Medical Display Interface Linking Physiological Data With Treatment Controls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In traditional anesthesia practices, doctors face inefficiencies and increased risks due to the need to switch between multiple devices for monitoring physiological parameters and adjusting treatments, leading to potential misjudgment and misoperation.
Innovation Solution
A display method that integrates medical data from monitoring and treatment devices, associatively displaying physiological parameters and control parameters in groups on a unified interface, allowing for intuitive adjustment instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple separate devices are used for monitoring and treatment adjustment, then device functionality is comprehensive, but workflow efficiency deteriorates due to frequent switching between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate medical devices (monitor, anesthesia machine, infusion pump) into a single integrated system with a unified control interface. The display interface integrates physiological parameter monitoring, treatment control, and drug administration functions that were previously distributed across separate devices, allowing doctors to access all functions through one interface without switching between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system provides multi-functional capabilities through a single device. The unified control interface can perform monitoring, ventilation control, anesthetic drug administration, and infusion pump control, making one device universal enough to replace multiple specialized devices while maintaining comprehensive functionality.
2Ease of operation
If information from multiple devices is displayed on separate interfaces, then information completeness is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in finding and correlating information
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface merges information from multiple sources (monitor data, anesthesia machine parameters, infusion pump status) into a single integrated view. Related parameters are grouped together logically, allowing doctors to see correlated information (e.g., physiological parameters alongside their corresponding treatment controls) without switching between separate interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated display uses local quality by organizing information according to functional relationships rather than device boundaries. Related parameters and controls are grouped together in specific regions of the interface, with different areas dedicated to different functional groups (monitoring, ventilation, drug administration), making it easy to find and correlate related information.
3Reliability
If device interfaces are kept separate, then device independence is maintained, but reliability deteriorates due to increased risk of misjudgment and misoperation
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple devices into an integrated platform where data from monitoring, ventilation, and drug administration are displayed together with their interrelationships clear. This integration reduces the risk of misjudgment by showing how changes in one parameter affect others, and prevents misoperation by providing centralized control with clear feedback loops.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system implements comprehensive feedback mechanisms where adjustments to treatment parameters (ventilation settings, drug doses) are immediately reflected in the displayed physiological parameters. This real-time feedback loop helps doctors understand the impact of their adjustments and makes errors more apparent, improving reliability by providing continuous monitoring and alerting.

AI summary
A display method for a medical device, a medical system and a medical device are disclosed. The method includes acquiring medical data of a medical object related to one or more physiological parameters of the medical object; acquiring data for a control parameter of a treatment device for providing treatment for the medical object, wherein the treatment device provides the treatment for the medical object based on the control parameter, so as to affect the medical data; determining a grouping of the physiological parameter(s) and the control parameter, wherein each group includes at least one physiological parameter and at least one control parameter which is capable of affecting said physiological parameter, and associatively displaying the medical data which is related to the physiological parameter(s) and an operation interface for adjusting the control parameter, which parameters are in a same group. Such that working efficiency of medical staff is improved.
