Patient medical parameter trend indicative user interface display system

A user interface system for providing patient medical parameter data for trend indicative display covering a time period comprising user selectable acquisition time intervals, comprising:

• an acquisition processor for acquiring data representing a patient parameter using a patient monitoring device having at least one patient connected sensor, the data representing the patient parameter comprising a plurality of data values at a corresponding plurality of different times within multiple user selectable patient parameter acquisition intervals comprising a time period;
• a data processor for determining for a particular user selectable acquisition time interval a patient parameter data value closest in time to a substantially centre time point of said particular user selected acquisition time interval and for excluding other patient parameter data values acquired within said particular user selectable acquisition time interval;
• and
• a generator for generating data representing an image showing a trend indicative display of said patient parameter including said determined patient parameter data value associated with said particular user selectable acquisition time interval and omitting said excluded data values.

A method for providing patient medical parameter data for trend indicative display covering a time period comprising user selectable acquisition time intervals, comprising the activities of:

• receiving user entered data identifying an acquisition time interval duration;
• acquiring, from a patient monitoring device using at least one patient connected sensor, data representing a patient parameter comprising a plurality of data values at a corresponding plurality of different times within multiple patient parameter acquisition time intervals individually having said duration;
• determining, for said multiple patient parameter acquisition time intervals having said duration, patient parameter data values closest in time to substantial centre time points of said multiple patient parameter acquisition time intervals;
• and
• excluding other patient parameter data values acquired within said multiple patient parameter acquisition time intervals.
