Monitor Clock Panel for Intuitive Warning Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical monitors can only present historical warning information in text tables without corresponding waveform graphs, requiring additional steps for doctors to access these graphs, making it difficult to visualize and intuitively understand patient data.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a clock panel to present information visually by marking warnings on the panel according to their generation time, allowing for the display of waveform graphs and summary information, enabling intuitive and vivid presentation of historical data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If warning information is presented in text table form, then information can be stored and displayed, but the presentation is not vivid and intuitive, requiring additional operational steps to access waveform graphs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines waveform graphs and warning information into a single integrated display interface. The waveform display area shows both the physiological waveform and overlays warning icons or annotations at the corresponding time positions, eliminating the need to switch between separate text tables and waveform views. This merging allows doctors to access both types of information simultaneously without additional operational steps.
2Loss of information
If warning information is displayed without corresponding waveform graphs, then the display is simple, but the information cannot be presented vividly and intuitively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent overlays warning information as a second dimension on top of the waveform display. Instead of creating separate displays, warning icons, color codes, or annotations are superimposed on the waveform graph at the corresponding time positions, allowing both waveform data and warning information to coexist in the same visual space without increasing interface complexity.
3Productivity
If additional operational steps are required to access waveform graphs, then the display interface remains simple, but productivity in analyzing patient data decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-integrates waveform graphs with warning information in the display interface before the doctor needs to analyze the data. By automatically displaying both types of information together in a unified view, the system eliminates the need for doctors to perform additional operations to access waveform graphs, thereby improving analysis efficiency without adding operational complexity.
