Personalized patient alarm management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a personalized patient alarm management profile configured to be used when monitoring one or more medical parameters of a patient, the method comprising:
- providing to a processor at least two profile determinants, wherein the at least two profile determinants comprise a clinical environment of the patient, a background characteristic of the patient, a treatment profile of the patient, or any combination thereof; and
determining the personalized patient alarm management profile based on the at least two profile determinants, wherein the personalized patient alarm management profile comprises a contextual threshold value for triggering an alarm, and wherein the contextual threshold value is weighted by an incremental time factor.

9. A medical device having a processor comprising instructions configure to:
-
receive a measured medical parameter of a patient; compare the measured medical parameter to a contextual threshold value; and trigger an alarm when the measured medical parameter crosses the contextual threshold value, wherein the contextual threshold value is weighted by an incremental time factor; wherein the contextual threshold value is determined based on a personalized patient alarm management profile, wherein the personalized patient alarm management profile is based on at least two profile determinants. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A user interface for determining a personalized patient alarm management profile for use when monitoring one or more medical parameters, the user interface comprising:
-
at least two profile determinants, each of the at least two profile determinants comprising at least one user selectable option; and a processor comprising instructions configured to determine a personalized patient alarm management profile based on the at least two profile determinants, wherein the personalized patient alarm management profile comprises a contextual threshold value for triggering an alarm, and wherein the contextual threshold value is weighted by an incremental time factor.
