[0001] This application claims priority to two international patent applications filed on December 30, 2020, with application number PCT / CN2020 / 141349 entitled "Workflow Definition Method, Vital Signs Monitoring Device and Server" and application number PCT / CN2020 / 141347 entitled "Interface Display Method, Monitor and Computer Storage Medium", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

It is widely used in various places such as general wards, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities outside hospitals, and can monitor patients' vital signs temporarily or for a long time.

[0004] Healthcare professionals have diverse needs for vital sign monitoring equipment. Although all devices are used to measure patients' vital signs, the specific workflows vary depending on the purpose and method of use.

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Vital signs monitoring devices are commonly found in wards, emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, and off-site nursing facilities to measure patients' vital signs or provide temporary monitoring. Although all involve measuring vital signs, the workflow configuration information for these devices may differ depending on the monitoring scenario. Current vital signs monitoring devices provide a primary workflow configuration. In actual use, this primary workflow configuration may include many redundant functions for a specific monitoring scenario, leading to numerous operations unrelated to the specific scenario and resulting in poor usability. Alternatively, it may lack the necessary functions for that specific monitoring scenario, also contributing to poor usability.

[0049] Therefore, this application provides a vital signs monitoring device (hereinafter referred to as the monitoring device), which may include, but is not limited to, a patient monitor. Users can customize workflow configuration information (or simply workflow configuration information) for monitoring on this device according to the monitoring needs of the monitoring scenario. See [link to documentation]. Figure 1 This document illustrates a specific flow of the workflow definition method provided in this application embodiment, including steps 101-104. The following method can be performed during the initial power-on setup of the vital signs monitoring device, or through the current working interface of the vital signs monitoring device. In some embodiments, the workflow customization process can be triggered through the main menu controls of the current working interface of the vital signs monitoring device.

[0050] S101: Receive monitoring scenario definition instructions and determine the monitoring scenario based on the monitoring scenario definition instructions.

[0051] Workflow configuration information corresponds to monitoring scenarios. To meet the monitoring needs of different scenarios, this application defines workflow configuration information for each scenario. Therefore, before or after defining the workflow configuration information, it is necessary to determine the corresponding monitoring scenario. Specifically, the monitoring scenario includes at least one of the following: department type and business application scenario.

[0052] Department type refers to the specific location where the vital signs monitoring device is applied. When used in a hospital, the department type can be defined according to the hospital's classification standards. For example, in one embodiment, the department type includes at least one of a region, department, or ward. For instance, department types in FDA regions or the United States include: General Ward, Emergency Department, Doctor's Office, Long Term Care, and ASC (Area-based Surgery Center); department types in CE regions or Europe include: General Ward, Emergency Department, Physician's Office, and ASC; and preset department types in China include: General Ward, Emergency Department, Community Health Service Center, Day Surgery, and Neonatology. In practical applications, different department types can be displayed as monitoring scenarios for users to select based on different regions. The monitoring scenario can be set as the default scenario at the factory. In one embodiment, the default monitoring scenario is a general ward. The monitoring scenario definition command is correspondingly associated with the above monitoring scenarios.

[0053] Furthermore, the method may further include S1011: receiving a department type setting instruction and determining the department type used by the device.

[0054] Business application scenarios refer to the actual business scenarios in which vital sign monitoring equipment will be applied, and are generally determined based on the actual business required by the monitored object. For example, business application scenarios may include at least one of the following: initial admission assessment scenario, ward round scenario, triage scenario in the emergency department, etc.; continuous monitoring scenario in general wards, temporary continuous monitoring scenario, etc.

[0055] The method may further include S1012: receiving a business application scenario definition instruction and determining the business application scenario.

[0056] Understandably, in some embodiments, the monitoring scenario may only include department types, and each department type may correspond to a separate workflow configuration information. In some embodiments, the monitoring scenario may only include business application scenarios, and each business application scenario may correspond to a separate workflow configuration information. In some embodiments, since business application scenarios and department types may have a certain correlation, business application scenarios can be further assigned to department types. A department type can have multiple business application scenarios, and each business application scenario has corresponding workflow configuration information. For example, in a general ward, vital sign equipment may have different business application scenarios such as initial admission assessment, routine point testing, and temporary continuous monitoring. The initial admission assessment scenario corresponds to the first preset workflow configuration information, the routine point testing scenario corresponds to the second preset workflow configuration information, and the temporary continuous monitoring scenario corresponds to the third preset workflow configuration information. Users can establish the initial workflow configuration information configuration by selecting the business application scenario currently used by the device. Alternatively, based on the default preset workflow configuration information configuration, users can edit and modify one or more preset workflow configuration information configurations as needed, and users can also add or delete preset workflow configuration information configurations as needed.

[0057] The monitoring scenarios can also include scenario names that users can customize based on the actual situation, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0058] In one embodiment, the vital signs monitoring device includes a human-interactive interface configured to display information, which includes at least a monitoring scenario definition area. This monitoring scenario definition area 100 includes at least one of a department type definition area and a business application scenario definition area. The department definition area is used to receive department type definition instructions, and the business application scenario definition area is used to receive business scenario definition instructions. In some embodiments, the business scenario pointed to by the business scenario definition instruction is bound to a predetermined workflow. When the business scenario is selected, the predetermined workflow bound to it is selected as the workflow of the vital signs monitoring device.

[0059] In one embodiment, the monitoring scenario can also be determined in other ways, such as the processor determining the environmental information of the vital signs monitoring device; and determining the monitoring scenario based on the environmental information. The environmental information includes one or more of the following: voice data, text data, image data, and device location. Specifically, the user can input voice data into the monitoring device, or the monitoring device can scan text to obtain text data or scan images to obtain image data, or the monitoring device can automatically perform geographical location determination. The processor then uses technologies such as voice recognition, text recognition, image recognition, and location recognition to extract words related to the type and / or location of the medical facility as the monitoring scenario.

[0060] S102: Receive the working mode definition instruction and determine the working mode according to the working mode definition instruction.

[0061] The operating mode definition instruction can be input by the user into the monitoring device. This instruction is used to determine the operating mode to which the defined workflow configuration information belongs. The operating mode is defined based on the continuous monitoring characteristics of the monitoring device. In some embodiments, the operating mode includes a continuous monitoring operating mode and a non-continuous monitoring operating mode. In some embodiments, the non-continuous monitoring operating mode specifically includes a spot check mode, and the continuous monitoring operating mode includes a continuous monitoring mode. It is understood that in other embodiments, the operating mode may also include other modes, as long as they are modes distinguished according to the actual monitoring needs of the monitoring device.

[0062] Point-based measurement mode refers to measuring a patient's vital signs data a single time, or measuring the patient's vital signs data at a specific moment. Continuous monitoring mode refers to continuously measuring and monitoring a patient's vital signs for abnormal changes over a longer period. Specifically, continuous monitoring mode automatically and continuously collects the patient's vital signs data at certain time intervals, such as 1 millisecond, 1 second, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 6 hours, 12 hours, etc. Furthermore, continuous monitoring mode can be further subdivided according to the length of the time interval.

[0063] In some embodiments, different department types can be displayed as monitoring scenarios based on different regions for users to select. The working mode can be set as the default working mode at the factory. In one embodiment, the default working mode is a general ward. In some embodiments, the default working mode can be modified, deleted, edited, or saved. In some embodiments, when switching monitoring scenarios, the measurement mode set under that monitoring scenario is automatically cleared.

[0064] In some embodiments, the monitoring scenario includes a measurement region, which includes at least one of the following: the United States, Europe, and China. In some embodiments, the monitoring scenario includes at least the above-mentioned department types.

[0065] In some embodiments, the department types include at least general wards and emergency departments. When the monitoring scenario is a general ward, the continuous measurement mode includes a continuous monitoring mode; the non-continuous measurement mode includes a ward round mode and an initial assessment mode. In some embodiments, the monitoring page of the initial assessment mode includes an orthostatic hypotension tool.

[0066] When the monitoring scenario is the emergency department, the continuous measurement working mode includes continuous monitoring mode; the non-continuous measurement working mode includes triage mode and spot measurement mode.

[0067] The types of departments further include one of the following: doctor's office, long-term care unit, day surgery room, community rehabilitation center, and neonatology.

[0068] When the department type is a doctor's office or a community rehabilitation center, the continuous measurement working mode includes a continuous monitoring mode; the non-continuous measurement working mode includes a point measurement mode. In some embodiments, when the department type is a doctor's office or a community rehabilitation center, the monitoring page of the point measurement mode includes a height display area, a weight display area, and an average blood pressure tool.

[0069] When the department type is a long-term care ward, the continuous measurement working mode includes a continuous monitoring mode; the non-continuous measurement working mode includes a ward round mode and an initial assessment mode. Since the application scenarios of long-term care wards are similar to those of general wards, the only difference being whether they are in-hospital or out-of-hospital, their working mode settings are also similar.

[0070] When the department type is a day surgery room, the continuous measurement working mode includes a continuous monitoring mode; the non-continuous measurement working mode includes a recovery mode. In some embodiments, the monitoring page of the recovery mode includes a blood pressure parameter display area, wherein the blood pressure measurement is preset with a preset time interval between two measurements, and a preset measurement duration and / or preset number of measurements according to the preset time interval. In some embodiments, the monitoring page of the recovery mode includes a carbon dioxide parameter display area.

[0071] When the department type is neonatology, the continuous measurement working mode includes continuous monitoring mode, and the non-continuous measurement working mode includes spot measurement mode. In some embodiments, when the department type is neonatology, the monitoring page includes a CCHD (Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease) monitoring tool, a blood oxygen display area, and a pulse display area.

[0072] Different working modes can correspond to different types of monitoring scenarios. In one embodiment, the business application scenarios corresponding to the spot testing mode include: initial admission assessment scenario, spot testing scenario in general ward, triage scenario in emergency department, etc.; the business application scenarios corresponding to the continuous monitoring mode include: continuous monitoring scenario in general ward, temporary continuous monitoring scenario, etc.

[0073] Continuous monitoring mode refers to continuously measuring a patient's vital signs parameters over a period of time. In this mode, abnormal changes in vital signs can be monitored and alarms triggered. Spot measurement mode refers to measuring a patient's vital signs parameters at a single time. This mode can store the measured vital signs parameters and further transmit them to other devices. Ward round mode refers to sequentially measuring the vital signs parameters of multiple patients, obtaining the parameters for each patient. This mode can transmit the vital signs parameters of a single patient to other devices. Initial assessment mode refers to measuring a patient's vital signs parameters at a single time and conducting an initial assessment of their physical condition based on the measurement results, such as fall risk assessment. Triage mode refers to measuring a patient's vital signs parameters at a single time to assess the patient's severity or level of illness to determine the appropriate department for treatment. Recovery mode refers to measuring a patient's vital signs parameters at a single time before or after surgery to assess or confirm the patient's condition before or after surgery.

[0074] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the same working mode in different monitoring scenarios can be set according to the needs of each monitoring scenario and may not be exactly the same.

[0075] Workflows can be customized to correspond to different monitoring scenarios. The operating modes of monitoring equipment can also differ depending on the scenario. Therefore, one can either determine the operating mode of the monitoring equipment first, and then determine the monitoring scenario; or one can determine the monitoring scenario first, and then determine the operating mode.

[0076] One specific way to determine the operating mode is for the user to input an operating mode definition command into the monitoring device. This command indicates the operating mode the user wishes to set, and the monitoring device, upon receiving the command, determines the operating mode indicated by the command as the operating mode. The user can input the operating mode definition command through various methods such as physical buttons, touch control, or voice. For example, to facilitate user input of operating mode definition commands, the monitoring device can display an operating mode definition area 200. The monitoring device receives the operating mode definition command input by the operator based on the operating mode definition area 200. Specifically, the operating mode definition area 200 includes operating mode options, such as a spot measurement mode option and a continuous monitoring mode option. When the user selects an option, it indicates that the user has inputted an operating mode definition command into the monitoring device, and the monitoring device determines the operating mode corresponding to the selected option as the operating mode.

[0077] There is no fixed order between determining the working mode and determining the monitoring scenario; they can be arranged arbitrarily or performed simultaneously. Furthermore, there is no fixed order between determining the working mode, determining the department type, and determining the business application scenario; these three can be arranged arbitrarily or performed simultaneously.

[0078] One specific method of determination is as follows: when determining the operating mode, the monitoring device displays at least one alternative monitoring scenario associated with the operating mode. The device operator can select any alternative monitoring scenario, and the monitoring device, in response to the received selection command, determines the alternative monitoring scenario corresponding to the selection command as the monitoring scenario in the operating mode. The monitoring scenario definition area 100 and the operating mode definition area 200 may at least partially overlap, see... Figure 2B This diagram illustrates an example of a monitoring scenario definition interface or a working mode definition interface. The interface includes two working modes: point measurement mode and continuous monitoring mode. The point measurement mode is associated with two alternative monitoring scenarios: the initial assessment scenario and the ward round scenario; the continuous monitoring mode is associated with one alternative monitoring scenario: continuous monitoring. Users can select either alternative monitoring scenario as the monitoring scenario.

[0079] It should be noted that in the implementation shown in the diagram, when a user selects a monitoring scene, it also means that the user selects the associated working mode of that monitoring scene as the working mode. Understandably, in this embodiment, each monitoring scene is associated with its working mode; a single selection by the user selects both the working mode and the monitoring scene, facilitating user operation and simplifying the steps. In one embodiment, the vital signs monitoring device displays a working mode definition area and a monitoring scene definition area, which are the same area. The user can complete the setting of the working mode and monitoring scene with a single tap on the touchscreen. Of course, the monitoring scene and working mode can also be selected separately, and are not limited to this. Figure 2B As shown. Furthermore, with this method, users can select a specific monitoring scenario from multiple alternative scenarios via the interface or a region on the interface; the operation is simple and convenient.

[0080] In some embodiments, the order of steps S1011, S1012, and S102 is not limited and can be arbitrarily arranged and executed sequentially according to actual conditions; they can also be executed simultaneously in pairs, or even simultaneously in all three. In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 2A As shown, S1011 is executed through the department type definition area: receiving the department type setting instruction and determining the department type used by the equipment; then, as... Figure 2BAs shown, S1012 is executed through the business application scenario definition area: receiving a business application scenario definition instruction, determining the business application scenario, and simultaneously executing S102 through the work mode definition area 200, which partially overlaps with the business application scenario definition area, receiving a work mode definition instruction, and determining the work mode according to the work mode definition instruction. Understandably, at this time, the business application scenario is further assigned to each corresponding work mode. The work mode definition area 200 and the business application scenario definition area are the same area or overlap. Therefore, when defining a business application scenario, the work mode is defined. Understandably, the department type definition area, application scenario definition area, and work mode definition area 200 can also be set to the same area or overlap. When one is selected, the other two are automatically selected, facilitating user settings. In some embodiments, the alternative monitoring scenario is bound to predefined workflow configuration information. When the alternative monitoring scenario is selected, the corresponding predefined workflow configuration information is selected. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the predefined workflow configuration information corresponding to the monitoring scenario is named after the monitoring scenario, for example... Figure 2B In this context, "Initial Assessment" and "Ward Rounds" are names of predefined workflow configuration information. In some embodiments, the names of these predefined workflow configuration information can be set to be unchangeable.

[0081] Another specific method of determination is that when the monitoring device determines the working mode, the user can customize the specific workflow configuration information under that working mode through a new method. This workflow configuration information corresponds to the monitoring scenario. For example, the user inputs the name of the customized workflow configuration information using an input device such as a touch screen. This name represents the user-defined monitoring scenario, and the monitoring device identifies this customized monitoring scenario as the monitoring scenario. In some embodiments, storing the name of the monitoring scenario indicates that the monitoring device saves the monitoring scenario. Figure 2B As shown, users can touch the "Add" control under the spot measurement mode option or continuous monitoring mode option in the work mode definition area 200 to add desired workflow configuration information in the selected work mode and name it. The current monitoring scenario can be directly used as the name of the workflow configuration information. In some embodiments, when the name of the newly added workflow configuration information is the same as the name of an existing workflow configuration information, a name conflict prompt will be displayed, requiring the name to be edited again or confirmation to overwrite the existing workflow configuration information with the newly added workflow configuration information. It can be understood that the "Add" control can be a text or symbol tooltip control on the touch screen, for example... Figure 2BThe "+" and / or "Add" buttons shown can also be used to trigger the addition function via a button on the device. This method allows users to freely set monitoring scenarios according to their actual needs, making the process more flexible and enriching the diversity of monitoring scenarios.

[0082] S103: Receives workflow configuration information definition instructions and obtains workflow configuration information for monitoring scenarios and working modes based on the workflow configuration information definition.

[0083] The processor defines instructions based on the workflow configuration information to determine the workflow configuration and generates a monitoring page based on the workflow configuration. The working modes include continuous measurement working mode and non-continuous measurement working mode. When the working mode is continuous measurement working mode, the workflow configuration includes a first workflow configuration under continuous measurement working mode. The processor is further configured to determine a first parameter based on the first workflow configuration under continuous measurement working mode, and receive and process the signal of the first parameter according to the first workflow configuration to obtain a first parameter measurement result. When the working mode is non-continuous measurement working mode, the workflow configuration information includes a second workflow configuration under non-continuous measurement working mode. The processor is further configured to determine a second parameter based on the second workflow configuration under non-continuous measurement working mode, and receive and process the signal of the second parameter according to the second workflow configuration to obtain a second parameter measurement result. A display is configured to display the first parameter measurement result on a first monitoring page according to the first workflow configuration and / or the second parameter measurement result on a second monitoring page according to the second workflow configuration. A memory is configured to store the associated working mode, workflow configuration, and monitoring scenario.

[0084] The workflow configuration information and working mode are used to define the workflow for performing vital sign monitoring. The working mode and workflow configuration information correspond to the monitoring scenario.

[0085] Specifically, the workflow configuration information used varies depending on the monitoring scenario. For example, the initial admission assessment scenario corresponds to workflow configuration information for initial assessment of vital signs of newly admitted patients or patients in the emergency department, typically measuring and monitoring the patient's physiological parameters upon admission. Another example is the ward round scenario, which corresponds to workflow configuration information for ward rounds, primarily involving single or intermittent multiple measurements during patient hospitalization. Yet another example is the emergency department triage scenario, which corresponds to emergency department triage workflow configuration information, primarily involving single or multiple measurements during patient triage in emergency situations. Continuous monitoring scenarios may correspond to workflow configuration information for continuous monitoring in general wards, involving continuous, long-term measurement and monitoring of vital signs for patients in general wards. Of course, monitoring scenarios can include others, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0086] This step involves the user customizing workflow configuration information to suit the specific characteristics of the monitoring scenario.

[0087] Specifically, after determining the working mode, the monitoring device can display the workflow configuration information definition area 300. In one embodiment, the workflow configuration information definition area 300 can also be a workflow configuration information editing interface. It should be noted that the workflow configuration information definition area 300 can be an area or interface independent of the working mode definition area 200 and the monitoring scenario definition area 100; it can be in a different interface from the latter two, or it can at least partially overlap with them. In some embodiments, the workflow configuration information definition area 300 can include one or more interfaces, each used to define the configuration information of the same workflow configuration information in multiple aspects. Users can input workflow configuration information definition instructions in this interface. These instructions indicate the configuration information the user wishes to set. After receiving the workflow configuration information definition instructions input by the device operator based on the workflow configuration information definition area 300, the monitoring device obtains the workflow configuration information based on the instructions. Figure 2B As shown, a close control 306 or a return control (not shown) is provided in the workflow configuration information definition area. Triggering the close control 306 or the return control (not shown) will close the function of the workflow configuration information definition area 300 and save the workflow configuration information. After the user sets the configuration values ​​of each option in the workflow configuration information definition area 300, they only need to click the close control 306 or the return control to save and close the workflow configuration information definition area and save the configuration values ​​of each option, reducing operation steps and saving operation time.

[0088] Workflow configuration information defines the workflow configuration for performing vital sign monitoring. This configuration information is a static representation of the overall workflow; combined with the working mode, the process of performing vital sign monitoring according to the relevant definitions in the workflow configuration information results in a dynamic workflow. It can be understood that the workflow configuration information of the monitoring equipment is used to collect vital sign parameters of the target object. Different workflow configurations may differ in the types of physiological parameters collected, the number of physiological parameter measurements, the calculation method of physiological parameters, the display method of physiological parameters, alarm settings, and other configuration information.

[0089] In one specific implementation, the workflow configuration information definition area 300 may include configuration information for various setting areas, which users can select via touch or other means. For example, the workflow configuration information definition area 300 includes any one or more of the following setting areas: identification information setting area 301, parameter layout setting area 305, parameter configuration setting area, alarm setting area, modular parameter monitoring tool setting area, parameter measurement result processing method, and parameter monitoring auxiliary information. Users define the information for each setting area, and this configuration information is used to comprehensively define what a workflow configuration information is specifically like. Correspondingly, the workflow configuration information definition instructions include at least one of the following: identification information configuration instructions, used to input the identification information of the workflow configuration information; parameter layout configuration instructions, used to input parameter layout configuration information; parameter configuration setting instructions, used to set the configuration information for parameter measurement; alarm setting configuration instructions, used to set alarm-related information; modular parameter monitoring tool configuration instructions, used to select a modular parameter monitoring tool; parameter measurement result processing method setting instructions, used to input the parameter monitoring result data processing method; and parameter monitoring auxiliary information setting instructions, used to set the auxiliary function information for parameter monitoring.

[0090] Regarding the first setting area, which is the identification information setting area 301, it is used to set the identification of workflow configuration information, such as the name of the workflow configuration information. Users can use the monitoring scenario as the identification information, as mentioned above, including the actual usage scenario, area, department, ward, etc., or the scenario name customized by the user according to the actual situation, such as continuous measurement working mode 1, continuous measurement working mode 2, etc., which are not limited here.

[0091] Furthermore, in Figure 2BThe first settings area shown also includes an edit control 302, a copy control 303, and a delete control 304. The edit control 302 can trigger an instruction to edit existing workflow configuration information; the copy control 303 can trigger an instruction to copy existing workflow configuration information; and the delete control 304 can trigger an instruction to delete existing workflow configuration information. In one embodiment, the interface further includes a restore control (not shown) and an exit control (not shown). The restore control can trigger an instruction to restore existing workflow configuration information to the default workflow configuration information; and the exit control can trigger an instruction to exit the workflow configuration information settings. It can be understood that, as Figure 2B As shown, displaying the above controls corresponding to each identifier information facilitates user selection. In other embodiments, the above controls can also be centrally arranged in one area to form a workflow configuration information operation control setting area (not shown). After selecting the identifier information, the desired control can be selected to achieve the purpose of editing, copying, and deleting.

[0092] The second setting area, namely the parameter layout setting area 305, is used to configure the parameters and / or display layout rules displayed on the monitoring page. This includes, for example, the parameters to be displayed, their display positions on the monitoring page, the size of the display area, and their display order. Workflow configuration information definition instructions include parameter layout configuration instructions used to configure the categories and / or display rules of various parameters on the monitoring page. The parameter layout setting area 305 is used to receive the aforementioned parameter layout configuration instructions. Further, the parameter layout configuration instructions include any one or more of the following instructions: instructions for determining parameters; instructions for setting the monitoring order of parameters; and instructions for setting the display method of parameter measurement results. The following details the specific content of some parameters and how the corresponding workflow configuration information definition instructions set the parameter configuration information.

[0093] like Figure 2B As shown, the parameter layout setting area 305 includes one or more parameter setting areas 3051 for receiving instructions to determine parameters. In some embodiments, the parameter setting area 3051 is used to receive instructions to select a parameter from two or more alternative parameters. In some embodiments, the parameter may specifically include a first parameter corresponding to a parameter directly measured by the monitoring device, or a second parameter or care information corresponding to a parameter that needs to be recorded and obtained by the user through other devices or manual operation. In some embodiments, the second parameter may include a user-defined parameter that does not exist in the alternative parameters of the monitoring device. In some embodiments, the parameter setting area 3051 is also used to display the selected parameter. Figure 2BAs shown, after the user selects an identifier named after the monitoring scenario, a workflow configuration information definition area 300 is displayed, used to define the workflow configuration information corresponding to that monitoring scenario. The parameter setting area 3051 includes a parameter setting control 307, through which the user can define the parameters required in the workflow. For example, after the user touches the parameter setting control 307, configuration items including six alternative parameters are displayed: NIBP (Noninvasive Blood Pressure), Manual, SpO2 & PR (oxygen saturation & pulse rate), BMI (Body Mass Index), Pain Score, and Off. The user selects one or more alternative parameters from the above parameter types by selecting configuration items, and the monitoring device determines the parameters selected by the user as the parameters that need to be monitored in the workflow configuration information. It is understood that the above is only one embodiment, and other more clinical parameters may be included, which are not limited here. In some embodiments, parameters can be set directly by clicking the parameter setting control 307 without setting default parameters. In other embodiments, parameters may be set by default, and the parameters can be reset by clicking the parameter setting control 307. Furthermore, the parameter setting control 307 may be located in the area displaying the parameters, allowing modification of the parameters when clicked. This approach provides users with prompts and references, allowing them to easily modify the default settings as needed, simplifying the process.

[0094] When there are multiple parameter setting areas 3051, a first parameter is set through the first parameter setting control in the first parameter setting area. When the second parameter set through the second parameter setting control in the second parameter setting area is the same as the first parameter, the first parameter in the first parameter setting area is cleared. Furthermore, when there are multiple interfaces, for example, such as... Figure 2B As shown, when there are three interfaces (SCREEN 1, SCREEN 2, and SCREEN 3), if the first parameter setting area is located in the first interface, the second parameter setting area is located in the second interface, and the setting values ​​in the other parameter setting areas of the first interface are all empty, if a first parameter is set through the first parameter setting control in the first parameter setting area, and the second parameter set through the second parameter setting control in the second parameter setting area is the same as the first parameter, then the first parameter in the first parameter setting area is retained, and the second parameter in the second parameter setting area is cleared. That is, at least one parameter must be set in the parameter setting area of ​​the first interface.

[0095] In some embodiments, the parameter setting control 307 is used to receive an instruction to determine a custom parameter as a parameter, so that the user can customize the parameter to be measured.

[0096] The workflow configuration information definition area 300 also includes a parameter display order setting control (not shown) for receiving instructions to set the parameter display order, such as... Figure 2B As shown, the order of parameters in the workflow configuration information definition area 300 can be used to indicate the display order of the parameters. In some embodiments, users can define the order in which parameters are collected during a monitoring process by adjusting the arrangement order of the parameters. In other embodiments, a separate parameter monitoring order setting control (not shown) can be added to set the collection order.

[0097] In one embodiment, the parameter layout setting area includes at least one monitoring page layout setting area. Each monitoring page layout setting area includes a preset number of display setting rows. The parameter display area has a preset occupied width. The number of parameters displayed in the display area setting rows is determined based on the row width and occupied width of the display setting rows.

[0098] In some embodiments, the width occupied by each parameter on the monitoring page is shown in the table below.

[0099] NIBP Yes Yes whole line SPO2+PR Yes Yes The entire line, and a single PR, do not exist simultaneously. Single PR Yes Yes Half a line or a whole line, and not existing simultaneously with SpO2+PR. SPO2b Yes Yes whole line Temp Yes Yes Half line or full line RR Yes Yes Half a line or a whole line, not existing simultaneously with CO2+RR CO2+RR No Yes The entire line, and RR do not exist simultaneously. Parameter list No Yes Half line or full line EWS Yes Yes The entire line (license) PAIN Yes Yes whole line

[0100] Manual parameters Yes Yes whole line

[0101] In one embodiment, each monitoring page can have a maximum of four rows of parameters; each row can have one parameter supporting a full row; each row can have one parameter supporting half a row; or each row can have two parameters supporting half a row. In some embodiments, one or more monitoring pages can be set, which is not limited here. In some embodiments, the first monitoring page has at least one parameter. Further, a parameter display area setting control 3052 is provided, used to receive instructions to set the display position of the parameter measurement result; the parameter display area setting control 3052 can be displayed independently on the interface, used to select the monitoring page number where the parameter measurement result is located, for example, the first monitoring page (SCREEN1), the second monitoring page (SCREEN2), and the third monitoring page (SCREEN3), etc. In one embodiment, such as Figure 2BAs shown, the parameter display area setting control 3052 is a screen label. The screen label, parameter setting control 307, and parameter monitoring order setting control are displayed together. A parameter setting area is correspondingly set under the screen label, allowing the user to select parameters using the parameter setting control 307, automatically setting the parameter monitoring order and the screen sequence number for displaying the parameter measurement results according to the parameter arrangement from top to bottom. When the user selects parameters using the parameter setting control 307, the parameter monitoring order and the display method of the parameter measurement results are also determined. It can be understood that all setting controls, including the parameter measurement result display method setting control 3052, the parameter setting control 307, and the parameter monitoring order setting control, can be displayed together, reducing the user's setting operations.

[0102] The parameter layout setting area 305 also includes a locking control 308. In some embodiments, the locking control 308 is disposed in one or more parameter setting areas, such as... Figure 2B As shown. The parameter configuration setting instructions also include a locking instruction for locking the parameter display method. In some embodiments, when the locking control 308 is triggered, the parameter category is locked to the corresponding position on each monitoring page. For example, as Figure 2B As shown, the NIBP blood pressure is in an unlocked state. At this time, different parameter categories can be set in the first row of the first, second, and third interfaces. When the lock button is triggered, the NIBP blood pressure will be locked in the first row of the first, second, and third interfaces. After setting, the NIBP blood pressure will remain displayed in the first row on the monitoring page regardless of which interface is switched, allowing the user to monitor the parameter's status in all interfaces.

[0103] The third settings area, namely the parameter configuration settings area, is used to set configuration information related to the acquisition, processing, and display of signals of parameters collected during workflow execution. For example, it may specifically include one or more of the following settings controls: parameter configuration item settings area, monitoring mode settings area, alarm configuration settings area, and modular parameter monitoring tool settings area. Correspondingly, to define this configuration information, the workflow configuration information definition instructions include parameter configuration setting instructions, which include one or more of the following instructions: instructions for setting parameter configuration option values; instructions for setting monitoring modes; instructions for setting alarm configuration information; and instructions for selecting modular parameter monitoring tools. The following details the specific content of some parameters and how the corresponding parameter configuration setting instructions set the parameter configuration information.

[0104] The parameter configuration setting instructions include commands for inputting parameter configuration values. The parameter configuration setting area includes a parameter configuration item setting area, where configuration items can be empty or preset default values. Users can directly set configuration values ​​during parameter measurement or modify preset default values ​​through configuration item definition commands. Configuration items can include at least one of the following: parameter display color, parameter measurement interval, measurement time, measurement cycle, measurement location, timer duration, waveform speed, waveform mode, gas concentration, sensitivity, volume, sound interval, EWS scoring system, etc. Configuration values ​​can be text, numerical values, or rating levels, such as on, off, blue, green, yellow, high, medium, low, or 1, 2, 3, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, if a user believes that the default parameter types provided by the machine cannot meet the needs of daily work measurement and recording, they can customize the configuration information of user-defined parameters through the manual parameter configuration item setting control according to actual needs. Differentiating parameter customization types allows users to further customize more parameter details. In some embodiments, parameter customization types may include numerical parameters and selection parameters. In some embodiments, the parameter configuration setting area for numerical parameters can accept parameter configuration setting instructions to set the unit, numerical input range, and numerical input precision of the parameter. In some embodiments, the parameter configuration setting area for selection parameters can accept parameter configuration setting instructions to set parameter option content.

[0106] The parameter configuration settings include instructions for setting the monitoring mode. The parameter configuration settings area can include a monitoring mode settings area, where the user selects a monitoring mode option to define the monitoring mode for the parameter. Taking NIBP blood pressure measurement as an example, the measurement modes include routine measurement and two-measurement, etc.

[0107] Using NIBP blood pressure parameters as an example, the NIBP configuration options in continuous measurement mode include: default NIBP measurement position (options: sitting, lying down, standing, unrestricted); default NIBP measurement site (options: left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg, unrestricted); NIBP measurement interval (options: manual, 1 second, 2 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours); NIBP hourly measurement switch (options: on, off); NIBP measurement sequence selection (options 1-5), where the NIBP measurement sequence selection options include the preset number of NIBP measurements and the time interval between each measurement within that number of measurements. In the non-continuous measurement mode, the NIBP module settings include: NIBP measurement mode, which can be selected as single or double measurement; when selecting single measurement, the supported configuration items are: default NIBP measurement position and default NIBP measurement site; when selecting double measurement, it is possible to set two sets of NIBP measurement positions and measurement sites, and the options are the same as those for the single measurement mode.

[0108] Taking SpO2 blood oxygen parameters as an example, the configuration options for SpO2 include: default sensitivity, with options of High, Med, and Low; default waveform speed, with options of 12.5 mm / s and 25 mm / s; and default pulse volume, with options of 0 to 10.

[0109] The description uses body temperature as a parameter. The configuration options for body temperature include: default measurement location, and optional locations: oral cavity, armpit, forehead, rectum, and unspecified.

[0110] The respiratory rate (RR) is used as a parameter for explanation. The respiratory rate (RR) exists in the non-continuous measurement working mode. Its configuration options include: default timer duration, with options of 60s, 90s, and 120s; default beep interval, with options of 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, and 60s, and a default of 15s.

[0111] Using CO2 as a parameter for explanation, CO2 can only be set in continuous measurement mode. The configuration options for CO2 include: default asphyxiation delay (options: 20s, 25s, 30s, 35s, 40s); default operating mode (options: Measure, Standby); default BTPS compensation switch (options: On, Off); default waveform scale (options: 25, 40, 50, 60, 80 for mmHg, 10.0, 8.0, 7.0, 5.0, 3.5, 2.5, 2.0 for kPa, and % for other parameters). 10.0, 8.0, 7.0, 5.0, 3.5, 2.5, 2.0; Default waveform speed, options: 3mm / s, 6.25mm / s, 12.5mm / s, 25mm / s, 50mm / s; Default waveform mode, options: line drawing, fill; Default oxygen concentration, options: 0-100, default 0; Default nitrous oxide concentration, options: 0-100, default 0; Default anesthetic gas concentration, options: 0-24, default 0; Default automatic standby delay, options: Off, 15min, 30min, 60min.

[0112] Using pain scores as a parameter, the following configuration options are included in both non-continuous and continuous measurement modes: Default scoring system (options: NEWS, MEWS, NEW2, and imported custom scoring systems); Scoring confirmation function switch (options: On, Off). In continuous measurement mode, further options include: Automatic scoring function switch (options: On, Off); Dynamic scoring refresh function switch (options: On, Off); EWS alarm function switch (options: On, Off), etc.

[0113] Other parameter configuration options or other configuration options for the above parameters can be set according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0114] The parameter configuration setting instructions include alarm configuration setting instructions, used to set alarm configuration information. The parameter configuration setting area may include an alarm configuration setting area for alarm configuration-related information such as alarm limits, alarm switches, and alarm levels for each parameter. In one embodiment, the alarm configuration setting area only exists in the continuous measurement operating mode.

[0115] The parameter configuration settings also include instructions for setting up modular parameter monitoring tools. The parameter configuration settings area can include a modular parameter monitoring tool settings area, which provides monitoring tools with monitoring functions. Certain monitoring scenarios may require specific monitoring functions; for example, initial assessment in a general ward requires an orthostatic hypotension assessment tool, initial assessment monitoring in some European hospitals requires a multiple blood pressure measurement recording tool, and North American clinic scenarios require an average blood pressure measurement tool and an irregular pulse rate tool in SpO2, etc. Users can select the appropriate monitoring tool as the configuration information for the workflow corresponding to that monitoring scenario based on its characteristics. Understandably, the parameter monitoring tools in the modular parameter monitoring tool settings area can be selected by default in some monitoring scenarios. In one embodiment, when the monitoring scenario includes a neonatal ward, the CCHD monitoring tool remains in its default selected state and cannot be deleted, edited, or copied.

[0116] The fourth setting area, the parameter measurement result processing setting area, is used to configure how the parameter measurement result data is processed. Specifically, it can include the method of sending the parameter measurement results. Users define the sending method by inputting workflow configuration information into the monitoring device. The monitoring results collected by the monitoring device can be sent to devices such as a central monitoring station. The sending method refers to the communication method or timing through which the monitoring data is sent to other devices. For example, depending on the network environment of the medical facility, the communication method can be set to Bluetooth or QR code transmission. Alternatively, the sending timing can be defined as real-time network transmission or offline batch transmission.

[0117] Regarding the fifth setting area, the parameter monitoring auxiliary information setting area, which is used to receive parameter monitoring auxiliary information instructions, it may include any one or more of the following controls: controls for processing personnel information and controls for printing parameters. Correspondingly, the workflow configuration information definition instructions include parameter monitoring auxiliary information setting instructions, which include any one or more of the following: instructions for setting the processing method of the workflow's personnel information; and instructions for setting printing parameters. Specifically, before operating the monitoring equipment, workflow personnel, such as nurses, may need to input their relevant information. In some monitoring scenarios, after obtaining the parameter measurement results, the personnel's relevant information may need to be cleared. For example, in the initial admission assessment scenario, measurements are often taken on a single patient. After obtaining the patient's physiological parameters and saving and sending them, the nurse's login information needs to be automatically cleared. However, in other monitoring scenarios, it may need to be retained. For example, in the ward rounds scenario, multiple patients are often measured one by one. After completing the physiological parameter measurement of a single patient, the nurse's login information needs to be retained for measuring the next patient. It should be noted that whether the workflow executor information is retained or cleared in the workflow corresponding to different monitoring scenarios can be defined by the user through the control on how the executor information is processed.

[0118] In addition, parameter monitoring auxiliary information may also include certain special settings areas, such as selecting a display for showing parameter measurement results. It should be noted that the settings areas for the various workflow configuration information described above are merely illustrative examples, and this application does not impose specific limitations. Those skilled in the art can define the relevant configuration information for workflow configuration based on the actual needs of the monitoring scenario. In some embodiments, special settings may also include a system time setting area, a parameter unit setting area, and a network custom setting area. In the network custom setting area, users can configure the network they are using according to the different protocols of the hospital.

[0119] When the operating mode is a continuous measurement operating mode, the workflow configuration information includes first workflow configuration information under the continuous measurement operating mode. The processor is further configured to receive and process the signal of the first parameter according to the first workflow configuration information to obtain the first parameter measurement result in the continuous measurement operating mode. When the operating mode is a continuous measurement operating mode, the workflow configuration information includes second workflow configuration information under the non-continuous measurement operating mode. The processor is further configured to receive and process the signal of the second parameter according to the second workflow configuration information to obtain the second parameter measurement result in the non-continuous measurement operating mode. A display is configured to display the first parameter measurement result and / or the second parameter measurement result under the continuous measurement operating mode. In some embodiments, there may be one or more displays. When there is one display, the first parameter measurement result and the second parameter measurement result may be displayed on different interfaces of a unified display or in different areas of the same interface. In some embodiments, there may be one or more displays, one display being a display connected to the vital signs monitoring device, and other displays being displays remotely connected to the vital signs monitoring device. The first parameter measurement result and / or the second parameter measurement result may be displayed synchronously on the two displays. The display and the human-computer interaction interface (which may be referred to as the human-computer interaction device) can be the same. In some embodiments, the display is a touch screen, and the human-computer interaction device is the same device. In some embodiments, the configuration values ​​in the settings areas of the newly added first workflow configuration information, except for the identification information setting area 301, are the same as the configuration values ​​in the settings areas of the default first first workflow configuration information under the current monitoring scenario. In some embodiments, the configuration values ​​in the settings areas of the newly added second workflow configuration information, except for the identification information setting area 301, are the same as the configuration values ​​in the settings areas of the default second workflow configuration information under the current department.

[0120] It should be noted that while the above methods can obtain workflow configuration information, as mentioned earlier, the monitoring equipment can determine the monitoring scenario. To establish the correlation between the workflow and the monitoring scenario, it is necessary to establish a correspondence between the working mode, workflow configuration information, and the monitoring scenario. Since both the workflow configuration information and the working mode are used to represent the workflow for performing vital sign monitoring, the correspondence between the workflow configuration information, the working mode, and the monitoring scenario represents the correspondence between the workflow and the monitoring scenario. In other words, the workflow represented by the workflow configuration information and the working mode is the workflow applicable to this monitoring scenario.

[0121] In some embodiments, after a user selects a working mode, the workflow configuration information definition area 300 can be directly displayed for the user to define the workflow configuration information. After displaying the workflow configuration information definition area 300, the selection options for monitoring scenarios can be displayed for the user to determine the monitoring scenario.

[0122] Understandably, there is no specific order requirement between S101, S102, and S103; the order in which the three definition instructions are received can be any combination. Similarly, there is no specific display order requirement for the monitoring scenario definition area 100, the working mode definition area 200, and the workflow configuration information definition area 300. These three display areas can be displayed on the same interface or as separate interfaces; they can partially overlap or be completely independent. Specifically, all three definition instructions can be received simultaneously, two of them can be received simultaneously, or they can be received one by one. For example, the working mode definition instruction, the monitoring scenario definition instruction, and the workflow configuration information definition instruction can be received simultaneously; the working mode definition instruction and the monitoring scenario definition instruction can be received first, followed by the workflow configuration information definition instruction; or the working mode definition instruction can be received first, followed by the monitoring scenario definition instruction, and finally the workflow configuration information definition instruction.

[0123] S104: Save associated work modes, workflow configuration information and monitoring scenarios.

[0124] In this approach, the working mode and workflow configuration information can be stored locally on the monitoring device, or it can be stored on other devices or external storage media. For example, after saving the working mode and workflow configuration information, it can be exported via USB flash drive, remote control system, or other devices. Alternatively, the working mode and workflow configuration information can be uploaded to a data management server for backup or further self-learning based on collected workflows to obtain workflows required for other monitoring scenarios.

[0125] It should be noted that there is a correspondence between the working mode, workflow configuration information, and the target monitoring scenario, and this correspondence is also stored, so that a specific monitoring scenario can be located based on this correspondence. In some embodiments, the workflow formed by the working mode and workflow configuration information has a correspondence with the target monitoring scenario, and this correspondence is also stored, so that a specific monitoring scenario can be located based on this correspondence.

[0126] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the workflow definition method for vital sign monitoring devices provided in this application embodiment allows users to input a working mode definition command to the monitoring device to define the working mode. Then, based on the characteristics of the monitoring scenario, the user inputs a workflow configuration information definition command to the monitoring device. The monitoring device then obtains the workflow configuration according to the instructions in the workflow configuration information definition command. The workflow represented by the working mode and workflow configuration information corresponds to the monitoring scenario. The corresponding working mode, workflow configuration information, and monitoring scenario are saved, thereby obtaining the user-defined workflow on the monitoring device corresponding to the monitoring scenario. Through this method embodiment, users can customize the vital sign monitoring workflow according to the characteristics of the monitoring scenario under a specific working mode, meeting the user's needs for specific monitoring in different monitoring scenarios and providing a better user experience.

[0127] It should be noted that determining the monitoring scenario is not a necessary step. In one embodiment, the implementation of this application may not include step S101 (receiving the monitoring scenario definition instruction and determining the monitoring scenario according to the monitoring scenario definition instruction).

[0128] In another embodiment provided in this application, after saving the workflow, the workflow can be used to monitor the patient's vital signs. Specifically, a user or other device can send a trigger command to the monitoring device, and the monitoring device, in response to the received trigger command of the workflow, executes the working mode and working configuration information in the workflow.

[0129] In one implementation, the human-machine interface device can display a measurement mode identifier list, which includes multiple first measurement modes and multiple second measurement modes. The measurement mode identifier list is used to receive measurement mode selection instructions. The first measurement modes are determined based on the workflow configuration under continuous measurement working mode, and the second measurement modes are determined based on the workflow configuration under non-continuous measurement working mode. The human-machine interface device selects a measurement mode from the measurement mode identifier list according to the measurement mode selection instructions (for ease of description, this measurement mode is called the target measurement mode, which corresponds to the target workflow configuration, i.e., the target measurement mode is obtained from the target workflow configuration); the human-machine interface device is also used to display the target monitoring page corresponding to the target measurement mode. The measurement mode can be called a working mode, and the working mode includes continuous measurement working mode and non-continuous measurement working mode.

[0130] Specifically, when a user needs to measure and record parameters according to a certain measurement mode, they input a measurement mode selection command. This command indicates that a target measurement mode should be selected from the list of measurement mode identifiers. One way to receive the measurement mode selection command is for the vital signs monitoring device to display a list of measurement mode identifiers to the user. This list includes an identifier for each measurement mode, which may include the name of the measurement scenario. Selecting a target identifier in the list indicates that the user has selected the target measurement mode corresponding to that identifier, thus allowing the vital signs monitoring device to determine the target measurement mode that the user needs to use.

[0131] The identifier for the measurement mode can be the name, code, or graphic symbol of the measurement mode, as long as it can refer to a unique measurement mode, and its form is not limited.

[0132] For example, Figure 3 This diagram illustrates one method of receiving a measurement mode selection command. The user can click button 3', and the vital signs monitoring device will display a list of measurement mode identifiers, including identifiers for various measurement modes such as "Initial Evaluation," "General Round," and "Continuous Monitoring." Assuming the user selects "Initial Evaluation," the vital signs monitoring device can determine that the target measurement mode required by the user is the measurement mode corresponding to "Initial Evaluation."

[0133] In addition to the above, another way to receive measurement mode selection instructions is for the vital signs monitoring device to receive measurement mode selection instructions input by the user through gesture swiping on the currently displayed parameter layout page. This measurement mode selection instruction indicates that the user has selected a target parameter layout page from among multiple parameter layout pages. For example, when the user swipes on the currently displayed parameter layout page, the currently displayed parameter layout page will be switched to the next parameter layout page. The gesture swipe can be in any direction, such as up / down or left / right. Since each parameter layout page corresponds to a measurement mode, each gesture swipe by the user will be perceived by the vital signs monitoring device as the user inputting a measurement mode selection instruction, indicating that the user has selected a target measurement mode. When switching between parameter layout pages and parameter report pages using gesture swiping, the gesture swiping direction can be defined to limit different switching objects. In some embodiments, gesture swiping in a first direction is used to switch parameter layout pages, and gesture swiping in a second direction is used to switch the user's interface. In some embodiments, the first direction is defined as the length direction of the vital signs monitoring device, and the second direction is defined as the width direction of the vital signs monitoring device.

[0134] In this embodiment, there are multiple ways to receive the measurement mode selection command input by the user, and no specific method is limited here. For example, the method could also be that the vital signs monitoring device provides the user with an input box for a measurement mode identifier, and the user inputs the identifier of the measurement mode in the input box, so that the vital signs monitoring device determines the target measurement mode based on the user's input.

[0135] In this embodiment, if the user believes that the currently displayed parameter layout page is not suitable for the current actual measurement situation, or believes that the currently displayed parameter layout page does not conform to the user's usage habits, the user can switch the currently displayed measurement mode. That is, the measurement mode selection instruction includes the measurement mode switching instruction input by the user, which indicates switching from the current measurement mode to the target measurement mode.

[0136] In one implementation, the user determines the target workflow corresponding to the monitoring scenario and sends a trigger command to the monitoring device to execute the target workflow. In another implementation, the monitoring device can determine its current monitoring scenario based on relevant information, and based on the correspondence between monitoring scenarios and workflows, determine the target workflow corresponding to the current monitoring scenario and generate a trigger command to execute the target workflow. In yet another implementation, other devices, such as a central monitoring station, can determine the current monitoring scenario of the monitoring device, and based on the correspondence between monitoring scenarios and workflows, determine the target workflow corresponding to the current monitoring scenario, then generate a trigger command to execute the target workflow and send it to the monitoring device. Therefore, the monitoring device can receive trigger commands from users, itself, or other devices. Furthermore, the monitoring device determines the target workflow to be executed based on the indication of the trigger command, and then executes the workflow according to its configuration information.

[0137] In addition, embodiments of this application also provide a workflow definition method, including:

[0138] The system responds to a working mode definition command to determine the working mode, which includes a continuous measurement working mode and a non-continuous measurement working mode. The continuous measurement working mode includes the plurality of first measurement modes, and the non-continuous measurement working mode includes the plurality of second measurement modes. It also responds to a workflow configuration information definition command to determine the workflow configuration information under the working mode, and determines the monitoring page based on the workflow configuration information. Finally, it responds to a measurement mode selection command to determine the target measurement mode from the plurality of pre-set first measurement modes and / or plurality of second measurement modes, and displays the target monitoring page corresponding to the target measurement mode.

[0139] It should be noted that, unlike the embodiments described above, the measurement mode selection command is not limited to input through a list of measurement mode identifiers; it can also be input in other ways. In one specific implementation, a code scanner can scan identifier codes such as QR codes or barcodes to obtain an identifier code. The QR code or barcode can be associated with either the patient or medical personnel. The code scanner sends the identifier code to the processor of the vital signs monitoring device, and the processor determines the first and / or second measurement modes corresponding to the identifier code as the target measurement mode. In another specific implementation, a biometric identification device can obtain the user's biometric information, such as fingerprints or voiceprints. This user can be either a patient or medical personnel. The biometric identification device sends the biometric information to the processor of the vital signs monitoring device, and the processor determines the first and / or second measurement modes corresponding to the biometric information as the target measurement mode. In yet another specific implementation, other devices, such as monitoring stations or central stations, send a measurement mode selection command to the processor of the vital signs monitoring device, and the processor determines the first and / or second measurement modes corresponding to the measurement mode selection command as the target measurement mode.

[0140] It should be noted that other descriptions of this embodiment can be found in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0141] The workflow definition method described above involves user-defined workflow configuration information. In addition to this method, this application also provides an embodiment of a workflow definition method in which the monitoring device automatically obtains configuration information from other devices, as shown below.

[0142] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a workflow definition method, specifically including steps 401-406.

[0143] S401: The vital signs monitoring device identifies the associated target device, which stores one or more pairs of configuration indexes and workflow configuration information.

[0144] The monitoring equipment identifies the target device, which needs to store the mapping between configuration indexes and workflow configuration information. The configuration index, also known as a configuration identifier, uniquely identifies the workflow configuration information. The configuration index can be a geographical location, configuration number, user identification, etc. The configuration information on the target device can be user-defined or learned by the device itself; this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0145] The target device can be a monitoring device with a predefined workflow or other types of equipment. Furthermore, the target device and the monitoring device executing the method can be in the same geographical region or in different geographical regions. If they are in different geographical regions, the monitoring device can identify the target device as a device deployed in a different region. For example, a monitoring device deployed in the United States can obtain workflow configuration information from a target device deployed in China, thus allowing the monitoring device in the United States to identify the device in China as the target device.

[0146] Alternatively, workflow configuration information can be stored on external storage devices such as external hard drives or USB flash drives. When a workflow needs to be defined on the monitoring device, the external storage device can be connected to the monitoring device for communication, so that the monitoring device will identify the external storage device that is connected to the external storage interface as the target device.

[0147] S402: Vital signs monitoring equipment obtains target configuration index.

[0148] The target configuration index refers to the index of the target workflow that the monitoring device wants to configure. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the target configuration index can be obtained in various ways.

[0149] In one implementation, the configuration index can be recorded in pre-generated identification code data such as QR codes or barcodes. The monitoring device can scan the identification code and parse it to extract the target configuration index. A specific application scenario is that after obtaining the target workflow configuration information, the target device can generate an index of that configuration information and then generate identification code data from that index. If it is necessary to define the target workflow on the monitoring device, the monitoring device can scan the identification code to obtain the target configuration index, and then use that target configuration index to retrieve the target workflow configuration information from the target device.

[0150] In another implementation, the configuration index can be specifically a user identifier such as biometric information like fingerprints, iris scans, or voiceprints. The monitoring device can collect the operator's biometric information and use it as the target configuration index. A specific application scenario involves a user customizing their frequently used workflows in a target monitoring scenario on a monitoring device and inputting their own biometric information as the configuration index for that workflow. This monitoring device can then act as the target device. If the user wants to define the same target workflow on other monitoring devices, they can input their biometric information as the target configuration index, and the other monitoring devices will automatically retrieve the corresponding target workflow from the target device based on that index.

[0151] In another implementation, the user can directly input an identifier of the target workflow configuration information they want to define into the monitoring device. The monitoring device receives this identifier and uses it as a target configuration index. Specifically, the monitoring device can provide identifiers of workflow configuration information stored on the target device, allowing the user to select and input the identifier of the target workflow configuration information they want to define.

[0152] In another implementation, the configuration index for workflow configuration information can represent information about the type of medical facility and / or its location. This type of workflow is designed for monitoring scenarios related to medical facilities and / or geographical locations. For example, if a North American emergency room requires a specially customized workflow, the workflow information applicable to North American emergency rooms would use location and medical facility type as the configuration index. Therefore, if a medical device wants to define this type of workflow, it can extract information related to the type of medical facility and / or its location from the received information when determining the target configuration index, and use this extracted information as the target configuration index. For instance, a user can input voice data into the monitoring device, or the monitoring device can scan text or images, or the monitoring device can automatically perform location positioning, and then use technologies such as voice recognition, text or image recognition, and location recognition to extract words related to the type of medical facility and / or its location as the target configuration index.

[0153] The above methods are illustrative examples; monitoring devices can also obtain the target configuration index through other means. It should also be noted that the execution order of steps 401 and 402 is not limited to... Figure 4 As shown, step 402 can be performed before step 401, or both can be performed simultaneously.

[0154] S403: The vital signs monitoring device sends the target configuration index to the target device.

[0155] The monitoring device has a communication connection with the target device, and after determining the target configuration index, it can send the target configuration index to the target device through this communication connection.

[0156] S404: The target device determines the target workflow configuration information corresponding to the target configuration index in the correspondence relationship.

[0157] The target device stores one or more workflow configuration information. Each workflow configuration information has a corresponding configuration index. The target configuration index is used to instruct the target device to determine at least one of the target working mode and the target workflow configuration information corresponding to the target configuration index in the correspondence relationship. For ease of description, the corresponding workflow configuration information can be called the target workflow configuration information.

[0158] S405: The target device sends target workflow configuration information to the vital signs monitoring device.

[0159] S406: Vital signs monitoring equipment saves target workflow configuration information.

[0160] In this embodiment, the monitoring device receives the target workflow configuration information and saves it locally. It should be noted that if the workflow configuration information on the target device corresponds to a monitoring scenario, then the target workflow configuration information saved by the monitoring device also corresponds to a specific monitoring scenario, which is the target monitoring scenario in the above embodiment. It should also be noted that in one embodiment, the workflow configuration information and the monitoring scenario do not have a corresponding relationship. In another embodiment, after receiving the target workflow configuration information, the monitoring device may not save it but may display a monitoring interface corresponding to the target workflow configuration information; this monitoring interface can be called the target monitoring interface.

[0161] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the target device can pre-store several workflow configuration information. The monitoring device retrieves the desired workflow from the target device through the configuration index, thereby achieving automatic definition of workflows on the monitoring device and simplifying user configuration operations. Furthermore, the target device can be used to batch configure workflows for multiple monitoring devices, resulting in higher workflow configuration efficiency.

[0162] To further simplify the user's definition process, this application also provides a workflow definition method for monitoring equipment, which allows for custom workflows to be defined through self-learning. Figure 6 As shown, the workflow definition method may specifically include steps 601-604.

[0163] S601: Receives operation instructions related to workflow execution input by the device operator in multiple different monitoring scenarios.

[0164] It is understandable that operators can monitor patients' vital signs using the monitoring equipment. The operational instructions given by the operator on the monitoring equipment will vary depending on the monitoring scenario. It should be noted that the monitoring equipment in this embodiment can learn workflows suitable for different monitoring scenarios based on the operational instructions executed in various scenarios. Therefore, this monitoring equipment needs to be used in multiple different monitoring scenarios to be triggered to execute various operational instructions. The more comprehensive the data collected by the monitoring equipment, the higher the reliability of its self-learning results.

[0165] S602: Collect workflow execution information generated by the vital signs monitoring device in each monitoring scenario based on the instructions of the operation command.

[0166] Understandably, monitoring devices can perform related actions based on operational instructions. For example, in an initial admission assessment scenario, a nurse triggers the monitoring device to measure various physiological parameters of the patient, such as blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen, pulse, and respiration. The monitoring device controls the physiological parameter acquisition accessories to collect various physiological parameter data from the patient through a series of instructions. The monitoring device can also record information about the workflow it performs.

[0167] S603: Perform self-learning on workflow execution information to obtain a workflow applicable to each monitoring scenario.

[0168] The workflow includes at least one of the following: work mode and workflow configuration information. The workflow configuration information is used to define the workflow configuration for performing vital sign monitoring.

[0169] Since operation commands are input into the monitoring device by the operator and generated by the operator based on the characteristics of the monitoring scenario, a series of operation commands received by the monitoring device are correlated with a specific monitoring scenario. When the monitoring device receives operation commands, it does not determine the current monitoring scenario. Instead, it collects and analyzes a large amount of execution information triggered by these operation commands, and through self-learning, it obtains the corresponding working mode and / or workflow configuration information to derive the corresponding workflow and the monitoring scenario to which the workflow is applicable. In other words, the monitoring device obtains the monitoring scenario and the corresponding workflow through self-learning.

[0170] Self-learning can be achieved through machine learning algorithms in artificial intelligence, such as neural networks, which will not be elaborated here.

[0171] S604: Correspondence between storage monitoring scenarios and workflows.

[0172] The monitoring equipment can store the correspondence locally or on an external storage medium or other device.

[0173] As can be seen from the technical solution, the workflow definition method provided in this embodiment allows the equipment operator to input a series of operation instructions on the monitoring device according to the characteristics of the monitoring scenario. The monitoring device collects the workflow information executed by itself based on the operation instructions, and obtains the workflow and the monitoring scenario to which the workflow is applicable after self-learning the workflow information, thereby realizing the automatic configuration of the workflow.

[0174] Alternatively, the information collected by the monitoring equipment may include not only workflow execution information, but also information related to the monitoring scenario corresponding to the workflow execution information. In other words, the monitoring equipment does not need to learn the monitoring scenario corresponding to the workflow execution information on its own, but only needs to learn the workflow under each monitoring scenario based on the workflow execution information.

[0175] In addition, embodiments of this application also provide a workflow definition method, including:

[0176] The system receives operation instructions related to workflow execution input by the device operator in a predetermined working mode; the predetermined working mode includes a continuous measurement working mode or a non-continuous measurement working mode; it collects workflow execution information generated by the vital signs monitoring device based on the operation instructions in the workflow of executing the predetermined working mode; it performs self-learning on the workflow execution information to obtain recommended workflow configuration information corresponding to the predetermined working mode; and it displays the recommended monitoring page corresponding to the recommended workflow configuration information.

[0177] Specifically, after self-learning the workflow execution information, workflow configuration information corresponding to the predetermined work mode can be obtained. This workflow configuration information can be displayed to the user for confirmation or modification; therefore, this workflow configuration information can be called recommended workflow configuration information. To facilitate intuitive confirmation or modification by the user, the recommended workflow configuration information is displayed on a page, which can be called a recommended monitoring page.

[0178] It should be noted that other descriptions regarding this embodiment can be found in the relevant descriptions of the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, the workflow execution information may not correspond to the monitoring scenario, and correspondingly, the generated recommended workflow configuration information may not correspond to the monitoring scenario, and the recommended monitoring page may not correspond to the monitoring scenario.

[0179] Furthermore, the monitoring device can also determine its current workflow configuration information and / or working mode based on the results of self-learning. If they differ, it will output a prompt message for adjustment. Specifically, the monitoring device monitors the current monitoring scenario and the currently executed workflow configuration information and / or working mode; determines the target workflow configuration information and / or target working mode corresponding to the current monitoring scenario based on the correspondence; if the currently executed workflow configuration information differs from the target workflow configuration information defined by the target workflow configuration information, a prompt message is displayed, which may include the desired target workflow configuration information and a switching control; in response to the workflow configuration information switching command input by the device operator based on the prompt message, the currently executed workflow configuration information is switched to the target workflow configuration information; and / or, if the currently executed working mode differs from the target working mode, a prompt message is displayed, which may include the desired target working mode and a switching control; in response to the working mode switching command input by the device operator based on the prompt message, the currently executed working mode is switched to the target working mode. It should be noted that the method for determining the current monitoring scenario can refer to the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0180] In another embodiment, if the monitoring device determines that the currently executing workflow is different from the target workflow, it can switch the currently executing workflow to the target workflow to achieve automatic adjustment, making the operation simpler and more convenient. Specifically, if the monitoring device determines that the configuration information of the currently executing workflow is different from the target workflow configuration information defined in the target workflow configuration information, it can switch the configuration information of the currently executing workflow to the target workflow configuration information; and / or, if the monitoring device determines that the currently executing working mode is different from the target working mode, it can switch the currently executing working mode to the target working mode. This technical solution achieves automatic adjustment, making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0181] The self-learning configuration workflow method provided in the above embodiments is applied to monitoring devices. Since the self-learning method requires collecting workflow execution information from various monitoring scenarios, the application scenarios for a single monitoring device may not be very extensive. To collect as much workflow execution data as possible for self-learning, this application provides a workflow definition method applied to a device management server. It should be noted that, compared with the above embodiments, the workflow method provided in this embodiment has the same main process, only the execution entity is different.

[0182] like Figure 7 As shown, the device management server is communicatively connected to at least one vital signs monitoring device.

[0183] The monitoring equipment is a device with vital sign monitoring capabilities. It can trigger and execute a vital sign monitoring workflow based on user commands, and generate execution information during the workflow execution. The monitoring equipment then sends the workflow execution information to the device management server.

[0184] The device management server collects workflow execution information sent by each monitoring device, performs self-learning on the workflow execution information to obtain a workflow applicable to each monitoring scenario, and stores the correspondence between monitoring scenarios and workflows.

[0185] It should be noted that, in one implementation, the monitoring device can send the monitoring scenario information along with the workflow execution information, thus eliminating the need for the device management server to learn the monitoring scenario itself. In another implementation, the monitoring device may not send the monitoring scenario information, allowing the device management server to analyze the scenario characteristics of the workflow execution information and determine the applicable monitoring scenario.

[0186] Further details regarding the self-learning workflow can be found in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, the device management server communicates with multiple monitoring devices, enabling it to collect more workflow execution information and thus learn more accurate workflow configuration information through self-learning.

[0187] Furthermore, the device management server can also send workflows corresponding to the monitoring scenarios applied to the monitoring devices to the monitoring devices. Specifically, the device management server determines the target monitoring scenario of the target vital signs monitoring device and, based on its stored correspondence, determines the target workflow corresponding to the target monitoring scenario; it then sends the target workflow to the target vital signs monitoring device. The vital signs monitoring device stores the target workflow message locally to obtain the workflow corresponding to the target monitoring scenario.

[0188] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a method for defining workflow configuration information applied to vital sign monitoring devices. Compared with the first embodiment described above, this embodiment does not restrict the selection of working modes when customizing workflow configuration information. Figure 8 As shown, the method is specifically described in steps 801-804.

[0189] S801: Displays the workflow configuration information definition area and receives workflow configuration information definition instructions input by the device operator based on the workflow configuration information definition area.

[0190] Specifically, to enable users to customize workflow configuration information, this application embodiment can provide a workflow configuration information definition area. This interface can include various workflow configuration information items that need to be defined. Users input workflow configuration information definition instructions through this interface, such as defining the types of physiological parameters to be monitored in the workflow configuration information, defining the processing method of physiological parameter measurement results, etc. For a detailed description of the workflow configuration information definition instructions, please refer to the description of the above embodiments; this application embodiment will not repeat it.

[0191] S802: Determine the monitoring scenario.

[0192] Specifically, the relevant information of the monitoring scenario can be input by the user, and the monitoring equipment can determine the monitoring scenario based on the relevant information input by the user.

[0193] S803: Obtain workflow configuration information based on the instructions defined in the workflow configuration information.

[0194] The workflow configuration information is used to define the workflow configuration for performing vital sign monitoring, and the workflow configuration information corresponds to the monitoring scenario.

[0195] Specifically, the workflow configuration information definition instruction is input by the user into the monitoring device, indicating what kind of process the user wants to define the workflow configuration information for. The monitoring device obtains the configuration information of the workflow configuration information according to the instructions, such as setting the physiological parameter type selected by the user in the workflow configuration information definition area 300 as the physiological parameter type to be monitored in the workflow configuration information, and setting the physiological parameter result display style set by the user in the workflow configuration information definition area 300 as the result display style of the workflow configuration information, and so on.

[0196] It should be noted that workflow configuration information can indicate not only how vital signs are monitored, but also how the monitoring results are displayed and processed. Any configuration information related to vital sign monitoring can be used as workflow configuration information.

[0197] S804: Save workflow configuration information.

[0198] Specifically, the monitoring device can save the workflow configuration information locally on the device, or it can save the workflow configuration information on an external storage medium or other device.

[0199] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the workflow configuration information definition method provided in this application embodiment allows the vital signs monitoring device to receive the user's workflow configuration information definition instruction, determine the monitoring scenario to which the workflow configuration information applies, and establish a correspondence between the monitoring scenario and the workflow configuration information, thereby enabling the user to customize the workflow configuration information according to the monitoring scenario.

[0200] To ensure the practical application and implementation of the above-described method embodiments, this application provides the following embodiments regarding vital sign monitoring devices.

[0240] In addition, this application also provides a vital signs monitoring device, including: a human-computer interaction device and a processor.

[0241] A human-computer interaction device is configured to receive operation instructions related to the execution of a workflow input by a device operator in a predetermined working mode; wherein the predetermined working mode includes a continuous measurement working mode or a non-continuous measurement working mode.

[0248] In one specific embodiment, the vital signs monitoring device may specifically include a monitor or modular component, further including various monitors or modular components such as single-parameter monitors, multi-parameter monitors, vital signs monitors, and ward round monitors. The monitor or modular component has at least one workflow under which the physiological parameters of the monitored subject are measured. Understandably, a workflow may have only one measurement function or multiple measurement functions. When there are multiple measurement functions, there may be a sequential requirement between them. The vital signs monitoring device can execute one or more different measurement functions under different workflows to adapt to the different measurement functions and methods required by users in different regions, scenarios, or departments. For example, in a doctor's office, it is often necessary to measure average blood pressure and health index, while in a general ward, it is not necessary. In a neonatal ward, it is necessary to measure complex congenital heart disease, while in an adult general ward, it is usually not necessary. Users can customize the configuration information for different working modes, thereby configuring different workflows according to their own needs to adapt to different measurement requirements. Understandably, the working mode under each workflow can be the default working mode, or the configuration information under each workflow can also be the default configuration information. Users can choose the default configuration information to configure the measurement functions under different workflows, or they can customize the configuration of the measurement functions under different workflows and save it; there are no restrictions here. By setting different configuration information, users can define physiological parameters obtained through parameter measurement attachments at required time intervals or frequencies, such as body temperature and blood pressure; they can also define measurement functions that are not obtained through parameter measurement attachments but are manually entered by the user, such as urine output.

[0249] like Figure 10The diagram shows a system framework of a patient monitor or module component. The patient monitor or module component includes at least a parameter measurement circuit 1002. Each parameter measurement circuit 1002 includes at least one parameter measurement circuit corresponding to a physiological parameter, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal parameter measurement circuit, a respiratory parameter measurement circuit, a body temperature parameter measurement circuit, a blood oxygen parameter measurement circuit, a non-invasive blood pressure parameter measurement circuit, and an invasive blood pressure parameter measurement circuit. Each parameter measurement circuit 1002 is connected to an externally inserted sensor accessory 1001 via a corresponding sensor interface. The sensor accessory 1001 includes detection accessories or modules corresponding to the detection of physiological parameters such as ECG, respiration, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and body temperature. The parameter measurement circuit 1002 is mainly used to connect to the sensor accessory 1001 to obtain the collected physiological parameter signals. It can include measurement circuits for at least two or more physiological parameters. The parameter measurement circuit 1002 can be, but is not limited to, a physiological parameter measurement circuit 1002 (module), a human physiological parameter measurement circuit 1002 (module), or a sensor accessory 1001 collecting human physiological parameters. Specifically, the parameter measurement circuit 1002 obtains physiological sampling signals from an external physiological parameter sensor accessory via an expansion interface, processes them to obtain physiological data, and uses this data for alarm and display purposes. The expansion interface can also be used to output control signals from the main control circuit 1003 regarding how to collect physiological parameters to an external physiological parameter monitoring accessory, thereby enabling the monitoring and control of the patient's physiological parameters.

[0250] The monitor or module component may also include a main control circuit 1003, which needs to include at least one processor and at least one memory. The main control circuit 1003 may also include at least one of a power management module, a power IP module, and an interface conversion circuit. The power management module is used to control the power-on and power-off of the entire device, the power-on sequence of various power domains within the board, and battery charging and discharging. A power IP module refers to a power supply module that associates the schematic diagram and PCB layout of frequently used power circuit units and solidifies them into a separate power supply module. That is, it converts an input voltage into an output voltage through a predetermined circuit, where the input voltage and output voltage are different. For example, converting 15V to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 3.8V. It is understood that a power IP module can be single-channel or multi-channel. When the power IP module is single-channel, it can convert one input voltage into one output voltage. When the power IP module is multi-channel, it can convert one input voltage into multiple output voltages. These output voltages can be the same or different, thus simultaneously meeting the different voltage requirements of multiple electronic components. Furthermore, the module has few external interfaces and operates as a black box within the system, decoupled from external hardware, improving the overall reliability of the power system. The interface conversion circuit converts the signals output by the main control minimum system module (i.e., at least one processor and at least one memory in the main control circuit 1003) into the input standard signals required by the actual external devices. For example, to support external VGA display, it converts the RGB digital signal output by the main control CPU into a VGA analog signal; to support external network functions, it converts the RMII signal into a standard network differential signal.

[0251] In addition, the monitor or module may also include one or more of the following: a local display 1004, an alarm circuit 1006, an input interface circuit 1007, and an external communication and power interface 1005. The main control circuit 1003 coordinates and controls the various boards, circuits, and devices within the monitor or module. In this embodiment, the main control circuit 1003 controls the data interaction between the parameter measurement circuit 1002 and the communication interface circuit, as well as the transmission of control signals. It also transmits physiological data to the display 1004 for display, and can receive user control commands from a touchscreen or physical input interface circuit such as a keyboard or buttons. Furthermore, it can output control signals regarding how to collect physiological parameters. The alarm circuit 1006 may be an audible and visual alarm circuit. The main control circuit 1003 calculates physiological parameters and sends the calculation results and waveforms to a host (such as a host with a display 1004, a PC, a central station, etc.) via the external communication and power interface 1005. The external communication and power interface 1005 can be one or a combination of Ethernet, Token Ring, Token Bus, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) as the backbone of these three networks; it can also be one or a combination of wireless interfaces such as infrared, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and WMTS communication; or it can be one or a combination of wired data connection interfaces such as RS232 and USB. The external communication and power interface 1005 can also be one or a combination of wireless and wired data transmission interfaces. The host can be any computer device such as a monitor, electrocardiograph, ultrasound diagnostic instrument, or computer; with the appropriate software installed, it can form a monitoring device. The host can also be a communication device, such as a mobile phone; the monitor or module components can send data to a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone via the Bluetooth interface to achieve remote data transmission.

[0252] The monitoring module component can be located outside the monitor's casing as an independent external parameter module. It can be inserted into the monitor's main unit (including the main control board) to form a plug-in monitor, serving as part of the monitor. Alternatively, it can be connected to the monitor's main unit (including the main control board) via a cable, acting as an external accessory. Of course, parameter processing can also be built into the casing, integrated with the main control module, or physically separated and housed within the casing to form an integrated monitor.
