Abstract
A system including an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of at least one medical device monitoring a patient, a database including images of a plurality of medical devices, where each image corresponds to a particular medical device, and a data collection server configured to receive the at least one image, receive patient identification data corresponding to the patient, and identify the medical device in the image by comparing the received image with the images stored in the database and matching the received image with the images stored in the database.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- an image capturing unit configured to capture at least one image of at least one medical device monitoring a patient, the at least one medical device measuring physiological parameters of the patient and displaying the measured physiological parameters of the patient on a display of the at least one medical device, wherein the measured physiological parameters of the patient are viewable in the at least one captured image;
- a database including images of a plurality of medical devices, wherein each image corresponds to a particular medical device at a particular angle;
- and
- a data collection server configured to:
- receive the measured physiological parameters from the at least one medical device;
- receive the at least one image;
- receive patient identification data corresponding to the patient;
- detect the at least one medical device in the at least one received image;
- modify the at least one received image to prepare the at least one received image for comparison;
- compare the at least one received image with the images stored in the database and match the at least one received image with at least one of the images stored in the database to identify the particular medical device;
- extract the measured physiological parameters of the patient from the at least one received image;
- and
- verify the measured physiological parameters of the patient by comparing the measured physiological parameters received from the at least one medical device with the measured physiological parameters extracted from the at least one received image.
