Display Controller Aggregating Medical Data Sources
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Healthcare procedures involving multiple sensors and devices require efficient display management on a single device, as manual adjustments of displayed elements reduce workflow efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A computing device with a display controller that aggregates data from multiple sources, identifies events based on received data and user input, and arranges display information elements according to a workflow protocol, enabling context-sensitive display formatting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple data sources are displayed on a single display device, then data accessibility is improved, but manual adjustment of display elements is required which reduces workflow efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple display arrangements corresponding to different procedure events (e.g., arrhythmia detection, ablation, pacing). When an event is detected, the corresponding pre-configured display arrangement is automatically activated, eliminating the need for manual adjustment during the procedure and maintaining high data accessibility throughout workflow transitions
2Productivity
If display elements are manually adjusted during procedure, then workflow efficiency is improved, but time is lost due to manual adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The display system automatically monitors procedure data sources and self-adjusts the display arrangement based on detected events. The system serves itself by automatically switching between pre-configured display layouts without requiring practitioner intervention, thereby eliminating time loss while maintaining workflow efficiency
3Device complexity
If display arrangement is fixed, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different procedure events is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display system implements dynamic switching between multiple pre-configured display arrangements. Each arrangement is optimized for specific procedure events (e.g., arrhythmia, ablation, pacing), and the system automatically transitions between them based on real-time event detection, providing high adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through automation
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display arrangements are pre-configured, then adaptability to procedure events is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display arrangements are pre-configured and stored in the system before the procedure begins. Each arrangement corresponds to a specific procedure event type. During the procedure, the system simply retrieves and activates the appropriate pre-configured arrangement based on detected events, providing high adaptability while keeping operational complexity low through automated selection
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments for aggregating multiple data sources on a single display device are provided. In one example, a computing device comprises at least one input configured to receive data from one or more data sources, a user interface to receive user input, and instructions to identify an event of a procedure based on one or more of data received from the one or more data sources and user input received via the user interface, and arrange one or more display information elements on a display device based on the identified event and a workflow protocol.
