Abstract
A system and method to configure a rule set used in connection with a medical monitoring system for monitoring patients and patient care equipment, especially medication delivery pumps, based on a variety of conditions and parameters associated with monitored biometric information and equipment information and for providing user-defined responses to those conditions and parameters.
Claims21
1-27. (canceled)
A medical device interface configured to communicate with one or more medical devices, comprising:
- a processor configured to communicate with an infusion pump;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions that when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:
- receive a condition of a parameter associated with one or more sensors configured to measure the parameter of the patient;
- receive a selection of a customizable algorithm from a plurality of customizable algorithms, each customizable algorithm comprising a predetermined response, the predetermined response being associated with a preselected parameter and a preselected condition of the preselected parameter, wherein the plurality of customizable algorithms comprise non-terminal parameter symbols and terminal parameter symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of non-terminal medical device parameters and terminal medical device parameters, non-terminal condition symbols and terminal condition symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of nonterminal medical device conditions and terminal medical device conditions, a response symbol that is configured to be satisfied by a plurality of medical system responses;
- compare the received condition of the parameter with the preselected condition of the preselected parameter associated with the selected customizable algorithm;
- determine that the received condition satisfies the preselected condition;
- and
- execute the predetermined response associated with the selected customizable algorithm.

A medical device interface configured to communicate with one or more medical devices, comprising:
- a processor configured to communicate with an infusion pump;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions that when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:
- receive at least one condition of at least one parameter associated with one or more sensors configured to measure the least one parameter of the patient;
- receive a selection of a customizable algorithm from a plurality of customizable algorithms, each customizable algorithm comprising a predetermined response, the predetermined response being associated with a preselected parameter and a preselected condition of the preselected parameter, wherein the plurality of customizable algorithms are associated with a context free grammar, the grammar comprising non-terminal parameter symbols and terminal parameter symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of non-terminal medical device parameters and terminal medical device parameters, respectively, the grammar further comprising non-terminal condition symbols and terminal condition symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of nonterminal medical device conditions and terminal medical device conditions, respectively, the grammar further comprising a response symbol that is configured to be satisfied by a plurality of medical system responses;
- compare the received condition of the parameter with the preselected condition of the preselected parameter associated with the selected customizable algorithm;
- determine that the received condition satisfies the preselected condition;
- and
- execute the predetermined response associated with the selected customizable algorithm.
