Abstract

Disclosed are a timeline-based navigation feature and a channel selection feature. The timeline-based navigation feature allows the user to visually identify significant events during an episode and quickly navigate the display of data to those significant events. Embodiments of such feature allow a user to quickly see that there is a shock delivered, for example, and click on that part of a timeline navigator to advance the detailed display of data to that point in the episode. The data channel selection feature enables selection of display channel(s) from among a set of available data channels. Embodiments of such feature enable a selection and/or deselection of various channels for display to minimize display of extraneous data and/or to select preferred channels of data for review.

Claims (40)

1. A system for displaying patient data captured by a wearable monitoring device, the system comprising:

a data storage component on which are stored computer executable components;

a display device; and

a processor configured to execute the computer executable components and to cause images to be displayed on the display device, the computer executable components including:

a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to render on the display device:

a timeline region corresponding to an episode captured by the wearable monitoring device, the episode comprising patient data describing one or more events, the timeline region including one or more event markers, each event marker corresponding to the one or more events,

a scrubber element on the timeline region, the scrubber element being configured to identify a selected section of the timeline region, the selected section being a subset of the episode,

first patient data corresponding to the selected section, the first patient data further corresponding to a selected channel, the first patient data being displayed within a channel region of the GUI, and

a recovery marker configured to indicate when a recovery of a patient from the one or more events occurred along the timeline region.

2. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the GUI is further configured to display second patient data corresponding to the selected section, the second patient data corresponding to a second selected channel.

3. The system recited in claim 2 , wherein the first and second patient data correspond to first and second Electrocardiogram (ECG) channels captured by the wearable monitoring device.

4. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the wearable monitoring device comprises a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD).

5. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the display device is associated with a remote device communicatively coupled to the data storage component over a network.

6. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first patient data comprises Electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform data.

7. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first patient data is retrieved over a network from a remote patient data platform.

8. A method, comprising:

displaying, by a graphical user interface (GUI), a timeline comprising one or more markers of events that occurred during an episode captured by a wearable monitoring device;

displaying, by the GUI, a first section of a first electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, the first section corresponding to a first portion of the timeline;

receiving, by the GUI, a user selection of a second portion of the timeline; and

displaying, by the GUI, a second section of the first ECG waveform, the second section corresponding to the second portion of the timeline.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising displaying, by the GUI, a section of a second ECG waveform concurrently with the first section of the first ECG waveform, the first section of the first ECG waveform and the section of the second ECG waveform corresponding to the first portion of the timeline.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second ECG waveforms correspond to first and second ECG channels captured by the wearable monitoring device.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the wearable monitoring device comprises a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD).

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the GUI is implemented on a remote device communicatively coupled to the wearable monitoring device.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising automatically displaying, by the GUI, a most recent episode.

14. A system for displaying patient data captured by a wearable monitoring device, the system comprising:

a data storage component on which are stored computer executable components;

a display device; and

a processor configured to execute the computer executable components and to cause images to be displayed on the display device, the computer executable components including:

a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to render on the display device:

a timeline region corresponding to an episode captured by the wearable monitoring device, the episode comprising patient data describing one or more events, the patient data comprising a plurality of channel data, the timeline region including one or more event markers, each event marker corresponding to the one or more events,

a first channel region in which is displayed a first ECG waveform corresponding to a first channel data of the patient data, the first channel region comprising a first channel selection control, and

a second channel region in which is displayed a second ECG waveform corresponding to a second channel data of the patient data, the second channel region comprising a second channel selection control;

wherein the first channel data and the second channel data correspond to a same portion of the timeline region.

15. The system recited in claim 14 , wherein the GUI is further configured to render in the first channel region a third ECG waveform corresponding to a third channel data of the patient data.

16. The system recited in claim 15 , wherein the first channel selection control is configured to cause the first channel region to change from the first ECG waveform to the third ECG waveform.

17. The system recited in claim 14 , wherein the wearable monitoring device comprises a Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD).

18. The system recited in claim 14 , wherein the GUI is further configured to render on the display device a scrubber in association with the timeline region, the scrubber being configured to enable a selection of a different portion of the timeline region for display.

19. The system recited in claim 14 , wherein the patient data comprises patient physiological data in addition to ECG waveform data.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first patient data corresponds to Electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform data and at least one physiological parameter of the patient, and wherein the first patient data corresponding to the ECG waveform data is visually compared with the first patient data corresponding to the at least one physiological parameter of the patient simultaneously on the GUI of the display device.
