Abstract
A method, device, and computer program product for managing alarms during a care process are disclosed. Care is provided to a subject according to settings of at least one care device and physiological parameters obtained from the subject are monitored, wherein the monitoring comprises triggering an alarm in response to detection of an alarm event. To enable smooth transfer from an alarm event to normal monitoring state, at least one available control option is determined for recovering from the alarm event. A user is prompted to select one of the at least one available control option, thereby to obtain a user-selected control option and the settings of the at least one care device are adjusted according to the user-selected control option.
