Abstract

A medical device is described. The medical device is configured to operatively receive a first measured physiological parameter of a patient from a first medical sensor and a second physiological parameter of the patient from a second medical sensor. The medical device is further configured to determine a medical condition exists when a first pattern is detected in the first measured physiological parameter and a second pattern is detected in the second measured physiological parameter. The first and second patterns occur within a predetermined window of time. The medical device is further configured to communicate with a gateway using a web service, wherein the medical device is a web client of the web service, and the gateway is a web server of the web service.

Claims (14)

  1. A medical device configured to: operatively receive a first measured physiological parameter of a patient from a first medical sensor and a second physiological parameter of the patient from a second medical sensor; determine a medical condition exists when a first pattern is detected in the first measured physiological parameter and a second pattern is detected in the second measured physiological parameter, wherein the first and second patterns occur within a predetermined window of time; and communicate with a gateway using a web service, wherein the medical device is a web client of the web service, and the gateway is a web server of the web service.
  2. The medical device as claimed in claim 1, comprising an interrogator circuit configured to interrogate the medical sensor to receive the first measured physiological parameter, wherein the medical sensor is configured to receive an interrogation signal to at least partially power the medical sensor.
  3. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the medical device is configured to invoke at least one web method using the web service.
  4. The medical device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the medical device is configured to communicate with the gateway using at least one transaction-based communication via the web service.
  5. The medical device as claimed in a claim 3 or claim 4, comprising: a transceiver; and at least one processor configured to interface with the transceiver to communicate via the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to communicate with the web service.
  6. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the medical device is configured to communicate to a server a continuous quality event corresponding to at least one of a DERS override, a hard limit override, a soft limit override, and an internal error of the medical device.
  7. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the medical device is an infusion pump.
  8. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the medical device is configured to detect the first and/or second patterns without regard to a scale of the first and/or second measured physiological parameters.
  9. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the medical device is configured to detect the first and/or second patterns without regard to a starting value of the first and/or second measured physiological parameters.
  10. The medical device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the first pattern and/or the second pattern is a trend.
  11. A server configured to communicate with a medical device, wherein the sever is configured to: receive a first measured physiological parameter and a second measured physiological parameter for storage therein; and determine a medical condition exists when a first pattern is detected in the first measured physiological parameter and a second pattern is detected in the second measured physiological parameter, wherein the first and second patterns occur within a predetermined window of time
  12. The sever as claimed in claim 11, wherein server is configured to receive from the medical device a continuous quality event corresponding to at least one of: a DERS override, a hard limit override, a soft limit override, and an internal error of the medical device.
  13. A gateway configured to facilitate communication, using a web service, of a medical device with a server, wherein the gateway is a web server of the web service, and the medical device is a web client of the web service.
  14. The gateway as claimed in claim 13, wherein the gateway is configured to communicate with the medical device using at least one transaction-based communication via the web service.
