## Abstract

The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub is configured to receive and process a plurality of physiological parameters associated with the patient. The hub includes advanced analytical presentation views configured to provide timely, clinically-relevant, actionable information to care providers. In certain embodiments, the monitoring hub stores and is able to replay previously presented data reflective of the patient's condition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of replaying historical physiological parameters of a patient on a display device of a patient monitor, the patient monitor comprising one or more processors configured to analyze measured values of a plurality of physiological parameters of the patient in real time and store the measured values for replay, the method comprising:
using the one or more processors:
receiving a first user input to select a replay display rate, wherein the replay display rate is dynamically adjustable by the user during replay and comprises a sampling interval of the stored measured values;
setting a beginning of a replay time period;
accessing the measured values at the beginning of the replay time period stored at the patient monitor;
replaying the measured values of the plurality of physiological parameters synchronously on the display device from the beginning of the replay time period to a current display time at the replay display rate, wherein replaying the measured values comprises selecting and displaying only those stored measured values corresponding to the sampling interval; and
repeatedly accessing additional measured values at a new beginning time and replaying the plurality of physiological parameters at the new beginning time until playback has reached an end of the replay time period,
wherein the new beginning time is calculated by adding the replay display rate to the current display time.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a second user input to configure a replay display by selecting one or more display elements.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the second user input comprises a user dragging the one or more display elements to a portion of the display device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more display elements comprise a plurality of analytical presentation view elements.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the plurality of analytical presentation view elements include a heat map view and one or more of a box-and-whisker view, a distribution view, a histogram view, an index view, or a gauge histogram view.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein replaying the measured values of the plurality of physiological parameters comprises displaying the heat map view fluctuating in color and/or position over the replay time period.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the heat map view includes values of blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein another analytical presentation view element is configured to change in rhythm with the heat map view when replaying the plurality of physiological parameters.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a third user input to set the replay time period.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the third user input comprises a user selecting a timeframe icon on the display device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the third user input comprises a user scrolling on a timeline to select a starting point and an ending point.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting a timeline having a width indicative of the replay display rate, wherein a user can pinch the timeline to increase or decrease the replay display rate.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay display rate comprises a real-time replay interval.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay display rate comprises a slow-motion or time-lapse replay interval.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay display rate is indicative of a number of frames of the stored measured values displayed when selecting a time-lapse mode.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a second user input to interrupt replaying.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein interrupting replaying comprises pausing, speeding up, or slowing down replay.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein interrupting replaying comprises zooming in or out on a time period, switching to another time period, or ending replay.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein interrupting replaying comprises changing display elements.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, further comprising restarting replay with a new configuration or time parameters in response to the interrupting.
