Abstract

A mobile processing device system for patient monitoring data acquisition includes a repository of information. The information associates a particular patient monitoring device type for displaying a particular patient parameter with a particular text label identifying the particular patient parameter. A portable processing device includes an imaging device for acquiring image data representing an image presenting patient parameter data from the particular patient monitoring device type. An image recognition processor uses the information, for analyzing the image data to identify the particular text label identifying the particular patient parameter and a value of the particular patient parameter. An output processor communicates data representing the particular patient parameter and the value to a destination.

Claims

1. A computerized system, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;

capture, via a mobile device, patient data information for a patient from an interface of a non-connected medical device associated with the patient, wherein the patient data information is captured in an image format, and wherein the patient data information is clinical data for the patient;

recognize separators of text on the interface of the non-connected medical device;

recognize the patient data information using image recognition and Optical Character Recognition;

providing the patient data information on the mobile device; and

communicate the patient data information to a destination.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the destination is a healthcare information system (HIS).

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the destination is remote from the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is separate from the medical device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the image is captured utilizing an image capture device.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient data information is vital sign information.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer-useable instructions cause the one or more processors to receive, via the mobile device, user edits or confirmation of the displayed patient data information.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein recognizing characteristics of the non-connected medical device comprises comparing information received about the non-connected medical device with stored information regarding a plurality of non-connected medical devices.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer-useable instructions cause the one or more processors to transcribe the patient data information captured from the interface of the non-connected medical device from the image format to a text format that represents the patient data information.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein recognizing the patient data information comprises recognizing a parameter value and a text label.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the computer-useable instructions cause the one or more processors to provide the text format representing the patient data information on an interface of the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the transcription is performed using Optical Character Recognition.

13. The system of claim 10, further comprising checking the parameter value against a normal value range.
