UNOBTRUSIVE ADVISORS FOR PATIENT MONITOR
First Claim
1. A patient monitor system comprising:
- a signal processor configured to analyze signals from physiological parameter sensors and present physiological data values, plots, and alarms;
a display configured to display the physiological values and plots to a user of the patient monitor system;
an advisor engine, routine, or processor connected with the signal processor to analyze at least alarm occurrences and provide directly actionable advice for reducing alarm occurrences which advice is displayed unobtrusively on the display;
wherein the advisor engine is further configured to;
sense user interation;
cause the display of directly actionable advice to be delayed based on the sensed user interaction such that the directly actionable advice is displayed unobtrusively.

Abstract
A patient monitor system (10) includes a signal processor (30) which analyzes signals from physiological parameter sensors (20) to derive physiological data values, plots, and alarms. A display (12) displays physiological values and plots (42). An advisor engine, routine, or processor (34) is connected with the signal processor to analyze at least alarm occurrences, also in combination with user interactions, and provide directly actionable advice for reducing alarm frequency which is displayed unobtrusively on the display. The directly actionable advice includes specific actions or adjustments which are specific to a current patient, a present situation, or a present mode or setting of the patient monitor system. The unobtrusively displayed directly actionable advice is displayed without the use requesting it.
