventilator data over a local area network from at least one hospital ventilation device and over a wide area network from at least one home ventilation device, the ventilator data comprising at least one of operating parameters for the respective hospital or home ventilation device, or physiological statistics of a patient associated with the respective hospital or home ventilation device;
determine, for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device and based on the ventilator data, a modification to the initial configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one ventilation device;
and
generate a modified configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device based on the determined modification to the initial configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device,
wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one hospital ventilation device when the modified configuration profile is approved by a clinician associated with the at least one hospital ventilation device, and wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one home ventilation device after the modified configuration profile is accepted by a patient associated with the at least one home ventilation device.

5 more elements

A method for managing a plurality of ventilators, the method comprising:

receiving ventilator data over a local area network from at least one hospital ventilation device and over a wide area network from at least one home ventilation device, the ventilator data comprising at least one of operating parameters for a respective hospital or home ventilation device, or physiological statistics associated with a patient of the respective hospital or home ventilation device;
determining, for each of the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device and based on the ventilator data, a modification to an initial configuration profile for each of the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device;
and
generating a modified configuration profile for each of the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device based on the determined modification to the initial configuration profile for each of the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device,
wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one hospital ventilation device when the modified configuration profile is approved by a clinician associated with the at least one hospital ventilation device, and wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one home ventilation device after the modified configuration profile is accepted by a patient associated with the at least one home ventilation device.

2 more elements

A machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for managing a plurality of ventilators, the method comprising:

receiving ventilator data over a local area network from at least one hospital ventilation device and over a wide area network from at least one home ventilation device, the ventilator data comprising at least one of operating parameters for a respective hospital or home ventilation device, or physiological statistics associated with the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device;
determining, for each of the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device and based on the ventilator data, a modification to an initial configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device;
and
generating a modified configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device based on the determined modification to the initial configuration profile for the at least one hospital ventilation device and the at least one home ventilation device,
wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one hospital ventilation device when the modified configuration profile is approved by a clinician associated with the at least one hospital ventilation device, and wherein the modified configuration profile is configured to be implemented by the at least one home ventilation device after the modified configuration profile is accepted by a patient associated with the at least one home ventilation device.
