Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for providing haptic feedback in a medical monitor. The haptic feedback may be configurable. For example, haptic feedback may be associated with only a defined set of events occurring or may have different properties according to the event that triggers the haptic feedback to occur.
Claims12
A method for indicating selection of a critical option in a medical monitor having a touch sensitive display, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication at processing circuitry that a selectable option displayed on the touch sensitive display has been selected;
- determining using the processing circuitry whether the selected option is defined by the monitor as critical;
- and
- providing haptic feedback using a feedback module if the selected option is critical.

A method for providing haptic feedback in a medical monitor having a touch sensitive display, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication at processing circuitry that a selectable option displayed on the touch sensitive display has been selected;
- identifying with the processing circuitry a category associated with the selectable option;
- determining with the processing circuitry haptic feedback properties based at least in part on the category;
- and
- generating with a feedback module haptic feedback having the haptic feedback properties
2 more elements
A medical monitor comprising
- a touch sensitive display device;
- a controller coupled to the touch sensitive display device configured to:
- receive an indication that a selectable option displayed on the touch sensitive display has been selected,
- determine whether the selected option is defined by the monitor as critical, and
- output a control signal;
- and
- a feedback module coupled to the controller configured to receive the control signal and to generate a haptic feedback in response to the control signal when the selected option is critical.
