ALARM NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18651438 titled 'ALARM NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
The abstract describes an alarm notification system that allows clinicians to respond to alarm notifications received on a computing device, providing advanced functionality compared to a pager. The system includes a notification client with user interfaces for viewing patient information, physiological data, trend data, and audio/video feeds. Clinicians can respond to alarms, annotate them, and indicate their availability to respond. Additionally, the system can automatically associate patients with devices or locations.
- Alarm notification system for clinicians
- Notification client with advanced functionality
- User interfaces for viewing patient information and data
- Ability to respond to alarms and annotate them
- Automatic association of patients with devices or locations
Potential Applications: - Healthcare settings - Emergency response systems - Monitoring critical patients
Problems Solved: - Improving response time to alarms - Enhancing communication between clinicians - Streamlining patient monitoring processes
Benefits: - Faster response to critical situations - Improved patient care and safety - Enhanced efficiency in healthcare settings
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Alarm Notification System for Healthcare This technology can be used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities to improve patient monitoring and response to critical events. It can also be marketed to emergency response teams and medical device manufacturers.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the notification client enhance the clinician's ability to respond to alarms? 2. What are the potential implications of automatic patient-device association in healthcare settings?
Original Abstract Submitted
An alarm notification system can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician's device can include a notification client which can respond to alarm notifications. The notification client can also provide one or more user interfaces that enable the clinician to view information about an alarm, such as information about a patient's status, physiological parameter values, trend data, audio/video of the patient, combinations of the same, or the like. Further, the notification client can provide functionality for a clinician to respond to an alarm, annotate an alarm, and/or indicate that the clinician can or cannot respond to the alarm, among other features. In addition, the clinician device can also (or instead) include an admit module that provides for automatic association of a patient to a device or location.
