Modular components for medical devices
First Claim
1. A medical device comprising:
- a service component configured to detect patient data;
at least one processor coupled to the service component;
a first care protocol module executable by the at least one processor to provide healthcare to a patient at least in part by generating a first request for processing by the service component; and
a resource module executable by the at least one processor to manage access to the service component byidentifying a level of service associated with the first care protocol module, andresponding to the first request by managing the service component to meet the level of service,whereinthe first care protocol module implements a patient care protocol that includes a sequence of actions directed to the patient;
the level of service indicates a level of performance that the first care protocol requires of the service component; and
the resource module includes an electrocardiogram rhythm analysis resource module and is executable by the at least one processor to respond to requests from at least the first care protocol module that fall within a predetermined time window with a single calculated instance of cardiac rhythm data.

Abstract
A medical device is disclosed that includes a service component for use in detecting patient data, at least one processor coupled with the service component, a care protocol module executable by the at least one processor to provide healthcare to a patient at least in part by generating a request for processing by the service component, and a resource module executable by the at least one processor to manage access to the service component by identifying a level of service associated with the care protocol module and responding to the request by managing the service component to meet the level of service. The care protocol module implements a patient care protocol that includes a sequence of actions directed to the patient. The level of service indicates a level of performance that the patient care protocol requires of the resource module. Selective offloading of modular functions is also enabled.
