A computer program product for monitoring a coagulation function of a patient, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code that is adapted, when executed on a computer, to:
- dynamically render a graphical representation of a blood clot using a synthetic two- or three-dimensional visual blood clot model, the visual blood clot model representing a real-time coagulation function status of the monitored patient, wherein the graphical representation of the blood clot includes red and white blood cells, thrombocytes, medication icons, fibrin mesh, plasmatic factors, blood drops and a pool of blood, wherein the visual blood clot model has at least one region that is allocated to at least one coagulation function quantity, and wherein the at least one region is one of the following regions:
- Red blood cell indicators
- Drug indicators
- Thrombocyte indicators
- Fibrin mesh indicators
- Plasmatic factor indicators
- Blood drop indicators
- Pool of blood indicators,
- and further wherein the program code, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to:
- load, from one or more coagulation function measurement devices, raw input data into a system memory wherein the raw input data includes one or more coagulation function parameters indicative of the coagulation function status of the patient;
- transform the raw input data into corresponding coagulation function quantities by using at least one ease-in-ease-out function that applies a non-linear transformation such that a degree of change in a resulting visual output attribute is non-linear relative to a degree of change in an underlying coagulation function parameter, wherein the visual attribute includes a volume or area for the respective allocated region, or a number of graphical representations of the respective allocated region, or a color value for the respective allocated region, or a particular form of graphical representations of the respective allocated region;
- automatically render the at least one region with at least one of the resulting volume or area for the respective allocated region, the resulting number of graphical representations of the respective allocated region, the resulting color value for the respective allocated region, and the resulting form of graphical representations of the respective allocated region, depending on a current value of the at least one coagulation function quantity;
- and
- re-render, in real-time, the at least one region when the current value of at least one coagulation function quantity changes so that the blood clot model represents the real-time coagulation function status of the monitored patient according to the raw input data by a change of the volume or area for the respective allocated region, or by a change of the number of graphical representations of the respective allocated region, by a change of the color value for the respective allocated region, or by a change of the form of graphical representations of the respective allocated region, wherein the at least one predefined ease-in-ease-out function causes values of the one or more coagulation function parameters that deviate to a clinically significant extent to cause more extensive changes in volume/area, or number, or color value or form of the graphical representations of respective allocated regions compared to coagulation function parameters values that do not deviate to a clinically significant extent.
