Augmented acknowledgement of alarms and messages in mobile health systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing response to patient alarms by clinical care users, comprising:
- maintaining, in association with an alarm management system, models of alarm response behavior for one or more users;
receiving, at the alarm management system, an alarm indication associated with a patient;
receiving, at the alarm management system, an alarm context associated with the alarm indication;
determining, at the alarm management system, a target user from among the one or more users as associated with the patient;
determining, at the alarm management system, alarm response options to be offered to the target user according to evaluating the alarm context and the model of response behavior associated with the target user;
transmitting the alarm indication and the determined alarm response options from the alarm management system to a system associated with the target user over a network;
receiving, at the alarm management system, a response to the transmitted alarm from the system associated with the target user;
interpreting, at the alarm management system, the received response to the transmitted alarm; and
adapting, at the alarm management system, the model of response behavior associated with the target user in light of the received response to the transmitted alarm.

Abstract
Systems and methods can support managing clinical care user responses to patient alarms. An alarm management system can maintain models of alarm response behavior for the clinical care users. The system can receive an alarm indication and an alarm context from a patient. A target user associated with the patient can be determined. The system can determine alarm response options to be offered to the target user. The system can transmit the alarm indication and the determined alarm response options from the alarm management system to a mobile device associated with the target user. The system can receive a response to the transmitted alarm from the target user. The system can interpret the received response to the transmitted alarm. The model of response behavior associated with the target user can be adapted in light of the received response to the transmitted alarm.

11. A medical alarm management system, comprising:
-
one or more processing units, and one or more processing modules, wherein the medical alarm management system is configured by the one or more processing modules to; maintain models of alarm response behavior for one or more users; receive an alarm indication associated with a patient; receive an alarm context associated with the alarm indication; determine a target user from among the one or more users as associated with the patient; determine alarm response options to be offered to the target user according to evaluating the alarm context and the model of response behavior associated with the target user; transmit the alarm indication and the determined alarm response options from the alarm management system to a system associated with the target user over a network; receive a response to the transmitted alarm from the system associated with the target user; interpret the received response to the transmitted alarm; and adapt the model of response behavior associated with the target user in light of the received response to the transmitted alarm. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein that, when executed by one or more computing devices, perform a method comprising; establishing a rule engine comprising rules for managing patient alarms within a hospital enterprise; maintaining models of alarm response behavior for one or more users; receiving an alarm indication from a medical device associated with a patient; determining a target user from among the one or more users as associated with the patient; determining alarm response options to be offered to the target user by applying one or more of the rules to evaluating the alarm indication and the model of response behavior associated with the target user; transmitting the alarm indication and the determined alarm response options from the alarm management system to a system associated with the target user over a network; receiving a response to the transmitted alarm from the system associated with the target user; interpreting the received response to the transmitted alarm by applying one or more of the rules; and adapting the model of response behavior associated with the target user in light of the received response to the transmitted alarm.
