Abstract
The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub includes configurable medical ports and serial ports for communicating with other medical devices in the patient's proximity. Moreover, the hub communicates with a portable patient monitor. The monitor, when docked with the hub provides display graphics different from when undocked, the display graphics including anatomical information. The hub assembles the often vast amount of electronic medical data, associates it with the monitored patient, and in some embodiments, communicates the data to the patient's medical records.
Claims20
A method of displaying measurement information on a display responsive to an output of a medical device, the method comprising:
- receiving information from a connected output cable of a medical device at a computing device including a display, wherein the information comprises at least one of a map, an image, or a translation file, wherein the information is generated based on a schema and via a software developers' kit associated with the computing device, and wherein the information further comprises, for each of a plurality of parameters, a respective set of instructions regarding interpretation of data provided by the medical device with respect to the respective parameters;
- determining a format of data to be provided on the output cable from the information;
- adjusting the display based on the information;
- and
- receiving the data over the output cable.
A computing device comprising:
- a display;
- a communications port;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions in order to:
- receive information from a cable plugged into the communications port, the cable configured to provide communication between the one or more processors and a medical device, wherein the information comprises at least one of a map, an image, or a translation file, wherein the information is generated based on a schema and via a software developers' kit associated with the computing device, and wherein the information further comprises, for each of a plurality of parameters, a respective set of instructions regarding interpretation of data provided by the medical device with respect to the respective parameters;
- determine, from the information, a format of data to be received from the medical device;
- receive the data via the cable;
- adjust the data based on the format to generate adjusted data;
- and
- display the adjusted data on the display.
A method of displaying measurement information on a display responsive to an output of a medical device, the method comprising:
- receiving information from a connected output cable of a medical device at a computing device including a display, wherein the information comprises at least one of a map, an image, or a translation file, wherein the information is generated based on a schema and via a software developers' kit associated with the computing device, and wherein the information indicates whether the data is streaming data, whether the data is waveform data, and whether the data is already determined parameter measurement data;
- determining a format of data to be provided on the output cable from the information;
- adjusting the display based on the information;
- and
- receiving the data over the output cable.
A computing device comprising:
- a display;
- a communications port;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions in order to:
- receive information from a cable plugged into the communications port, the cable configured to provide communication between the one or more processors and a medical device, wherein the information comprises at least one of a map, an image, or a translation file, wherein the information is generated based on a schema and via a software developers' kit associated with the computing device, and wherein the information indicates whether the data is streaming data, whether the data is waveform data, and whether the data is already determined parameter measurement data;
- determine, from the information, a format of data to be received from the medical device;
- receive the data via the cable;
- adjust the data based on the format to generate adjusted data;
- and
- display the adjusted data on the display.
