1. A method of visualizing a bridge therapy process, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving coagulation data describing a haemostatic situation of a blood circulation of a patient at a computer having a processor and a display, anddisplaying, on the display of the computer, the coagulation data to a user by means of a graphical representation, the displaying including;
displaying a first value measured by a first type of blood test, wherein the first value indicates a first effect of a heparin like drug on the haemostatic situation, andsimultaneously to the displaying of the first value displaying a second value measured by a second type of blood test, wherein the second value indicates a second effect of a vitamin K antagonist type anticoagulant on the haemostatic situation, andwherein the first and second values describe the haemostatic situation of the blood circulation at a first point in time and are simultaneously displayed as a first point within an X and Y coordinate system having the first value for the X axis and the second value for the Y axis.

Abstract
The present invention provides for a simultaneous graphical representation, a risk of bleeding and a risk of thrombosis providing a visualized bridge therapy process. Furthermore, the present invention provides for a computer-based prediction of the haemostatic situation of the examined blood circulation by using a combination of a biochemical model and a pharmacokinetic model for calculation or another mathematical representation of the blood circulation.

11. A user interface device for visualizing a bridge therapy process, the user interface comprising:
-
a user interface configured to receive coagulation data describing a haemostatic situation of a blood circulation of a patient, a display configured to display the haemostatic situation of said blood circulation including; displaying a first value measured by a first type of blood test, wherein the first value indicates a first effect of a heparin like drug on the haemostatic situation, and simultaneously displaying a second value measured by a second type of blood test, wherein the second value indicates a second effect of a vitamin K antagonist type anticoagulant on the haemostatic situation; wherein the first and second values describe the haemostatic situation of the blood circulation at a first point in time; and wherein the first and second values are simultaneously displayed as the first point within a two-dimensional coordinate system having an axis for the first type of blood test and a different axis for the second type of blood test. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium in which a program element for visualizing a bridge therapy process is stored, which, when being executed by a computer including a processor and a display performs a method including:
-
receiving coagulation data describing a haemostatic situation of a blood circulation including at least; a first value measured at a first point in time by a first type of blood test that indicates an effect of a heparin like drug on the haemostatic situation, and a second value measured at the first point in time by a second type of blood test that indicates an effect of a vitamin K antagonist type anticoagulant on the haemostatic situation, displaying, on the display, a two-dimensional coordinate system having a first axis representing the first type of blood test and a second axis representing the second type of blood test, and plotting a point in the two-dimensional coordinate system representing the effect at the first point in time of both the heparin like drug and the vitamin K antagonist type anticoagulant, the plotted point having the first value on the first axis and the second value on the second axis.
