Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hemodynamic monitors are inadequate for visually displaying changes in hemodynamic parameters over longer periods, requiring medical personnel to manually compare data to determine treatment courses.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for dynamically displaying changes in hemodynamic parameters by configuring and adjusting simulated graphs on a graphic interface, using sensors to monitor parameters like GEDI, SVRI, and ELWI, with animated adjustments showing changes in size, height, and color over time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing hemodynamic monitors display parameter changes manually through data comparison, then measurement precision is maintained, but productivity decreases and time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of hemodynamic parameter monitoringVSAvoidtime required for manual data comparison
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data comparison with automated electronic visualization. The system automatically processes hemodynamic parameter data and generates simulated graphs that visually represent parameter changes over time, eliminating the need for manual data comparison while maintaining measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes color changes in the simulated graphs to indicate different hemodynamic parameter states and changes. By dynamically adjusting colors based on parameter values, the system enables rapid visual assessment of parameter trends without manual comparison, significantly improving productivity and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Loss of information

If existing monitors only display short-term parameter changes, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information increases for long-term monitoring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of long-term parameter changesVSAvoidcomplexity of dynamic graph display system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates simulated graphs that are visual copies of actual hemodynamic parameter data. These simulated graphs replicate the essential characteristics of the raw data in an interpretable visual format, enabling long-term monitoring information to be displayed without requiring complex data processing or interpretation systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms one-dimensional numerical parameter data into two-dimensional visual graphs with spatial dimensions. By mapping parameter values to positions, sizes, or colors in the simulated graphs, the system enables long-term temporal trends to be visualized simultaneously, reducing information loss while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If simulated graphs are dynamically adjusted to show parameter changes, then ease of operation improves for medical personnel, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of hemodynamic parameter analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of graph configuration and adjustment system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting simulated graphs based on incoming hemodynamic parameter data. The graph configuration is updated autonomously according to parameter changes, eliminating the need for manual intervention in graph adjustment while improving ease of operation for medical personnel who only need to interpret the visualizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for dynamically displaying a change of a parameter measured at an interval comprises: dynamically monitoring at least one type of hemodynamic parameters of a patient by means of a sensor on a monitor; obtaining a first monitoring value of the type of hemodynamic parameters monitored at a first monitoring time; displaying a first form corresponding to the first monitoring value in a simulated graph corresponding to each type of the hemodynamic parameters on a graphic display interface; obtaining a second monitoring value of the type of hemodynamic parameters monitored at a second monitoring time, and determining a second form of the corresponding simulated graph; and adjusting the simulated graph corresponding to each type of hemodynamic parameter from the first form to the second form on the graphic display interface. Also provided are a corresponding system and a dynamic monitor.
