Abstract
Techniques for electronic devices including medical devices and non-medical devices are described. An example method includes moving from a dynamic real-time snapshot of an ECG to a historical snapshot of the ECG; and generating the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG and the historical snapshot of the ECG, the historical snapshot of the ECG being selected from among a dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG or a static historical snapshot of the ECG. The dynamic real-time snapshot includes an ECG presented in an electronic format. The historical snapshot includes an ECG presented in a pseudo-paper format.
Claims20
A defibrillator, comprising:
- sensors configured to detect electrical activity of a heart of a subject;
- an input device;
- a display configured to:
- present a dynamic real-time snapshot of an electronic electrocardiogram (ECG) indicative of the electrical activity;
- move to a dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- move the dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG to a static historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- generate the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG, the dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG, and the static historical snapshot of the ECG;
- identify, via a first swipe received as input from a user to the input device, a first command to move from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG to the dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- identify, via a second swipe received as input from the user to the input device, a second command to move from the dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG to the static historical snapshot of the ECG, the dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG being separated from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG by a delay in time that is fixed, the static historical snapshot of the ECG being separated from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG by a delay in time that is continually extending.
A medical device, comprising:
- sensors configured to detect electrical activity of a heart of a subject;
- an input device;
- a display configured to:
- present a dynamic real-time snapshot of an electronic electrocardiogram (ECG) indicative of the electrical activity;
- and
- move from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG to a historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- generate the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG and the historical snapshot of the ECG, the historical snapshot of the ECG being selected from among a dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG or a static historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- identify, via input from a user to the input device, a command to move from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG to the historical snapshot of the ECG.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by sensors of a medical device, electrical activity of a heart of a subject;
- generating, by a processor of the medical device, a dynamic real-time snapshot of an electronic electrocardiogram (ECG) indicative of the electrical activity, and a historical snapshot of the ECG, the historical snapshot of the ECG being selected from among a dynamic historical snapshot of the ECG or a static historical snapshot of the ECG;
- presenting, by a display of the medical device, the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG;
- identifying, by the processor, and via input from a user to an input device of the medical device, a command to move from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG to the historical snapshot of the ECG;
- and
- moving, by the display, from the dynamic real-time snapshot of the ECG to the historical snapshot of the ECG.
