As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for displaying a plurality of bedside devices in a converged manner (hereinafter referred to as "method"), which can be applied to a monitoring device, such as a central station or a monitor.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an embodiment of a monitoring device, which may include a communication device 110, a memory 120, a processor 130, a display 140, and an input device 150. Wherein, the memory 120 is used for storing programs; processor 130 is configured to call the program stored in memory 120 to perform the method of the embodiments of the present invention; the communication device 110 is used for communicating (e.g., data transmission) with an external device (e.g., a bedside device); the display 140 and the input device 150 serve as human-computer interaction devices of the monitoring device, and the display 140 is used for outputting visual information, such as displaying data processed by the processor 130; the input device 150 is used for receiving input of a user, and may employ various devices such as a mouse, a keyboard, a trackball, a touch pad, a touch screen, and the like. Wherein the processor 130 is connected to the communication device 110, the memory 120, the display 140, and the input device 150, respectively, such as via a bus system and/or other type of connection mechanism (not shown). The memory 120 may be used to store programs and data, including those involved in embodiments of the present invention, and the processor 130 executes various functional applications of the monitoring device and data processing by executing the programs stored in the memory 120.

The display 140 of the monitoring device displays a display interface, which is a main interface of the display 140 and is specifically used for displaying a plurality of items of information associated with the patient, such as identity information of the patient, bed information, and at least one item of vital sign information, etc., wherein the identity information and the bed information of the patient can be obtained through user input or by a bedside device, the vital sign information is obtained through data transmitted to the monitoring device by the bedside device connected to the patient, since there are a plurality of bedside devices connected to the patient, and one item of vital sign information corresponding to the data transmitted by each bedside device may include a plurality of types of data, such as waveforms, numbers, images, etc. Therefore, the amount of information that needs to be displayed by each patient in the display interface of the display 140 is large, and based on this situation, the display mode of the display interface of the display 140 of this embodiment may be different according to the number of patients monitored by the monitoring device.

When the monitoring device monitors only one patient, the processor 130 may directly display all information associated with the patient in the display interface of the display 140, or may display a display frame in the main display interface of the display 140, where only important information associated with the patient, such as alarm information, identity information, bed information, and important vital sign information (e.g., an electrocardiogram), is displayed in the display frame, and when a medical worker needs to observe detailed data corresponding to all vital sign information associated with the patient, the medical worker may operate the display frame of the display interface through the input device 150 (e.g., click the display frame), issue an instruction to operate the display frame, and after receiving the instruction to operate the display frame, the processor 130 displays the dedicated interface of the patient corresponding to the selected display frame in response to the instruction, where the dedicated interface displays detailed information associated with the patient, where the detailed information includes detailed data corresponding to each vital sign information associated with the patient.

When the monitoring device monitors a plurality of patients, as shown in fig. 3, the processor 130 may display a plurality of display frames a in the display interface of the display 140, and each display frame a displays alarm information, identity information, bed information and at least one item of vital sign information associated with one patient. Similarly to the above-mentioned situation of monitoring only one patient, when the medical staff needs to observe the detailed data corresponding to all vital sign information associated with the patient, the input device 150 may operate the display frame of the display interface (for example, click the display frame), issue an instruction for operating the display frame, and after the processor 130 receives the instruction for operating the display frame, in response to the instruction, display the specific interface of the patient corresponding to the selected display frame, where the specific interface displays detailed information including the detailed data corresponding to each item of vital sign information associated with the patient. Therefore, various information of the patients is centralized on the display frame for display, so that the key observation is facilitated, and the information of the patients is displayed in frames for distinguishing; the user can monitor the main vital signs of each patient on one display interface, and can master the identity, the bed and the associated alarm of each patient, so that the system is very convenient. Of course, in some embodiments, the alarm information may not be displayed in the display frame a, but may be displayed in other areas or pages. In addition, the number and category of the patient-associated vital sign information displayed in the display frame a can be adjusted as needed.

The method shown in fig. 1 includes steps 10 through 30, which are described in detail below.

Step 10: data transmitted by a plurality of bedside devices connected to a patient is received.

Bedside devices are various medical devices, such as monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, etc., that are located beside a patient's bed, wherein a monitor may also be considered a monitoring device as appropriate. The generated data is transmitted to a monitoring device (e.g., a central station and/or a monitor) by a plurality of bedside devices connected to the patient, and the communication device 110 of the monitoring device receives the data transmitted by the plurality of bedside devices connected to the patient. The communication, data transmission and the like between each bedside device and the monitoring device can adopt wired communication or wireless communication. There are a variety of ways for the communicator 110 to receive data transmitted by the bedside device. For example, in one embodiment, multiple bedside devices may be connected to the monitoring device via wired and/or wireless networks. The bedside equipment can form a data packet by the transmitted data and the equipment ID of the data packet, and after the data packet is transmitted to the monitoring equipment, the monitoring equipment identifies the bedside equipment from which the data comes according to the equipment ID in the data packet.

The processor 130 communicates with the bedside device through the communication device 110, and can determine the device ID of the bedside device, the identity information of the patient connected to the bedside device, the bed information, and the like. For example, the data transmitted by the bedside device may include patient identity information, bed information, etc., which may be associated with the bedside device, and the monitoring device may know the identity of the patient, the bed in which the patient is located, and which bedside devices are connected. The data transmitted by the bedside device may also include data collected by the bedside device from the patient (e.g., one or more vital signs monitored by the monitor), parameter data of the bedside device (e.g., a flow rate of gas from the ventilator, an infusion measurement from the infusion pump), alarm data, and so on.

Step 20: alarm information associated with the patient is derived from the received data. The alarm information comprises alarm content and equipment identification of the bedside equipment as an alarm source. In addition, vital sign information associated with the patient may also be derived from the received data.

In particular, the processor 130 of the monitoring device derives alarm information associated with the patient based on the received data, which may be in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, the data transmitted by the bedside device may also include alarm data. Generally, the bedside device has an alarm function, for example, when the vital sign information of the monitored patient exceeds an alarm threshold, the monitor generates corresponding alarm data and transmits the alarm data to the monitoring device. For another example, when an infusion pump fails, corresponding alarm data is generated and transmitted to the monitoring device. The alarm data includes alarm contents, that is, specifically what data or function is abnormal. Therefore, the vital sign alarm of the patient, the parameter alarm of the bedside equipment connected with the patient, the equipment abnormity alarm and the like are closely related to the patient and belong to alarm information related to the patient. The processor 130 may obtain alarm information associated with the patient based on the alarm content in the alarm data and the bedside device (source of the alarm) from which the alarm data originated.

For another example, in an embodiment, the data transmitted by the bedside device is not alarm data, but is raw data generated by the bedside device, such as vital sign information of a patient, data collected by various sensors monitoring the operation of the bedside device, and the like. The processor 130 of the monitoring device determines whether the data transmitted by the bedside device is abnormal, and if so, generates the alarm information associated with the patient.

As can be seen, the processor 130 may receive the alarm content transmitted by the bedside device, and then obtain the alarm information associated with the patient according to the alarm content and the device identifier, or may generate the alarm content by determining whether the data transmitted by the bedside device is abnormal, and thus obtain the alarm information associated with the patient according to the alarm content and the device identifier.

Step 30: and displaying alarm information associated with the patient, for example, displaying the alarm information associated with the patient in a display frame corresponding to the patient. Specifically, processor 130 displays alarm information associated with the patient in a display frame corresponding to the patient via display 140. And the alarm content is displayed in association with the first equipment identifier of the bedside equipment as the alarm source so as to prompt the alarm source.

When a plurality of bedside devices are connected with a patient, the monitoring device may obtain two or more alarm messages in the same time period, the alarm messages come from different bedside devices, the alarm messages displayed by the display 140 of the invention include a first device identifier, so that a user can easily identify the alarm source of the alarm messages, and the working efficiency of the user is improved.

As shown in fig. 4-6, the alarm information associated with the patient displayed on the display 140 not only includes the alarm content, i.e. No battery in fig. 4, and the user can make corresponding processing through the alarm content, but also includes the first device identifier (b 1, b2, b3, etc.) of the bedside device as the alarm information. The first device identifier may include an icon for identifying the bedside device and/or text for identifying the bedside device, as shown in fig. 5, "b2" is an icon for identifying the Monitor, "Monitor" is text for identifying the Monitor, "b3" is an icon for identifying the ventilator, "ventlator" is text for identifying the ventilator, "b1" is an icon for identifying the infusion Pump, and "Pump" is text for identifying the infusion Pump. The icons are simple and easy to understand and distinguish, and the unfamiliar users can distinguish the icons with the characters.

When only one piece of associated alarm information exists in the patient, the alarm information can be directly displayed in a display frame corresponding to the patient, for example, the alarm information is displayed in a display frame A associated with the patient. When a plurality of associated alarm messages currently exist in a patient, the plurality of associated alarm messages are displayed in various ways, which are described below.

In one embodiment, a plurality of associated alarm messages are displayed in turn in the same display area B of the display frame associated with the patient, so that the display space can be effectively saved. Specifically, only one piece of associated alarm information is displayed at the initial time, next piece of associated alarm information is displayed at the next time of the initial time, recursion is carried out in sequence, and after the last piece of associated alarm information is displayed, one piece of associated alarm information displayed at the initial time is displayed again. When a medical staff needs to observe all the related alarm information of the patient at a certain time, the input device 150 may operate the display area B in the display frame a of the display interface (e.g., click the display area), and issue an instruction to operate the display area, and after receiving the instruction to operate the display area, the processor 130 displays a detailed list of the alarm information of the patient in response to the instruction.

Of course, the display frame a of the display interface may be operated (for example, by clicking on the display) through the input device 150

Box a), an instruction is issued to expand the alert information detail list for the patient, and after the instruction is received by processor 130, the alert information detail list for the patient is displayed in response to the instruction. The alarm information itemization list includes all the associated alarm information currently existing for the patient, and all the associated alarm information is displayed in a sorted manner according to the first device identification in order to facilitate the medical staff to identify the sources of the different alarm information, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 is a transverse alert information detailed list, fig. 6 is a longitudinal alert information detailed list, and the display manner of the alert information detailed list may not be limited. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, when a user monitors a patient on a main interface (for example, fig. 3) of the monitoring device, the user sees an alarm message (located in a region B in fig. 3), for example, the alarm message in fig. 4, and the user operates the input device 150 to click on the region B where the alarm message is located, so that a detailed list of the alarm message can be seen, and the detailed list of the alarm message shown in fig. 5 or fig. 6 can be displayed in a manner of a pull-down menu, so that the operation is very convenient and fast. The alert information in the alert information detail list is selectable (e.g., it may be a virtual key), the user operates input device 150 to select the alert information in the alert information detail list, an instruction is issued for selecting the alert information in the alert information detail list, and processor 130 displays detailed data of the alert content on the display interface of display 140 in response to the instruction. The detailed data can be a piece of original data collected by bedside equipment, for example, the content of the alarm is 'HR Hight > 200', the corresponding detailed data can be heart rate data in a period of time before and after the alarm, and the detailed data can assist a user in analyzing the reason of overhigh heart rate of a patient. For the alarm information in the alarm information detail list, the color can be used for distinguishing the bedside equipment of the source or the alarm level of the alarm information, so that a user can distinguish or obtain more information conveniently. In addition, when all the alarm information related to the patient is displayed in a classified mode according to the first equipment identification, the alarm information is displayed in a classified mode according to the alarm type. The alarm types can include physiological alarms (e.g., vital sign abnormalities), technical alarms (e.g., equipment abnormalities), and other alarms.

In one embodiment, when the monitoring device monitors only one patient, the processor 130 may also directly display a list of alarm information of the patient on the display interface of the display 140, and similarly, the list of alarm information includes all the alarm information currently existing in the patient, and all the associated alarm information is displayed in a sorted manner according to the first device identifier in order to facilitate the medical staff to identify the sources of the different alarm information. The alert information in the alert information detail list is selectable, and processor 130 displays detailed data of the alert content on a display interface of display 140 in response to an instruction for selecting the alert information in the alert information detail list. Of course, the processor 130 may alternatively display the alarm information of the patient in the same display area B in the display frame corresponding to the patient.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the bedside equipment connected with the patient generates the alarm, the first equipment identifier of the bedside equipment as the source of the alarm is displayed in a correlation manner with the alarm content, and the reason of the abnormality and the bedside equipment of the source are prompted, so that the medical staff can quickly determine what abnormality occurs and which bedside equipment the abnormality comes from when looking up the alarm information, and the working efficiency of the medical staff is improved.

As shown in fig. 7, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for facilitating distinguishing a patient from a bedside device (hereinafter referred to as a method), which is also applicable to the above-mentioned monitoring device, and the method includes steps 100 to 300, which are described in detail below.

Step 100: and acquiring the connection relation between the patient and the bedside equipment. For example, the processor 130 of the monitoring device obtains the connection between the patient and the bedside device. The bedside equipment is various medical equipment beside a sickbed of a patient, such as a monitor, a respirator, an infusion pump and the like.

Typically, the monitoring device communicates with each bedside device to determine the connection between each patient and the bedside device. In one embodiment, the step 100 of acquiring the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside equipment includes:

in step 101, the processor 130 receives data transmitted by the bedside device through the communication device 110, where the data transmitted by the bedside device at least includes identity information or bed information of the patient.

There are various ways for the communicator 110 to receive data transmitted by the bedside device. For example, in an embodiment, a plurality of bedside devices may be connected to the monitoring device through a wireless network, specifically, a data packet may be formed by data and a device ID transmitted by each bedside device, and after the data packet is transmitted to the monitoring device, the monitoring device identifies the bedside device from which the data originates according to the device ID in the data packet.

In step 102, the processor 130 obtains the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside equipment according to the data transmitted by the bedside equipment.

Because the data transmitted by the bedside device includes the identity information and/or the bed information of the patient, the processor 130 analyzes the data transmitted by the bedside device, determines the identity information and/or the bed information of the patient corresponding to the data transmitted by the bedside device, and then determines the patient connected to the bedside device. After all the bedside equipment is processed according to the method, the connection relation between each bedside equipment and each patient can be determined. Current bedside equipment possesses more and sweeps a yard function, and each bedside equipment scans patient's wrist strap can obtain patient's identity information and/or bed information etc. later sends for guardianship equipment, and guardianship equipment can confirm the relation of connection between each bedside equipment and each patient, very convenient and fast.

In another embodiment, the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside equipment can be obtained according to the input operation of the user. For example, the medical staff operates the input device 150 to input the identity information and/or the bed information of the patient connected to each bedside device, and the processor 130 determines the connection relationship between the patient and each bedside device.

Step 200: and displaying the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside equipment. Specifically, the processor 130 displays the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside device on the display interface of the display 140. It can have multiple form specifically, can reflect which bedside equipment that patient has connected need, and in this embodiment, the connection relation between patient and the bedside equipment is shown in step 200, include: as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the processor 130 displays the second device identifier of the bedside device connected to the patient through the display 140, and reflects the connection relationship of the bedside device to the patient by displaying the second device identifier. The second device identifier in this embodiment includes an icon for identifying a bedside device and/or a text for identifying a bedside device, and the second device identifier may be the same as or different from the first device identifier.

When the monitoring device monitors a patient, the processor 130 displays the device identifiers of all bedside devices connected to the patient on the display interface of the display 140, i.e., provides a list of devices connected to the patient, as shown in fig. 9, and may also display the identity information, bed position information, etc. of the patient.

When the monitoring devices monitor multiple patients, the processor 130 displays all bedside devices connected to each patient on the display interface of the display 140. As shown in fig. 8, there may be many bedside devices for each patient, and they may be displayed in the form of a list or list, and may also display the department, identity information, bed information, etc. of each patient. The second device identification of the bedside device in fig. 8 is presented in the form of a device name, a device number, a device ID, etc. The equipment identification is displayed according to the classification of the patient or the bed, so that the user can distinguish the equipment identification conveniently.

Therefore, no matter whether the monitoring device monitors one patient, one patient in one ward or one patient in one department, the medical staff can master the use condition of each bedside device.

Step 300: the processor 130 receives an instruction from the user regarding the target bedside device as the target through the input device 150, and outputs a corresponding trigger instruction in response to the instruction, where the trigger instruction is at least used to trigger the target bedside device to send a response to confirm the actual connection relationship between the target bedside device and the patient. The target bedside device may be one or more bedside devices selected by the user from all bedside devices to which the patient is connected, for example, if the user selects one or more bedside devices to which the patient is connected through the input device, the target bedside device is instructed; the user may operate the monitoring device at the patient's room to confirm the patient's connection to the bedside device by selecting the bedside device and receiving a response in conjunction with visual inspection of the patient's connected bedside device. The target bedside device may also be all bedside devices to which the patient is connected, for example, a shortcut key is set, and the user clicks the shortcut key to issue an instruction targeting the target bedside device. Therefore, the user can distinguish the connection relationship between the patient and the bedside equipment by one key, and the method is very quick. The trigger command can be directly sent to the target bedside equipment to enable the target bedside equipment to send out a response, and the target bedside equipment can also send out a response through the control of other equipment.

In this embodiment, the step 300 of receiving, by the processor 130 through the input device 150, an instruction directed to the target bedside device by the user may include: processor 130 receives a user-initiated instruction to select a second device identification via input device 150. For example, as shown in fig. 8, the user may click on the device identifier of the bedside device to be selected in the device list of the whole department, that is, issue an instruction for selecting a second device identifier; for another example, as shown in fig. 9, the user may also click on the device identifier of the bedside device to be selected in the list of devices associated with each patient, i.e., issue an instruction for selecting a second device identifier. In some embodiments, the second device identifier may be multiple-selectable, that is, the user may select multiple second device identifiers at the same time and issue an instruction for selecting multiple second device identifiers. In some embodiments, the device id may be fully selected, for example, the user clicks the shortcut key to issue an instruction for selecting all the second device ids. These commands may all pertain to commands targeted to the target bedside device.

Although the monitoring device can determine the connection relationship between the bedside device and the patient according to the transmitted data or the input of the medical staff, the same bedside device may be used by the patient A and then by the patient B, and at this time, if the medical staff forgets to update the connection relationship between the bedside device and the patient, the connection relationship between the bedside device and the patient may be wrong, so that the actual connection relationship between the bedside device and the patient needs to be confirmed.

After receiving an instruction sent by the user to select a second device identifier, the processor 130 outputs a trigger instruction to the target bedside device corresponding to the selected device identifier in response to the instruction; after receiving an instruction sent by a user and used for selecting a plurality of second equipment identifications, responding to the instruction, and outputting a trigger instruction to a plurality of target bedside equipment corresponding to the selected plurality of equipment identifications; and after receiving an instruction sent by the user for selecting all the second equipment identifications, responding to the instruction, and outputting a triggering instruction to all the selected target bedside equipment.
