SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING MEDICAL MONITORING DATA
First Claim
1. A medical device cable configured to be connectable to a patient monitoring hub, the medical device cable comprising:
- a main cable portion;
a board-in-cable device without a display, the board-in-cable device connected to the main cable portion and configured to couple with a sensor configured to obtain physiological information from a patient;
a connector connected to the main cable portion, the connector configured to connect to a patient monitoring hub;
the board-in-cable device comprising a hardware processor configured to;
calculate a first physiological parameter based on the physiological information;
receive a second physiological parameter from the patient monitoring hub, the second physiological parameter provided by a second board-in-cable device of a second medical device cable also connected to the patient monitoring hub;
process the first and second physiological parameters to generate a third physiological parameter; and
communicate the third physiological parameter to the patient monitoring hub so that the patient monitoring hub is configured to output the third physiological parameter on a display of the patient monitoring hub.

Abstract
A patient monitoring hub can communicate bidirectionally with external devices such as a board-in-cable or a dongle. Medical data can be communicated from the patient monitoring hub to the external devices to cause the external devices to initiate actions. For example, an external device can perform calculations based on data received from the patient monitoring hub, or take other actions (for example, creating a new patient profile, resetting baseline values for algorithms, calibrating algorithms, etc.). The external device can also communicate display characteristics associated with its data to the monitoring hub. The monitoring hub can calculate a set of options for combined layouts corresponding to different external devices or parameters. A display option may be selected for arranging a display screen estate on the monitoring hub.

18. A method of controlling an operation of an external device connected to a patient monitoring hub, the method comprising:
under control of a hardware processor of a patient monitoring hub connectable to a plurality of external devices to the patient monitoring hub, the external devices comprising a wireless dongle, a board-in-cable, or both; receiving device information of a first one of the external devices at the patient monitoring hub, the device information comprising a display characteristic associated with a patient parameter monitored by the first external device; establishing a connection between the patient monitoring hub and the first external device; generating, based at least in part on the display characteristic, a user interface element for managing the patient parameter at the patient monitoring hub; detecting an actuation of the user interface element on a display of the patient monitoring hub; determining one or more adjustments associated with the patient parameter in response to the actuation of the user interface element; and communicating the one or more adjustments to the patient parameter to the first external device, causing the first external device to automatically update its operation based on the one or more adjustments. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
