Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional patient monitoring devices require extensive user operations and setups to access desired information, making them inconvenient for different users and scenarios, especially in comprehensive analysis and viewing patient conditions.

Innovation Solution

A monitoring device-based interface display method that includes displaying a medical advice setup area initially, followed by criticality level and medical advice information, allowing for customizable and efficient information presentation based on user roles and operation instructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If comprehensive monitoring functions and information are provided, then the completeness of patient data is improved, but the complexity of operations and setups increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of patient dataVSAvoidcomplexity of operations and setups

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring interface is segmented into multiple specialized tabs (overview tab, alarm tab, trend tab, etc.), each displaying specific types of information. This allows comprehensive patient data to be organized into manageable sections, reducing the operational complexity while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically generates and displays criticality level information and medical advice without requiring manual setup by users. The processor pre-calculates risk scores based on patient data, and the interface automatically presents tailored information based on user roles, eliminating the need for extensive manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple functions and information types are provided, then the versatility of the monitoring device is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveversatility of monitoring functionsVSAvoidease of accessing information

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring device provides universal access to multiple functions through a unified interface structure. The same tab-based interface serves different user roles (doctors, nurses, technicians) with role-specific content automatically displayed, allowing one interface to fulfill multiple specialized functions without requiring separate setups for each user type.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically determines user identity and role, then self-configures the displayed information and available functions accordingly. The processor automatically calculates criticality levels and generates medical advice tailored to each user, eliminating the need for manual configuration and making the device easy to operate for all user types.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If extensive setup and configuration are required, then the customization of information presentation is improved, but the time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization of information presentationVSAvoidtime for operations and setups

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of criticality levels and generates medical advice automatically upon receiving patient data. The interface is pre-configured with multiple tabs and information types, and the processor automatically determines what information to display based on user roles, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual setup while maintaining high customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Manufacturing precision

If manual configuration of display parameters is required, then the precision of information presentation is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprecision of information presentationVSAvoidease of interface usage

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The processor automatically determines the appropriate information presentation based on user identity and role. Doctors see detailed criticality analyses and medical advice, while nurses see actionable alerts and summary information. The system self-configures the precision and detail level of information presentation without requiring manual adjustment, maintaining precision while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

This disclosure provides a monitoring device, which includes a display configured to display information and a processor. The processor is configured to: display a medical advice setup area in a display interface of the monitoring device at a first moment; and display at least one of criticality level information or medical advice information of a monitored subject in the medical advice setup area at a second moment, where the second moment is later than the first moment. The monitoring device in this disclosure may provide different display interfaces for medical staff; a doctor may first configure the criticality level and medical advice information of a monitored subject on an interface so as to prompt a nurse of information that requires attention and measurements requiring execution, after that the nurse may learn the nursing matters requiring attention, which improves the cooperation efficiency between doctors and nurses.
