Abstract
Provided are a method and system for implementing alarms for a medical device through a mobile device. The method includes: storing details of examination of a specimen (hereinafter, referred to as examination details) in the medical device, wherein the storing is performed by the medical device; accessing the medical device and establishing a connection with the medical device, wherein the accessing and the establishing of the connection is performed by the mobile device; reading the examination details stored in the medical device, wherein the reading is performed by the mobile device; analyzing the read examination details, wherein the analyzing is performed by the mobile device; and implementing an alarm if the result of analysis satisfies a predetermined criterion, wherein the implementing is performed by the mobile device.
Core Innovation
A mobile device provides a notification about a result of examination of a specimen stored in a medical device. The mobile device establishes a connection with the medical device and reads the examination result at predetermined periods of time, and sets a plurality of criteria to evaluate the examination result. In response to the examination result satisfying at least one criterion, the mobile device outputs a notification.
A corresponding notification is set differently for each of the plurality of criteria. The corresponding notification comprises any one or any combination of a sound, a vibration, and a visual display element.
The disclosed approach further distinguishes communication timing and notification behavior. The connection is established for reading the examination information and is maintained only during the period when the mobile device establishes the connection to read the examination results, including criteria based on preset range and critical range conditions.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover a method, a mobile device, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that evaluate specimen examination results against a plurality of criteria and provide notifications on the mobile device with notification types that differ by criterion, including audio, vibration, and visual outputs. Three main inventive features are asserted: criterion-based determination of notification triggering, differentiated notification output per criterion, and mobile-device connectivity to read results at predetermined periods.
Criteria-based notification from specimen examination results
establishing a connection between the mobile device and a medical device; reading a result of examination of a specimen from the medical device at predetermined periods of time; setting a plurality of criteria to provide the notification about the result of the examination; determining whether the result of the examination satisfies at least one criterion of the plurality of criteria; and outputting the notification in response to the result of the examination satisfying the at least one criterion
Differently configured notifications per criterion with sound, vibration, and visual display
a corresponding notification is set differently for each of the plurality of criteria, and the corresponding notification comprises any one or any combination of a sound, a vibration, and a visual display element
Reading at predetermined periods via mobile device communication interface
a communication interface configured to communicate with a medical device; a processor configured to establish a connection with the medical device to read a result of examination of a specimen at predetermined periods of time; set a plurality of criteria to provide a notification about the result of the examination; determine whether the result of the examination satisfies at least one criterion of the plurality of criteria; and an output device configured to output a notification in response to the result of the examination satisfying the at least one criterion
Programmed non-transitory medium for criterion-based notification output
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that is executable by a computing device to perform a method comprising: establishing a connection between the computing device and a medical device; reading a result of examination of a specimen from the medical device at predetermined periods of time; setting a plurality of criteria to provide the notification about the result of the examination; determining whether the result of the examination satisfies at least one criterion of the plurality of criteria; and controlling the computing device to output the notification in response to the result of the examination satisfying the at least one criterion
The independent claim set consistently centers on reading specimen examination results at predetermined periods, determining whether the result satisfies at least one of a plurality of criteria, and outputting notifications that are configured differently for each criterion using a combination of sound, vibration, and a visual display element, with the same concept implemented as a method, a mobile device, or a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
