SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS WITH A SPARKLINE
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a display; and
a processor configured to calculate and to cause the display of one or more physiological parameters of a patient on the display, the processor being configured to cause the display of at least one physiological parameter of the one or more physiological parameters as a sparkline on the display;
wherein the sparkline comprises a horizontal line representative of a baseline value of the at least one physiological parameter, one or more vertical lines representative of one or more past values of the at least one physiological parameter that extend perpendicularly from the horizontal line, and a vertical arrow representative of a current value of the at least one physiological parameter.

Abstract
Embodiments may include displaying a sparkline representing one or more physiological parameters measured by a patient monitoring system. The sparkline may be small and incorporated on a busy graphical user interface such as a ventilator display monitor. The sparkline may be utilized to display a baseline value in conjunction with a configurable amount of values, including, but not limited to a most recent or current value and prior values in order for a caregiver to interpret any differences at a glance. The sparkline may include a background area that represents a boundary and various aspects of the sparkline may be color-coded in order to indicate whether the boundary is exceeded. A channel indicator symbol may be included in the sparkline to indicate which channel is being monitored by the patient monitoring system. Further, the sparkline may be selectable in order to bring up more detailed information.

16. A method comprising:
-
calculating a value for at least one physiological parameter of a patient using a processor; and displaying on a display a sparkline for the at least one physiological parameter, wherein the sparkline comprises a horizontal line representative of a baseline value of the at least one physiological parameter, one or more vertical lines representative of one or more past values of the at least one physiological parameter wherein the one or more vertical lines extend perpendicularly from the horizontal line, and a vertical arrow representative of a current value of the at least one physiological parameter. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory machine readable computer medium comprising computer instructions configured to:
display a sparkline on a patient monitoring system'"'"'s graphical user interface, wherein the sparkline comprises; a graphic comprising; a horizontal line representing a baseline reading of a physiological parameter, a color-coded background area surrounding the horizontal line and creating a boundary that is a configurable percentage of the baseline reading, and a color-coded first shape extending perpendicularly from the horizontal line, the first shape representing a current reading of the physiological parameter, wherein the color-coded background area changes color based on whether the color-coded first shape exceeds the configurable boundary, and wherein the color-coded first shape changes color based on whether it exceeds the configurable boundary; and update the sparkline when a subsequent reading is taken, wherein updating the sparkline comprises displaying a color-coded second shape representing the previous current reading, changing the color-coded first shape to be representative of the subsequent reading, and displaying the color-coded second shape adjacent to the changed color-coded first shape.
