Embodiment Construction

[0012] The present inventors have recognized that a wireless monitoring system is desirable for patient comfort, eg, to provide more comfort and mobility to the patient being monitored. Patient movement is not inhibited by wires between sensor devices and / or computing devices that collect and process physiological data from the patient. Accordingly, small sensing devices and sensors that can be easily attached to a patient's body are desired, such as sensing devices that are wearable portable computing devices. However, the present inventors have recognized that wearable monitoring systems present certain new challenges due to the fact that patient movement is less inhibited and monitoring equipment needs to be adjusted to the patient's context, such as adjusting monitoring and alarms to take into account the patient's current Activity. Part of interpreting the patient's activity, and thus the physiological data recorded from the patient, includes identifying conditions where...

Abstract

A patient monitoring system includes a sensing device configured to measure physiological parameter data from a patient, an identification transmitter that transmits an identification signal, whereinthe identification signal is associated with the patient, and a location tracking system having a plurality of identification receivers arranged in a care facility that receive the identification signal from the identification transmitter and determine a patient location within the care facility based on a location of receipt of the identification signal. The patient monitoring system further includes a contextual alarming module that receives the patient location and selects at least one location-specific alarm rule based on the patient location in the care facility. Physiological parameter data is then assessed by the patient monitoring system based on the location-specific alarm rule.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices, and more particularly to medical monitoring devices, especially wireless monitoring devices and systems, for monitoring the physiological and health status of patients. [0002] In the field of medicine, physicians often desire to continuously monitor various physiological characteristics of their patients. Typically, such monitoring of various physiological characteristics involves the simultaneous use of several separate monitoring devices, such as pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, heart monitors, temperature monitors, and the like. Many standard patient monitoring devices are large and bulky, tethering the patient to the bedside device via physical wires or cables that inhibit patient movement and require the patient to remain in one location or move while the patient moves from one place to another. Carry a large monitor with you when you are in one place, and this discourages...
