Information Management System and Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013650 titled 'Information Management System and Method
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring a bedside monitoring device to detect alarms, determining their authenticity, and adjusting monitoring criteria if a non-authentic alarm is detected.
- The technology monitors a bedside monitoring device to detect alarms.
- It processes the detected alarms to determine if they are authentic or not.
- If a non-authentic alarm is detected, it adjusts the monitoring criteria that contributed to the non-authentic alarm.
Potential Applications:
- Healthcare: This technology can be used in hospitals and healthcare facilities to monitor patients' vital signs and detect alarms for timely intervention.
- Home Monitoring: It can be applied in home healthcare settings to monitor patients remotely and detect any potential alarms.
- Industrial Monitoring: The technology can be used in industrial settings to monitor equipment and detect alarms for maintenance or troubleshooting purposes.
Problems Solved:
- False Alarms: The technology helps in reducing false alarms by determining the authenticity of detected alarms.
- Alarm Fatigue: By adjusting monitoring criteria based on non-authentic alarms, the technology can help reduce alarm fatigue among healthcare providers.
Benefits:
- Improved Patient Safety: By accurately detecting and authenticating alarms, the technology can contribute to timely interventions and improved patient safety.
- Efficient Resource Utilization: By reducing false alarms and alarm fatigue, healthcare providers can allocate their resources more efficiently.
- Enhanced Monitoring Accuracy: Adjusting monitoring criteria based on non-authentic alarms can improve the accuracy of the monitoring system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: monitoring a bedside monitoring device to detect the occurrence of alarms, thus defining detected alarms; processing the detected alarms to determine their authenticity; and if a detected alarm is determined to be non-authentic, adjusting one or more monitoring criteria that was instrumental in producing the non-authentic detected alarm.
