## Abstract

A digital interface has a main screen having a treatment screen and a scroll bar. The treatment screen includes a list of treatment inputs. The scroll bar has a displacement detection area, and the scroll bar scrolls to a divider in the list of treatment inputs in response to movement along the displacement detection area. The treatment screen displays the list of treatment inputs beginning with the divider.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A digital interface comprising:
a main screen having a treatment screen and a scroll bar;
the treatment screen having a list of treatment inputs;
the scroll bar having a displacement detection area, wherein the scroll bar scrolls to a divider in the list of treatment inputs in response to movement along the displacement detection area; and
wherein the treatment screen displays the list of treatment inputs beginning with the divider.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, wherein the scroll bar includes directional buttons at terminal ends of the displacement detection area which actuate the scroll bar.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, wherein the divider corresponds with a letter of the alphabet.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The digital interface of claim 3, wherein the treatment inputs are alphabetized, grouped according to a first letter of the treatment inputs, and separated by dividers.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, wherein the treatment screen displays the list of treatment inputs in a single column.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, wherein the scroll bar is actuated by a touch screen.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, wherein the scroll bar includes a slider that moves along the displacement detection area.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The digital interface of claim 1, including a three letter window, wherein the three letter window displays a current position of the scroll bar, a position preceding the current position, and a position following the current position.

### Claim 9

A digital interface comprising:
a main screen having a treatment screen;
the treatment screen having a list of treatment inputs;
an alpha-numeric keypad with a plurality of sequential entry positions; and
wherein the treatment screen displays a subset of the list of treatments based upon an input of a first and at least a second letter alpha-numeric input into a first sequential entry position and at least a sequential entry position.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The digital interface of claim 9, wherein the treatment screen displays a subset of the list of treatment inputs which has the same first, second, and third letters input into the first sequential entry position, the sequential entry position, and a third sequential entry position.

### Claim 11

A digital interface comprising:
a main screen having a treatment screen and an alpha-numeric scroll bar displaying a sequential row of alpha-numeric letters;
the treatment screen having a list of treatment inputs;
a plurality of sequential alpha-numeric entry positions wherein scrolling to an alpha-numeric letter inputs the alpha-numeric letter into an entry position; and
wherein the treatment screen displays a subset of the list of treatments based upon an input of a first and at least a second alpha-numeric letter input into a first sequential entry position and at least a second sequential entry position.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The digital interface of claim 11, wherein the treatment screen displays a subset of the list of treatment inputs which has the same first, second, and third letters input into the first sequential entry position, the second sequential entry position, and a third sequential entry position.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The digital interface of claim 11, wherein a three position window is juxtapositioned above the row of alpha-numeric letters to highlight a position of the scroll bar.

### Claim 14

A digital interface comprising:
a main screen having a treatment screen and navigation inputs;
the treatment screen having a list of alpha-numeric entries displayed as a sequential row of alphabetical positions wherein each alpha-numeric entry corresponds to a divider within a list of treatment inputs; and
wherein the treatment screen displays a subset of treatment inputs beginning with the divider corresponding to the alpha-numeric entry selected by the navigation input.

### Claim 15

A digital interface comprising:
a main screen having a treatment screen and an alpha-numeric scroll bar displaying a sequential row of alphabetical positions;
the treatment screen having a list of treatment inputs;
a three position window juxtapositioned above the row of alphabetical positions to highlight a position of the scroll bar;
wherein the scroll bar scrolls to a divider in the list of treatment inputs in response to movement along the sequential row of alphabetical positions; and
wherein the treatment screen displays the list of treatment inputs beginning with the divider.
