Abstract

A patient monitoring hub can communicate bidirectionally with external devices such as a board-in-cable or a dongle. Medical data can be communicated from the patient monitoring hub to the external devices to cause the external devices to initiate actions. For example, an external device can perform calculations based on data received from the patient monitoring hub, or take other actions (for example, creating a new patient profile, resetting baseline values for algorithms, calibrating algorithms, etc.). The external device can also communicate display characteristics associated with its data to the monitoring hub. The monitoring hub can calculate a set of options for combined layouts corresponding to different external devices or parameters. A display option may be selected for arranging a display screen estate on the monitoring hub.

Dependent claims

A patient monitoring hub connectable to a plurality of physiological monitors, each physiological monitor configured to be in communication with one or more physiological sensors, the patient monitoring hub comprising:

a plurality of ports operable to be in communication with the plurality of physiological monitors;
a display;
and
a hardware processor configured to:
identify a plurality of parameters to be displayed by the patient monitoring hub based at least in part on the plurality of physiological monitors connected to the patient monitoring hub, wherein each of the plurality of physiological monitors is configured to measure at least one parameter of the identified plurality of parameters and includes at least one preprogrammed display layout, the plurality of physiological monitors comprising different types of independent medical devices each including their own displays that are configured to display the at least one parameter on the respective displays, the preprogrammed display layouts of the different types of independent medical devices being different from one another, wherein the different types of independent medical devices comprise two or more of an oximetry monitor, a vital sign measurement system, an infusion pump system, a ventilator system, or an electronic patient bed system;
generate a set of self-configurable display layout options based on layout restrictions, wherein the layout restrictions are based on a number and type of the plurality of physiological monitors, and the at least one preprogrammed display layout of each of the plurality of physiological monitors connected to the patient monitoring hub;
automatically populate a display layout manager with the set of self-configurable display layout options;
receive a user selection of one of the self-configurable display layout options;
and
output the plurality of parameters on the display according to the selected self-configurable display layout option.

A method of managing displays of a patient monitoring hub connectable to a plurality of physiological monitors, each physiological monitor configured to be in communication with one or more physiological sensors, the method comprising:

under control of a hardware processor of the patient monitoring hub comprising a display:
identifying the plurality of physiological monitors connected to the patient monitoring hub;
identifying a plurality of parameters to be displayed by the patient monitoring hub based at least in part on information of the plurality of physiological monitors, wherein each of the plurality of physiological monitors is configured to measure at least one parameter of the identified plurality of parameters and includes at least one preprogrammed display layout, the plurality of physiological monitors comprising different types of independent medical devices each including displays that are configured to display the at least one parameter on the respective displays, the preprogrammed display layouts of the different types of independent medical devices being different from one another, wherein the different types of independent medical devices comprise two or more of an oximetry monitor, a vital sign measurement system, an infusion pump system, a ventilator system, or an electronic patient bed system;
generating a set of self-configurable display layout options based on layout restrictions, wherein the layout restrictions are based on a number and type of the plurality of physiological monitors, and the at least one preprogrammed display layout associated with displaying the at least one parameter on the respective physiological monitor display of each of the plurality of physiological monitors connected to the patient monitoring hub;
automatically populating a display layout manager with the set of self-configurable display layout options;
and
rendering the display layout manager with the set of self-configurable display layout options on the display of the medical monitoring hub.
