Abstract:
In a medical workspaces management method, a user identified in a users database (52) is authenticated. At a server computer (10), a virtual session is created including running instances (16) of a plurality of medical applications on the server computer with the instances associated with the authenticated user. Using at least one locating service (20), a current medical content presentation device (30, 32) is identified which is proximate to the authenticated user. At the server computer, a set of rules is applied to determine content of the instances to be presented. This content is pushed from the server computer to the current medical content presentation device. At the current medical content presentation device, the pushed content is presented on a display (40, 42) of the current medical content presentation device.
Abstract:
A system for making data source anonymous including a plurality of data sources, each data source including a data creation engine which creates normalized data in accordance with a common schema and a transformation engine which de-normalizes the normalized data such that the data source cannot be inferred by other data sources and transmits the de-normalized data to a remote computing resource.A remote computing resource receives and stores the de-normalized data from the plurality of data sources.
Abstract:
A system for generating a role-based user interface includes a patient information database which stores patient data relating to a plurality of patients being treated by one or more caregivers. A caregiver information system stores caregiver data relating to the role, status, and location of the one or more caregivers. A decision support system evaluates the patient data and caregiver data and generates a role-based user interface displaying the most clinically meaningful information to the one or more caregivers based on the evaluation of the patient data and caregiver data.
Abstract:
A medical system (10) and method detect arrhythmic events. The medical system (10) includes at least one processor (28, 34, 50) programmed to perform the method. A photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal generated using a PPG probe (12) positioned on or within a patient (14) and a pulse signal generated using an accelerometer (38) positioned on or within the patient (14) received. Features from the PPG signal are extracted to PPG feature vectors, and features are extracted from the pulse signal to pulse feature vectors. The PPG feature vectors are correlated with the pulse feature vectors, and correlated PPG feature vectors and correlated pulse feature vectors are evaluated to detect arrhythmic events.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the detection of a movement and/or a position of an object (1) to be monitored. At least one marker (2) radiating light is arranged in an area of the object (1) such that a camera (4) can capture images of the marker (2), when the object (1) is in a first position. An image processing unit (6) is enabled to detect the marker (2) in the images and to detect a movement and/or a second position of the object (1) in response to determining that at least a part of the marker (2) cannot be detected in one or more of the images. The object (1) may particularly a person laying in a bed and the marker (2) may be arranged adjacent to the bed's lying area (3) so that the system can detect that the person leaves the bed and notify nursery staff or an emergency central.
Abstract:
A medical method and corresponding system for determining outlying patients in a data set of patient physiological alarms. Physiological alarms for patients are received and/or generated. An alarm rate limit for the patients, and/or alarm response limits for clinician response times, are determined based on a clinical alarm management policy. The received and/or generated physiological alarms are analyzed to determine at least one of: 1) patients exceeding the alarm rate limit; and 2) clinicians exceeding the alarm response limits
Abstract:
A patient monitor (8) includes a display (10). Patient values (38) are obtained for one or more known variables of a risk prediction function (30). One or more unknown variables of the risk prediction function are determined, and at least one hyperplane (40) is defined as values assumable by the one or more unknown variables. Values of the risk prediction function are computed over the at least one hyperplane using the obtained patient values. A visualization template is selected from a database of visualization templates (50) using template selection indices including the risk prediction function and the one or more unknown variables. Using the visualization template, a visualization (52) of the computed values of the risk prediction function over the at least one hyperplane is displayed.
Abstract:
A method (100) of ensuring optimal use of next generation sequencing (NGS) in complex therapy decision making is disclosed herein. Such a method may include: identifying (105) an infected patient eligible for NGS; determining (110) a patient care trajectory for the infected patient, where this trajectory is determined from database records of physical contact by the infected patient with a healthcare resource; sequencing (115) an isolate from the infected patient; while sequencing, identifying (120) additional patients at risk of infection, determining (125) overlap in the patient care trajectory of the infected patient and patient care trajectories of additional patients, and determining (130) a risk of infection to the additional patients based on this overlap and clinical data points for the additional patients; determining (135) an updated risk of transmission to the additional patients; and causing (140) a computing device to render output of the updated risk of transmission to the one or more additional patients.
