Abstract

A data integration and display system; the system capturing and integrating digital output data from a plurality of disparate physiological monitoring equipment monitoring the physiological states of a patient; the digital output data configured for display on a single graphical display screen as icons.

Claims

1. A data integration and display system;

the system capturing and integrating digital output data from a plurality of disparate physiological monitoring equipments monitoring the physiological states of a patient;

the digital output data configured for display on a single graphical display screen as icons.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the physiological monitoring equipments include monitors of circulation, oxygenation, ventilation and anaesthetic states of the patient.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the graphical display screen represents each of the physiological states by icons color-coded to represent predefined ranges of the physiological states.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the display comprises four icons respectively representative of the circulation, oxygenation, ventilation and anaesthetic states.

5. The system of claim 3 wherein the icons are presented as an array of discs.

6. The system of claim 3 wherein the color of the icons switches between green, yellow and red;

each color corresponding to a predefined range of amplitude values generated by the respective monitoring equipment.

7. The system of claim 3 wherein the icons comprise a dynamic display of the physiological states as monitored by the respective monitoring equipments;

the display including a bar representing values between zero and an upper limit for Systole, BIS and End-tidal C0₂.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the bar is a vertical bar.

9. The system of claim 7 wherein an extent of a portion of the vertical bar displaying a color switchable between green, yellow and red, represents an instantaneous amplitude value of C0₂;

the colors green, yellow and red representing ranges of fresh gas composition.

10. The system of claim 7 wherein a first level indicator is moveable along the vertical bar;

position of the indicator along the vertical bar indicative of systolic pressure.

11. The system of claim 7 wherein the level indicator switches between display and non display of a color of the first level indicator;

the rate of switching indicative of a pulse rate of a patient.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the first level indicator comprises a pair of opposing arrow heads located on either side of the vertical bar.

13. The system of claim 7 wherein a second level indicator is movable along the vertical bar;

the second level indicator switchable in color between green, yellow and red;

position of the second level indicator indicative of the level of BIS score;

the color of the second level indicator indicative of BIS range.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the second level indicator comprises a disc moving within the vertical bar.

15. The system of claim 7 wherein a central one fifth portion of the vertical bar is displayed in a frame;

the frame providing a reference for preferred levels of each of the indicators associated with the vertical bar.

16. The system of claim 4 wherein the icons are included in the display of a smart watch.

17. The system of claim 4 wherein the icons are projected onto a lens of a pair of smart glasses.

18. The system of claim 1 wherein the physiological monitoring equipment(s) are adapted to transmit amplitude data to a digital input/output device.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein the digital input/output device is a smart phone.

20. The system of claim 18 wherein software implemented on the digital input/output device processes received amplitude data for output as a graphical display.

21. The system of claim 20 wherein graphical display data prepared by the digital input/output device is displayed on a display screen of the digital input/output device.

22. The system of claim 20 wherein graphical display data prepared by the digital input/output device is transmitted for display on a display screen of a smart watch.

23. The system of claim 20 wherein graphical display data prepared by the digital input/output device is projected for display on a lens of a pair of smart spectacles.

24. A method of monitoring physiological states of a patient;

the method including

processing digital output data from a plurality of monitoring equipments,

configuring the digital output data for display on a single display screen as icons.

25. The method of claim 24 wherein the digital output data comprises amplitude values generated by the monitoring equipments transmitted to a digital input/output device via Bluetooth or WiFi.

26. The method of claim 25 wherein the digital input/output device is a smart phone.

27. The method of claim 24 wherein software implemented on the digital input/output device processes received amplitude values into a graphical display for display on the single display screen.

28. The method of claim 27 wherein the single display screen is a screen of the smart phone.

29. The method of claim 27 wherein the single display screen is a screen of a smart watch.

30. The method of claim 27 wherein the single display screen is a lens of a pair of smart spectacles.

31. The method of claim 24 wherein the graphical display comprises an array of icons;

the icons switchable in color between green, yellow and red;

each color indicative of a range of the amplitude values of respective physiological states.

32. The method of claim 24 wherein the graphical display includes a vertical bar and first and second level indicators;

a portion and color of the portion of the bar and positions of the first and second level indicators representative of respective physiological states.
