SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMS DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE
A system for providing patient information collected by a medical device includes a first display device separate from and communicatively coupled to only one patient monitoring device via a wireless connection. The patient monitoring device includes a second display device configured to display the patient information gathered by the patient monitoring device during use to treat and/or monitor the patient. The first display device is configured to receive the patient information from the patient monitoring device in real-time via the wireless connection, provide a first data view of the patient information that includes information displayed in real-time by the patient monitoring device at the second display device, and provide a second data view according to a user-selected display mode for the patient information. A graphical user interface at the first display device enables a user to toggle between the first data view and the second data view.
1 . A system for providing patient information collected by a medical device at an external display, the system comprising:
a first display device separate from and communicatively coupled to only one patient monitoring device via a wireless connection; and
the patient monitoring device communicatively coupled to the first display device and configured to attach to a patient, the patient monitoring device comprising:
a communication interface device, and
a second display device configured to display the patient information gathered from the patient by the patient monitoring device during use of the patient monitoring device to treat and/or monitor the patient,
wherein the first display device comprises at least one processor configured to:
receive the patient information from the patient monitoring device in real-time via the wireless connection,
provide a first data view of the patient information at the first display device that comprises information displayed in real-time by the patient monitoring device at the second display device, and
provide at least one second data view at the first display device according to a user-selected display mode for the patient information, and
wherein a graphical user interface (GUI) at the first display device enables a user of the first display device to toggle between the first data view and the at least one second data view.
