Graphical Tools For Obtaining Data From A Medical Device
First Claim
1. A system for collecting and interpreting data to be used in a hospital or clinical environment, the system comprising:
- a first set of medical devices configured to generate data in different formats; and
a first device server coupled with the first set of medical devices, and comprising a data interpretation module configured to identify data associated with each medical device in the first set, interpret the data associated with each medical device in the first set, and identify type of data associated with each medical device in the first set, and comprising graphical tools configured to generate a user interface allowing a user to manipulate interpreted data according to type of medical device, wherein the first device server is further configured to transmit the user interface and interpreted data to a hospital or clinical information system (H/CIT).

Abstract
A system and method to allow for connectivity of a plurality of medical devices in a health care setting and the delivery of data from those medical devices to an individual to utilize the information received is provided. In typical medical devices, the reporting of data is distinct and hard to interpret. The present invention provides a set of graphical tools that allow the interpretation of different data from different medical devices. Additionally, the present invention provides a set of software tools that allows the data received from a plurality of different medical devices to be separated into more appropriate fields based on pre-determined configuration to assign specific flagged data to specific devices. This information allows the user to receive data whereby the data is previously interpreted to determine from what medical device the information has been received and how to interpret the data for further processing. The present invention also allows for interpreted data received from a plurality of medical devices to be sent to a health care information system department for further processing and analysis.
