Abstract

This disclosure describes example alarm notification systems that can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician device may be a mobile device, such as a cellphone or smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The clinician device may communicate with a remote server to obtain patient data generated by a patient device at the point-of-care (such as a bedside device or patient-worn monitor). This patient data may be continuous monitoring data for one or more patients. A mobile application (optionally a browser application) on the clinician device can enable the clinician to view continuous monitoring data for multiple patients, as well as view and respond to alarms and alerts, all from the clinician device, regardless of location.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A method for managing alarms between a patient monitor and a mobile computing device operated by a clinician, the method comprising:

under control of a hardware processor,
receiving an alarm notification from a remote server over a network, the alarm notification comprising a measured physiological parameter value for a first patient;
outputting a notifications user interface to present the alarm notification on a touchscreen display, the notifications user interface comprising:
an alarm notification tile that presents information about an alarm for the first patient, the alarm notification tile user-selectable by swiping a portion of the touchscreen display corresponding to the alarm notification tile;
receiving a first user selection of the alarm notification tile, the first user selection comprising a first swipe in a first direction;
in response to receiving the first user selection, causing the alarm notification tile to move so as to reveal a first option for viewing data associated with the alarm;
receiving a second user selection of the alarm notification tile, the second user selection comprising a second swipe in a second direction;
and
in response to receiving the second user selection, causing the alarm notification tile to move so as to reveal a second option for accepting the alarm and a third option for forwarding the alarm.

6 more elements

A system for managing alarms between a patient monitor and a mobile computing device operated by a clinician, the system comprising:

a memory device configured to store first software instructions;
and
a first hardware processor configured to execute the first software instructions to cause the first hardware processor to:
receive an alarm notification from a remote server over a network, the alarm notification comprising a measured physiological parameter value for a first patient;
and
output a notifications user interface to present the alarm notification on a touchscreen display, the notifications user interface comprising:
an alarm notification tile that present information about an alarm for the first patient, the alarm notification tile user-selectable by swiping a portion of the touchscreen display corresponding to the alarm notification tile;
wherein swiping the alarm notification tile in a first direction causes the alarm notification tile to move so as to reveal a first option for accepting the alarm and a second option forwarding the alarm;
and
wherein swiping the alarm notification tile in a second direction causes the alarm notification tile to move so as to reveal a third option for viewing data associated with the alarm.
