Abstract
System and methods are disclosed for adjusting behavior of a medical device. An exemplary method includes monitoring physiological data of a patient and determining whether the medical device is stationary or in motion based on detection by a proximity sensor or a motion sensor. The method further includes displaying the monitored physiological data in a first display mode in response to determining that the medical device is stationary and displaying the monitored physiological data in a second display mode in response to determining that the medical device is in motion. The second display mode is simplified comparing to the first display mode.
Claims20
A medical device for monitoring a patient, the medical device comprises:
- a display configured to display monitored physiological data of the patient;
- a proximity sensor configured to detect proximity of the medical device to one or more targets positioned in a healthcare environment;
- and
- a controller communicably connected to the display and the proximity sensor and configured to:
- determine whether the medical device is stationary or in motion based on detection by the proximity sensor;
- make the display present the monitored physiological data in a first display mode in response to determining that the medical device is stationary;
- and
- make the display present the monitored physiological data in a second display mode in response to determining that the medical device is in motion, wherein the second display mode is different from the first display mode.
A wireless patient monitor comprising:
- one or more medical sensors configured to monitor physiological data of a patient;
- a display configured to display the monitored physiological data of the patient;
- a wireless communication interface configured to transmit the monitored physiological data to a remote server;
- a motion sensor configured to detect motion status of the wireless patient monitor;
- and
- a controller communicably connected to the one or more medical sensors, display, wireless communication interface, and motion sensor and configured to:
- determine whether the wireless patient monitor is stationary or in motion based on detection by the motion sensor;
- make the display present the monitored physiological data in a first display mode in response to determining that the wireless patient monitor is stationary;
- and
- make the display present the monitored physiological data in a second display mode in response to determining that the wireless patient monitor is in motion, wherein the second display mode is different from the first display mode.
A method for adjusting behavior of a medical device, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by the medical device, physiological data of a patient;
- determining, by the medical device, whether the medical device is stationary or in motion based on detection by a sensor;
- displaying, by the medical device, the monitored physiological data in a first display mode in response to determining that the medical device is stationary;
- and
- displaying, by the medical device, the monitored physiological data in a second display mode in response to determining that the medical device is in motion, wherein the second display mode is different from the first display mode.
