Blood Pressure Trend Interface with Index Level Markers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional blood-pressure measuring devices only present a single data entry at a time, making it difficult for users to understand blood-pressure trends over a period.
Innovation Solution
A blood-pressure measuring device with a processor and display that calculates and presents blood-pressure index values, using a trend interface with index level regions and markers to visually indicate blood-pressure trends over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple blood-pressure measurement data entries are stored and presented, then users can understand blood-pressure trends over time, but the display complexity and information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface is segmented into multiple index level regions (first through fourth regions) arranged vertically, each representing different blood-pressure level categories. Multiple measurement data entries are segmented and presented as individual index level markers within these regions, allowing trend information to be organized and displayed systematically without overwhelming the user interface
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms blood-pressure data presentation from a single-dimensional numerical display to a two-dimensional visual interface. Index level markers are positioned both vertically (indicating blood-pressure level magnitude across different regions) and chronologically (showing measurement sequence), creating a visual trend map that intuitively displays blood-pressure changes over time while maintaining clear categorical organization
2Ease of operation
If a visual trend interface with multiple index level regions is implemented, then blood-pressure trends become intuitive to observe, but the processing and calculation requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system transforms raw blood-pressure measurement parameters into processed index level values that map to predefined level regions. By changing the parameter representation from absolute pressure values to categorical index levels (first through fourth regions), the system simplifies visual interpretation while the processor handles the transformation calculations automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates visual copies of blood-pressure data in the form of index level markers that represent measured values. Each measurement entry is copied and displayed as a marker positioned in the appropriate index level region, allowing users to observe trends through these visual representations without directly interpreting complex numerical data

AI summary
A method for presenting data of blood-pressure measurement includes: calculating blood-pressure index values based on entries of data of blood-pressure measurement; and presenting a blood-pressure trend interface that includes index level regions, and for each of the blood-pressure index values, an index level markers disposed in one of the index level regions. The blood-pressure trend interface is presented in a manner that the index level markers corresponding respectively to the blood-pressure index values cooperatively indicate a trend in the blood pressure.
