Associating patients and medical devices with a mobile device via bluetooth

A computer system for associating patients and medical devices with a mobile device via Bluetooth, the computer system comprising one or more processors coupled to a computer storage medium, the computer storage medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer software components executable by the one or more processors, the computer software components comprising:

• a detection component that receives an indication a medical device has detected a signal associated with a patient, the signal indicating that the patient is in range of the medical device, the signal communicated from a patient wristband to the medical device via a Bluetooth personal area network;
• an identifier component that identifies the patient associated with the signal;
• an association request component that initiates an association request for the patient to the medical device, the association request communicated to a mobile device associated with a clinician;
• an approval component that receives an indication of an approval from the clinician for the association request;
• and
• an association component that associates the patient to the medical device, wherein associating the patient to the medical device enables data from the medical device to be communicated to an electronic medical record associated with the patient.

Computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to produce a graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate associating patients and medical devices with a mobile device via Bluetooth, the GUI comprising:

• a patient summary display area that displays a categorized view of information associated with a patient, the categorized view of information being selectable to display a detailed view of the information specific to a selected category;
• a connection display area that displays an indicator that a patient and one or more medical devices are pairing, the pairing indicating that a patient is in range of the one or more medical devices and the one or more medical devices have detected a signal associated with the patient, the signal being communicated via a Bluetooth personal area network;
• an association confirmation display area that displays a prompt for a clinician to confirm an association for the one or more medical devices to the patient;
• and
• a device display area that displays device information for the one or more medical devices, wherein selection of one of the one or more medical devices causes the device display area to display detailed device information for a selected medical device.
