Method and a device for use in a patient monitoring system to assist a patient in completing a task

A method comprising:

• determining a proximity of a patient to a medical device, the medical device being arranged such that the patient performs a physical action therewith;
• determining a medical status associated with the patient, the medical status being related to the physical action for the patient to initiate with the medical device;
• generating an alert including a triggering element based on the proximity of the patient and the medical status such that:
• (i) the alert includes a first alarm type in response to the proximity satisfying a proximity threshold and the medical status satisfying a first timing threshold;
• (ii) the alert includes a second alarm type in response to the proximity satisfying the proximity threshold and the medical status satisfying a second timing threshold different from the first timing threshold;
• detecting patient activation of the triggering element of the alert;
• monitoring, via one or more sensors of the medical device, initiation and occurrence of the physical action by the patient using the medical device;
• and
• updating, based on the monitoring indicating occurrence of the physical action, the medical status associated with the patient.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause operations comprising:

• determining a proximity of a patient to a medical device, the medical device being arranged such that the patient performs a physical action therewith;
• determining a medical status associated with the patient, the medical status being related to the physical action for the patient to initiate with the medical device;
• generating an alert including a triggering element based on the proximity of the patient and the medical status;
• detecting patient activation of the triggering element of the alert;
• monitoring, via one or more sensors of the medical device, initiation and occurence of the phsyical action by the patient using the medical device;
• and
• updating, based on the monitoring indicating occurrence of the phsyical action, the medical status associated with the patient.
