Real-time visual alert display
First Claim
1. An alert system for patient treatment comprising:
- a monitoring device operably coupled to a patient, said monitoring device outputting a monitoring signal in response to a measured parameter of the patient;
a controller receiving said monitoring signal and continuously calculating a secondary, non-measurable parameter of the patient based on said measured parameter, said controller outputting a display signal, said controller determining said display signal based on an automated calculation, whereby said controller actively accesses a medical-related history of the patient derived from an electronic source other than said monitoring signal to determine said automated calculation; and
a display device operably coupled to said controller and receiving said display signal;
said display device having a plurality of display indicia where at least one of the plurality of display indicia is responsive to said display signal, wherein at least two of said plurality of display indicia being substantially shaped as readily-identifiable organs and operable to actively display a condition indicative of associated organs of the patient.

Abstract
An alert system for patient treatment that incorporates patient data to display information in readily identifiable icons for vital organs, and in a useable, real-time, updated fashion that extracts data from the medical history, the current medical management, and the current physiologic monitors to produce warnings and alerts to enable practitioners to be made aware of physiologic systems at risk, (physiologic systems in normal range, borderline normal range, and abnormal range of function). These data are not only presented, but also use real-time queries and calculations to enable practitioners to have the types of data that would traditionally assist them in patient care but only be available by reviewing the medical literature and/or doing retrospective individual calculations while providing patient care.

12. An alert system for patient treatment comprising:
-
a monitoring device operably coupled to a patient, said monitoring device outputting a monitoring signal in response to real-time physiological data of the patient; a controller receiving said monitoring signal and continuously calculating a non-measurable parameter of the patient based on said real-time physiological data, said controller outputting a display signal, said controller determining said display signal based on an automated calculation, whereby said controller actively accesses a medical-related history of the patient derived from an electronic source other than said monitoring signal to determine said automated calculation; and a display device operably coupled to said controller and receiving said display signal;
said display device having a plurality of display indicia where at least one of the plurality of display indicia is responsive to said display signal, wherein at least two of said plurality of display indicia being substantially shaped as readily-identifiable organs and operable to actively display a condition indicative of associated organs of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
