Method and system for fail-proof patient monitoring
First Claim
1. A patient monitoring method, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a patient monitoring apparatus, one or more clinical parameters associated with condition of a patient;
identifying, by the patient monitoring apparatus, a clinical condition based on deviation of the monitored one or more clinical parameters from corresponding one or more first predefined criteria;
determining, by the patient monitoring apparatus, a status associated with one or more devices that monitor the deviated one or more clinical parameters;
generating, by the patient monitoring apparatus, a clinical alert based on the determined status not indicating an error by the one or more devices; and
generating, by the patient monitoring apparatus, a machine alert based on the determined status indicating the error by the one or more devices, wherein the generated machine alert is rated per one or more defined conditions to determine an impact on the patient.

Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to patient monitoring techniques, and more specifically to a method and a system to reduce false alarms generated by the patient monitoring system, the false alarms being associated with clinical condition of the patient. Disclosed herein is a patient monitoring method that includes monitoring one or more clinical parameters associated with condition of a patient, identifying a clinical condition based on deviation of the monitored one or more clinical parameters from corresponding one or more first predefined criteria, determining a status associated with one or more devices that monitor the deviated one or more clinical parameters, and generating a clinical alert based on the determined status not indicating an error by the one or more devices.

7. A patient monitoring system, the system comprising:
-
at least one processor; at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing processor executable instructions which when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to; instruct each of one or more devices, in communication with the processor, to monitor an associated clinical parameter; identify a clinical condition of a patient based on deviation of the monitored one or more clinical parameters from a corresponding one or more first predefined criteria; determine a status associated with each of the one or more devices monitoring the deviated one or more clinical parameters; generate a clinical alert based on the status not indicating an error by the one or more devices; and generate a machine alert based on the determined status indicating the error by the one or more devices, wherein the generated machine alert is rated per one or more defined conditions to determine an impact on the patient. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for monitoring a patient comprising executable code which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps:
-
monitoring one or more clinical parameters associated with condition of a patient; identifying a clinical condition based on deviation of the monitored one or more clinical parameters from corresponding one or more first predefined criteria; determining a status associated with one or more devices that monitor the deviated one or more clinical parameters; generating a clinical alert based on the determined status not indicating an error by the one or more devices; and generating a machine alert based on the determined status indicating the error by the one or more devices, wherein the generated machine alert is rated per one or more defined conditions to determine an impact on the patient. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
