Abstract
In a method and system to determine and display assistive information related to the current operating status of a medical apparatus at a mobile auxiliary device, operating parameters describing the current operating status of the medical apparatus are transmitted to the mobile auxiliary device via a wireless (in particular bidirectional) communication connection, and are evaluated at the mobile auxiliary device via a mobile application in order to determine the assistive information, whereupon the assistive information is displayed at least in part by the mobile application.
Claims22
A method to determine and display assistive information related to a current operating status of a medical apparatus comprising:
- from a medical apparatus, wirelessly transmitting operating parameters that describe a current operating status of the medical apparatus to a mobile auxiliary device;
- at said mobile auxiliary device, executing a mobile application therein that uses the transmitted operating parameters to determine assistive information for said medical apparatus;
- and
- displaying at least a portion of said assistive information at a display at said mobile auxiliary device operated by said mobile application.
A medical apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of medical apparatus components that operate, in combination, according to operating parameters;
- and
- an interface in communication with at least some of said plurality of components, said interface being configured to establish a wireless communication connection between said interface and a mobile auxiliary device and to wirelessly communicate said operating parameters, as a description of a current operating status of the medical apparatus, from the interface to the mobile auxiliary device via the communication connection.
A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said programming instructions being configured as a mobile application and said storage medium being contained in a mobile auxiliary device and communicating with a processor of said mobile auxiliary device, said programming instructions causing said processor of said mobile auxiliary device to:
- wirelessly receive operating parameters transmitted by a medical apparatus that describe a current operating status of the medical apparatus;
- evaluate said operating parameters in said mobile application;
- and
- in said mobile application, determine assistive information relating to operation of said medical apparatus and displaying at least a portion of said assistive information at a display at said mobile auxiliary device.
A medical system comprising:
- a medical apparatus comprising a plurality of apparatus components that operate, in combination, according to operating parameters;
- said apparatus comprising an interface configured to wirelessly transmit said operating parameters as a description of a current operating status of the medical apparatus to a mobile auxiliary device;
- a mobile auxiliary device configured to execute a mobile application therein to receive and use the transmitted operating parameters to determine assistive information for said medical apparatus, said mobile auxiliary device comprising a display;
- and
- said mobile application being configured to display at least a portion of said assistive information at said display of said mobile auxiliary device.
