Patient Monitoring System User Interface
A graphical user interface is rendered in a display of a patient monitoring system having a touchscreen interface that also includes or is coupled to at least one sensor monitoring one or more physiological parameters of a patient. The graphical user interface displays at least one waveform derived from the at least one sensor with each waveform having a temporal dimension extending along an x-axis and a value dimension extending along a y-axis and with the values of the waveform varying over time. Thereafter, user-generated input is received via the touchscreen interface of the display selecting a waveform and comprising at least one gesture. In response, the display of the selected waveform is adjusted concurrently or substantially concurrently with the user-generated input to adjust a view of the selected waveform based on the user-generated input while maintaining a view of any non-selected waveforms. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
