Intelligent User Interface For Medical Monitors
An intelligent learning process for a user interface of a medical monitor is disclosed. The medical monitor may record user statistics and cluster groups based on settings, configurations, and actions captured by the user statistics. The medical monitor may create classes of users based on the groups and then classify users into classes based on the user statistics. The user interface of the monitor may be adapted based on the user's class. In other embodiments, a central station may access user statistics from multiple monitors and adapt a user interface for the monitors based on the statistics.
1 . A system, comprising:
a medical monitor coupled to a sensor, wherein the medical monitor is configured to display one or more physiological parameters, store user statistics of one or more users, and adapt a user interface of the monitor based on the user statistics.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor is configured to cluster commonly used settings, configurations, and/or actions of the user statistics into one or more groups.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor is configured to determine a care environment for the monitor based on the statistics.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the monitor is configured to adapt a user interface of the monitor based on the statistics and the care environment.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein adapting the user interface comprises modifying the information displayed on a first screen of the user interface.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein adapting the user interface comprises reconfiguring the keystrokes used to access one or more elements of the user interface.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein adapting the user interface comprises modifying one or more alarms.
8 . The system of claim 1 , comprising creating a plurality of classes based on the user statistics.
9 . The system of claim 8 , comprising wherein the monitor is configured to classify the one or more users into one or more of the plurality of classes based on the user statistics.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the monitor is configured to adapt the user interface for the one or more users based on the class of the one or more users.
11 . A system, comprising:
a central station; and
a plurality of medical monitors coupled to the central station, and each comprising a user interface,
wherein the central station is configured to access user statistics from at least one of the plurality of medical monitors and adapt the user interface of one or more of the plurality of medical monitors based on the user statistics.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein central station is configured to store the user statistics.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of medical monitors is configured to store the user statistics.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the central station is configured to push the user interface to one or more of the plurality of medical monitors.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the central station is configured to provide instructional text to the plurality of medical monitors for display on one or more of the plurality of medical monitors.
16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the central station is configured to cluster commonly used settings, configurations, and/or actions of the user statistics into one or more groups.
17 . A method, comprising:
storing a plurality of user statistics on a medical monitor;
determining a plurality of classes based on the user statistics; and
adapting a user interface of the monitor based on the classes.
18 . The method of claim 17 , comprising classifying users into one or more of the plurality of classes based on the user statistics.
19 . The method of claim 18 , comprising storing at least one of the care environment of the monitor, the service life of the monitor, the connection of sensors to the monitor and the disconnection of sensors to the monitor on the medical monitor.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein adapting the user interface comprises reconfiguring the keystrokes used to access one or more elements of the user interface.
