View page
US Patent:
7649449, Jan 19, 2010
Filed:
Jun 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/447743
Inventors:
Mathew Fenske - Glen Ellyn IL, US
Benjamin L. Somberg - Shoreview MN, US
Jeffrey E. Stahmann - Ramsey MN, US
Mark L. Cohen - Atlanta GA, US
Dale E. Foster - Woodbury MN, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G08B 29/00
US Classification:
340506, 34053912, 3405731
Abstract:
A system and method for providing synergistic alert condition processing in an automated patient management system is presented. An alert condition is classified along a continuum that includes adverse outcome potential versus medical intervention impact potential. The alert condition is managed by assigning a disposition based on relative placement of the alert condition along the continuum. An alert notification is communicated over a selectable mode of communications and is conditioned upon the assigned disposition being actionable.

US Patent:
7801612, Sep 21, 2010
Filed:
Jun 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/447523
Inventors:
David C. Johnson - Inver Grove Heights MN, US
Howard D. Simms - Shoreview MN, US
Kenneth P. Hoyme - Plymouth MN, US
Muralidharan Srivathsa - Shoreview MN, US
Benjamin L. Somberg - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 32, 607 27, 600301
Abstract:
A system and method for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation is presented. A noncontinuously coupleable interface is provided over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient. The patient data is periodically retrieved by interfacing to and interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency. Further retrieval of the patient data is permitted independent of the pre-defined schedule by enabling operation of the interface based on a remotely-specifiable criteria for controlling locally-initiated patient data retrieval.

System And Method For Managing Patient Triage In An Automated Patient Management System

View page
US Patent:
20060253300, Nov 9, 2006
Filed:
May 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/121594
Inventors:
Benjamin Somberg - Shoreview MN, US
Kenneth Hoyme - Plymouth MN, US
Howard Simms - Shoreview MN, US
Muralidharan Srivathsa - Shoreview MN, US
David Johnson - Inver Grove Heights MN, US
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
705002000, 600300000
Abstract:
A system and method for managing patient triage in an automated patient management system is presented. A criteria for placement of patient data into a display is defined for a plurality of remotely managed patients. The patient data originates from one or more patient data sources operating on each such patient and selected from at least one of a physiological sensor and a therapy delivery device. An ordering of the patient data within the display is defined based on a need of care in relation to one or more of a type of health condition, severity of the health condition, and facilities available to attend to the health condition. An organization of the patient data within the display is defined in relation to metadata associated with the patient data.

Methods, Systems, And Computer-Readable Media For Enabling Collaborative Communication Between Browser And Non-Browser Components In An Advanced Patient Management System

View page
US Patent:
20060293916, Dec 28, 2006
Filed:
Jun 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/158602
Inventors:
Benjamin Somberg - Shoreview MN, US
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
US Classification:
705002000
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer-readable media for enabling collaborative communication between browser and non-browser components in an advanced patient management system. In one embodiment, patient data in the advanced patient management system is selected in a browser component. The browser component may include an Internet web browser which displays the patient data as a web page. A non-browser component is utilized to detect the patient data in the browser component and display the patient data. The non-browser component may be configured as a plug-in software module to the web browser. The non-browser component may further be utilized to modify patient data and display the modified patient data in the browser component. The modified patient data may include settings associated with a patient monitoring device in the advanced patient management system.

Apparatuses For Ensuring Positioning Of A Blood Pressure Cuff And Methods Of Using The Same

View page
US Patent:
20070106166, May 10, 2007
Filed:
Oct 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/248394
Inventors:
Benjamin Somberg - Shoreview MN, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/02
US Classification:
600499000, 600490000
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods ensure positioning of a blood pressure cuff on an arm to affect accurate measurements of blood pressure. An apparatus includes an elongated air bag of predetermined length disposed in the blood pressure cuff and adapted for inflation. The length has opposite ends to be placed around the arm. The apparatus also includes an appendage affixed to the cuff and extended from a bottom edge of the cuff. The appendage is affixed in a position relative to the cuff and formed in shape to fit an elbow in a manner that ensures the cuff is positioned to affect an accurate measurement of the blood pressure. Additionally the apparatus includes a tube attached to the cuff. When the cuff is positioned around the arm and the appendage is positioned on the elbow, a measuring end of the tube is forced into position near a brachial artery of the patient.
