Abstract
A system and method for patient data processing during diagnosis and therapy of a patient's sleep disorder breathing. The system and method includes providing diagnostic providers and therapy device providers with a simple and fast way to generate a clinical diagnosis from a diagnostic device and to transfer that patient's record and diagnostic data to the therapy provider responsible for the patient's ongoing care. The patient may be automatically assigned therapy devices having predetermined therapy settings that are based on the patient's record and diagnostic data.
Core Innovation
The patent describes generating and maintaining an electronic patient record for diagnosis and therapy of sleep disorder breathing. During a diagnostic stage, one or more computing devices store diagnostic data from a diagnostic device in the electronic patient record, and during a therapy stage, the system provides therapy data acquisition from a therapy device and updates the electronic patient record to include therapy data from the therapy device.
The core integration is role-based management of the same electronic patient record across diagnosis and therapy providers, with constrained modification rights. The system provides a diagnostic provider with a first level of access during the diagnostic stage and provides a therapy provider with a second level of access during the therapy stage, where the first level of access enables viewing and/or downloading therapy data without modification and the second level of access enables viewing and/or downloading diagnostic data without modification.
The patent further specifies secure display and transfer of patient data and therapy settings. It generates a graphical user interface for display of patient data, encrypts patient data to prevent unauthorized devices from displaying the patient data, transmits the encrypted patient data to at least a first computing device for display within the graphical user interface, and transmits therapy settings associated with at least one of a diagnostic report and a therapy prescription to the therapy device.
Claims Coverage
The patent includes two independent claims. Each independent claim centers on an integrated electronic patient record spanning a diagnostic stage and a therapy stage, with role-based access control, encrypted graphical user interface display, and transmission of therapy settings associated with a diagnostic report and/or therapy prescription.
Electronic patient record for sleep disorder breathing diagnosis and therapy
Generating an electronic patient record for a patient and, during a diagnostic stage, storing diagnostic data from a diagnostic device in the electronic patient record, and, during a therapy stage, updating the electronic patient record to include therapy data from the therapy device.
Role-based provider access with modification prevention
Providing the diagnostic provider with a first level of access to the electronic patient record during the diagnostic stage and providing the therapy provider with a second level of access during the therapy stage, wherein the first level of access enables the diagnostic provider to view and/or download the therapy data and prevents the diagnostic provider from modifying the therapy data, and the second level of access enables the therapy provider to view and/or download the diagnostic data and prevents the therapy provider from modifying the diagnostic data.
Encrypted graphical user interface patient-data display
Generating a graphical user interface for display of patient data, encrypting patient data of the electronic patient record so as to prevent unauthorized devices from displaying the patient data, and transmitting the encrypted patient data to at least a first computing device for display within the graphical user interface.
Therapy settings transmission tied to diagnostic report and therapy prescription
Transmitting therapy settings to a therapy device, the therapy settings associated with at least one of a diagnostic report and a therapy prescription.
Across both independent claims, the inventive coverage is directed to integrated management of diagnostic and therapy data for sleep disorder breathing using a single electronic patient record, role-based access control that prevents modifying the other party’s data, secure encrypted display in a graphical user interface, and transmission of therapy settings associated with at least one of a diagnostic report and a therapy prescription.
Stated Advantages
Provides role-based access during diagnostic and therapy stages while preventing unauthorized modification of diagnostic or therapy data.
Encrypts patient data so as to prevent unauthorized devices from displaying patient data within the graphical user interface.
Allows transfer of therapy settings to a therapy device associated with at least one of a diagnostic report and a therapy prescription.
Documented Applications
Integrated management of diagnostic and therapy data for a plurality of sleep disorder breathing patients, including during diagnosis and therapy stages.
Diagnostic stage processing using diagnostic data from a diagnostic device for sleep disorder breathing, followed by therapy stage processing using therapy data from a therapy device, with the therapy provider receiving access to diagnostic data and prescription-related therapy settings.
