System and Method for Assuring Patient Medication and Fluid Delivery at the Clinical Point of Use
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a wearable electronic device configured to be worn by a user comprising;
a housing,at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing,a data transmission interface for sending data to or receiving data from an external electronic device,a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user,a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory, anda program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor;
a fluid delivery apparatus for passively or actively delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient; and
one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus,wherein the program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

Abstract
A system for confirmation of fluid delivery to a patient at the clinical point of use is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device has a housing; at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing; a data transmission interface; a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user; a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory; and a program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a fluid delivery apparatus; and one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus. The program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

30. A system comprising:
-
a wearable electronic device configured to be worn by a user comprising; a housing, at least one imaging sensor enclosed within or associated with the housing, a data transmission interface for sending data to or receiving data from an external electronic device, a data reporting accessory for providing information to the user, a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory, and a program for acquiring and processing images acquired by the at least one imaging sensor; and an infusion set for delivering one or more therapeutic agents from a fluid container to a patient via a vascular access device, wherein the program determines a fluid flow rate for fluid being expelled from the fluid container by processing a series of images captured by the at least one imaging sensor to determine fluid flow from the fluid container. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)

33. A method for confirming fluid delivery to a patient at a clinical point of use, the method comprising:
-
actuating a fluid delivery apparatus by advancing a movable portion of the fluid delivery apparatus through a body of the fluid delivery apparatus to expel fluid therefrom; acquiring a series of images of the fluid delivery apparatus, as the movable portion is being advanced through the body, with a wearable electronic device having at least one imaging sensor; processing the series of images in real time to determine if the movable portion of the fluid delivery apparatus has advanced to an end-of-use position; and informing a user wearing the wearable electronic device that the fluid delivery is complete when an image showing the movable portion of the fluid delivery apparatus in the end-of-use position is acquired, wherein processing is performed automatically and without an actuation activity by the user. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)
