Abstract

A medical system comprising a display is presented. In response to the reception of triggering information, a subset of data is selected from a displayed or non-displayed dataset according to a data priority scheme and the displayed dataset is replaced by the display of the selected subset of data. The display of the selected subset of data uses a variety of rendering options. The triggering information is provided by the user or provided by one or more sensors. The data priority scheme is predefined or computed. It is static or dynamic. The data priority scheme can comprise a threshold which is applied for the selection or determination of the subset of data. Examples of priorities associated with data for diabetes care are provided. A range of displays can be used and combined.

Claims

1. A medical system, the medical system comprising:

a display, wherein in response to the reception of triggering information, a subset of data is selected from a displayed dataset according to a data priority scheme and wherein the displayed dataset is replaced by the display of the selected subset of data.

2. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the display of the selected subset of data uses one or more visual rendering effects such as magnification, enlargement, zooming, minification, minimization, resizing, masking, scrolling, blinking, morphing, distorting, greyscaling, discretizing and/or coloring.

4. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the triggering information is automatically provided by a sensor, wherein the sensor is selected from a group, or is a combination thereof, comprising:

a sensor adapted to perform human face detection, a sensor adapted to evaluate the distance to an human eye, a sensor adapted to detect or analyze breath or smell, a sensor adapted to interpret acceleration data or movements, a sensor adapted to monitor environmental or contextual conditions such as lighting conditions, a sensor adapted do determine an ambient audio level, a sensor adapted to determine a geographic location such as a GPS device, an electroencephalography EEG sensor, an electrocardiography ECG sensor, an electromyography EMG sensor, a sensor adapted do determine a body temperature, a sensor adapted to monitor continuously or discretely a user body parameter such as a blood glucose level or a heartbeat rate or a blood cholesterol level or a blood alcohol level or a blood analyte level.

5. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the data priority scheme is predefined or computed and/or static or dynamic.

6. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the data priority scheme comprises an association of one or more priority ranks with one or more data of the dataset.

7. The medical system of claim 6, wherein the association is locally predefined or remotely retrieved.

8. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the data priority scheme further comprises at least one priority threshold applied for the determination of the subset of data.

9. The medical system of claim 8, wherein the threshold is locally predefined or remotely retrieved.

10. The medical system of claim 1, further comprising,

one or more display devices selected from a group of display devices, or a combination thereof, the group of display devices comprising:

a projector, a television, a computer, a telephone, a car windscreen with projector, a headed-mounted display device such as video glasses or such as a retinal projector.

11. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the dataset is associated with diabetes data, such as blood glucose data, bolus dose, bolus type, basal rate, temporary basal rate, calibration reminder, occlusion probability or event, leakage probability or event, hypoglycemia probability or event, hyperglycemia probability or event, ketosis or ketoacidosis probability or event, maintenance event or reminder such as cartridge or reservoir replacement or battery replacement.

12. The medical system of claim 1, wherein the medical system is a medical infusion system, comprising one or more of the following devices:

drug pump such as an insulin pump, continuous blood analyte monitoring device, multi-injection device such as a drug pen device.

13. The medical system of claim 12, wherein the insulin pump further comprises a processor adapted to select the subset of data or comprises a method of communication adapted to retrieve the selection of the subset of data from the network.

3. The medical system of 1, further comprising,

a user-triggered device, which is selected from a group, or is a combination thereof, comprising:

a touch sensitive surface, a physical button, a portion of a capacitive or of a resistive touchscreen, a motion sensing input sensor adapted to interpret gestures, a sensor responsive to a voice or an audio signal such as a voice recognition device, an eye-tracking sensor adapted to interpret human eye movements.

14. A method, the method comprising:

displaying a dataset on a display;

providing triggering information;

selecting a subset of data from the displayed dataset according to a data priority scheme in response to the triggering information; and

replacing the displayed dataset displayed on the display with the selected subset of data.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the triggering information is provided from a user.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the triggering information is provided from one or more sensors.

17. A computer program comprising instructions for carrying out the method of claim 14 when the computer program is executed on a suitable computer device.
