PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEMS WITH GOAL INDICATORS
First Claim
1. A patient monitor, comprising:
- a medical device interface suitable for operable connection to a sensor;
a display capable of displaying patient physiological data based on input received from the sensor and capable of displaying a goal indicator that indicates an amount of time that the physiological data was within predetermined goal limits; and
a processor configured to analyze the patient physiological data to determine the amount of time that the patient physiological data was within the predetermined goal limits over a goal time frame.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to patient monitors designed to display goal indicators showing progress toward achieving patient monitoring goals. The goal indicators may be displayed on a main monitoring screen of the patient monitors, allowing caretakers to easily evaluate how effective they have been in managing the patient'"'"'s condition. According to certain embodiments, the goal indicators may display a numerical value indicating the percentage of time that a physiological parameter, such as SpO2 or pulse rate, was within predetermined goal limits. The patient monitors further may include user interfaces that enable a clinician to adjust parameters of the goal indicators, such as the goal limits and/or the goal time frame.

15. A method, comprising:
-
determining oxygen saturation levels based on data received from a physiological sensor; comparing the oxygen saturation levels to one or more predetermined goal limits to identify excursion events where the oxygen saturation levels are outside of the one or more predetermined goal limits; calculating, based on the excursion events and a goal time frame, a percentage of time that the oxygen saturation levels were within the predetermined goal limits; and displaying the percentage on a patient monitor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
