Methods and systems for providing customized settings for patient monitors

A method for generating an alarm setting recommendation classifier, the method comprising the steps of:

• collecting information about a plurality of patients-,
• collecting one or more alarm settings for a plurality of patient monitors associated with the plurality of patients, each configured to monitor sensor data collected from a patient sensor;
• collecting sensor data from the patient monitors;
• creating a database comprising the collected information about the patient and the collected one or more alarm settings;
• and
• analyzing the database to create the alarm setting recommendation classifier.

A method for providing one or more customized alarm setting recommendations for a patient, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a patient monitor configured to monitor the patient, the patient monitor comprising a patient sensor configured to obtain sensor data from the patient a display configured to display one or more customized alarm setting recommendations to a user, a user interface configured to receive input from the user, and a processor configured to receive the sensor data from the patient sensor,
• receiving by the patient monitor, information about a patient;
• and
• analyzing, by the processor using an alarm setting recommendation classifier, the received information about the patient to generate one or more alarm setting recommendations for the patient monitor, wherein the generated one or more alarm setting recommendations are customized to the patient,
• providing the one or more customized alarm setting recommendations to a user to the display;
• and
• receiving input from the user interface regarding the one or more customized alarm setting recommendations.
