ADAPTIVE USER INTERFACE BASED ON HEALTH MONITORING EVENT
Collecting biometric data from a patient provides numerous opportunities for a care provider to monitor the health of the patient. In one embodiment, the biometric data is used to identify health events that are processed in a workflow that includes a plurality of interconnected tasks and queues. In one embodiment, at least one task of the workflow includes displaying a user interface to the care provider. For example, a workflow for a cardiac event may include displaying an electrocardiography graph for a patient measured over the last two minutes to a trained technician who then provides an action which determines the next step in the workflow. Because the biometric data may be used to identify different types of health events (e.g., cardiac events versus respiratory events), a portal may display different graphical user interfaces to the care provider for the different types of health events.
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving a health event for a patient derived from monitoring biometric data generated by one or more sensor devices;
generating a first graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a plurality of health events, wherein the health event is one of the plurality of health events;
upon receiving a selection of one of the plurality of health events, generating a second GUI by identifying a type of the selected health event, wherein a layout of the second GUI is dependent upon the type of the selected health event, and wherein the plurality of health events includes health events of at least two different event types.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
upon receiving the selection of one of the plurality of health events, transmitting an instruction to remove the first GUI from at least a portion of a display screen viewable to a care provider, wherein the second GUI is displayed in the portion of the display screen vacated by the first GUI.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second UI comprises a plurality of windows, each window having a defined border and displaying different types of data associated with at least one of the patient or one or more sensor devices.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each health event is selectable by the care provider viewing the first GUI, wherein upon receiving the selection of one of the plurality of health events from one of the plurality of care providers, the selected health event is removed from an event queue containing the plurality of health events and marked as assigned to the care provider.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the event queue includes health events associated with a plurality of patients whose biometric data is measured using at least one respective sensor device worn by the patients.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an input from a care provider viewing the second GUI via input/output (I/O) features embedded in the second GUI, the I/O features permitting the care provider to instruct a server to perform an action when processing the selected health event.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
in response to receiving the input from the care provider, determining a task in a workflow to process the selected health event, the workflow comprising a plurality of interconnected tasks and queues for processing the plurality of health events.
8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed by a processor, performs an operation for outputting information for display, the operation comprising:
receiving a health event for a patient derived from monitoring biometric data generated by one or more sensor devices;
generating a first GUI comprising a plurality of health events, wherein the health event is one of the plurality of health events; and
upon receiving a selection of one of the plurality of health events, generating a second GUI by identifying a type of the selected health event, wherein a layout of the second GUI is dependent upon the type of the selected health event, and wherein the plurality of health events includes health events of at least two different event types.
9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
upon receiving the selection of one of the plurality of health events, transmitting an instruction to remove the first GUI from at least a portion of a display screen viewable to a care provider, wherein the second GUI is displayed in the portion of the display screen vacated by the first GUI.
10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the second UI comprises a plurality of windows, each window having a defined border and displaying different types of data associated with at least one of the patient or one or more sensor devices.
11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein each health event is selectable by the care provider viewing the first GUI, wherein upon receiving the selection of one of the plurality of health events from one of the plurality of care providers, the selected health event is removed from an event queue containing the plurality of health events and marked as assigned to the care provider.
12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the event queue includes health events associated with a plurality of patients whose biometric data is measured using at least one respective sensor device.
13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
receiving an input from a care provider viewing the second GUI via input/output (I/O) features embedded in the second GUI, the I/O features permitting the care provider to instruct a server to perform an action when processing the selected health event.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , the operation further comprising:
in response to receiving the input from the care provider, determining a task in a workflow to process the selected health event, the workflow comprising a plurality of interconnected tasks and queues for processing the plurality of health events.
15 . A system, comprising:
at least one sensor device to collect biometric data associated with a patient; and
a portal configured to:
receive a health event for the patient derived from the biometric data,
generate a first GUI comprising a plurality of health events, wherein the health event is one of the plurality of health events,
upon receiving a selection of one of the plurality of health events,
generate a second GUI by identifying a type of the selected health event, wherein a layout of the second GUI is dependent upon the type of the selected health event, and wherein the plurality of health events includes health events of at least two different event types.
16 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising a display device configured to display the first and second GUI using a display screen, wherein the portal is configured to:
upon receiving the selection of one of the plurality of health events, transmit an instruction to the display device to remove the first GUI from at least a portion of the display screen viewable to a care provider and display the second GUI in the portion of the display screen vacated by the first GUI.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the second UI comprises a plurality of windows, each window having a defined border and displaying different types of data associated with at least one of the patient or the sensor device.
18 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising a workflow comprising a plurality of interconnected tasks and queues used for processing the plurality of health events.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein a workflow server routes the health event to a task in the workflow for further processing based on an input provided by a care provider viewing the second GUI via I/O features embedded in the second GUI.
20 . The system of claim 18 , further comprising a mobile device associated with the patient configured to receive the biometric data from the sensor device and forward the biometric data to the workflow.
