Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present disclosure relates to the transmission and storage of diagnostic tests with the goal of enabling scalability of the test types and the diagnostic measurements involved.

[0015] One challenge in creating a multipurpose diagnostic application is the ability to add and support new diagnostic test types and measurements over time. Examples of diagnostic test types that may be supported include: vital signs, resting ECG, spirometry, exercise ECG, Holter, and the like. A major concern in adding new test types and measurement results to an existing system is how to handle the transfer and storage of these new types while minimizing changes to existing code and database structures.

[0016] It is an object of the present disclosure to create an extensible transport and storage schema for test and measurement types so that their definitions do not need to be changed when new diagnostic test and measurement types are added to the application.

[0017] A general solu...

Abstract

A method for extending a functionality of a computing device programmed to obtain physiological measurements from a patient includes: registering, at the computing device, a plug-in module, the plug-in module providing additional functionality for the computing device; using the plug-in module to communicate with a medical device; commanding the medical device to obtain physiological information from a patient; receiving data associated with the physiological information from the medical device; and transferring the data to a central repository.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 319,707, filed March 31, 2010, the entire contents of which, including the contents presented in that application, are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Medical practitioners, such as nurses and doctors, use various types of medical equipment to assist in the task of providing medical care to patients. Some medical devices are designed to perform multiple functions, such as temperature measurement and blood pressure measurement. Such multifunction devices may be limited in functionality based on the type of activity and the medical device with which the device has been programmed to interface. Contents of the invention [0004] In one aspect, a software platform for a medical diagnostic application (application) includes: a computing device, including memory and a processor that, when executing instructions stored on the memory, the proce...
