Methods, systems, and devices for monitoring and displaying medical parameters for a patient
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a display screen; and
a processor configured to;
receive a plurality of values of a physiological parameter measured from a patient over a period of time,determine if a current value based on the received values is within a normal range of the physiological parameter,cause an alarm indicator to be displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to not be within the normal range, the alarm indicator not being displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to be within the normal range,determine if the current value is within a goal range of the physiological parameter, the goal range being a subset of the normal range, andcause a goal indicator to be displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to be within the goal range, the goal indicator not being displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to not be within the goal range.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for monitoring and displaying medical parameters for a patient. In one embodiment, a display screen can include information related to a physiological parameter being measured from a patient. The information can include a current value based on values of the physiological parameter gathered from the patient over a period of time. The display screen can indicate whether or not the current value is within a predetermined normal range for the physiological parameter and whether or not the current value is within a predetermined goal range for the physiological parameter. The goal range can be nested within the normal range. If the current value moves outside the normal range, an alarm can be triggered. A goal alarm can be triggered if the current value is within the normal range but falls outside the goal range.

5. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of values of a physiological parameter measured from a patient over a period of time; determining if a current value based on the received values is within a normal range of the physiological parameter; causing an alarm indicator to be displayed on a display screen if the current value is determined to not be within the normal range, the alarm indicator not being displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to be within the normal range; determining if the current value is within a goal range of the physiological parameter, the goal range being a subset of the normal range; and causing a goal indicator to be displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to be within the goal, the goal indicator not being displayed on the display screen if the current value is determined to not be within the goal range. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method, comprising:
-
receiving data representing a value of a physiological parameter over a time period, the physiological parameter being measured from a patient; displaying, on a monitoring screen, a current value based on the received values; determining if the current value is within a goal range of the physiological parameter, the goal range having a predetermined upper limit and a predetermined lower limit; determining if the current value is within a normal range of the physiological parameter, the normal range having a predetermined upper limit that is greater than the predetermined upper limit of the goal range and having a predetermined lower limit that is less than the predetermined lower limit of the goal range, wherein one of determining if the current value is within the goal range and determining if the current value is within the normal range occurs after the other; if the current value is determined to be within the goal range, causing a visual goal indicator indicating that the current value is within the goal range to be displayed on the monitoring screen, the goal indicator not being displayed on the monitoring screen if the current value is determined to not be within the goal range; and if the current value is determined to be outside the normal range, causing a visual alarm indicator indicating that the current value is outside the normal range to be displayed on the monitoring screen, the alarm indicator not being displayed on the monitoring screen if the current value is determined to be within the normal range. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
