Halma has filed a patent for a system, computer program product, and method that facilitate concurrent monitoring of multiple obstetrics patients over a data network. The system receives and processes data on pregnancy progression and vital signs to determine criticality levels for each patient. The system can selectively transmit notification data to medical experts based on criticality levels and provide a graphical user interface that presents an ordered list of patients. The interface allows users to select a patient and view detailed pregnancy progression information. Additionally, the interface enables users to send notifications to medical experts.

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230230689A1) describes a method for monitoring a set of obstetrics patients over a data network. The method involves using a computer device with a display screen and one or more processors. The device receives electronic notification data associated with a particular obstetrics patient from a clinical monitoring module. This data is configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) on the device's screen, which includes pregnancy progression information elements for the patient. The GUI also provides a user operable control component that allows the user to request additional information about the patient.

When the user activates the control component, a signal is sent from the device to the clinical monitoring module, requesting more information. The device then receives data from the module over the data network, which adapts the GUI to display an expanded set of pregnancy progression information elements for the patient. The user can access this information through the GUI.

The patent also describes the inclusion of a user operable control component that can be a hyperlink or a touch-sensitive area on the display screen. This component allows the user to establish communication with a local patient station located near the particular obstetrics patient. The communication can take the form of a telephone call, video call, email, SMS message, audio alarm, or visual alarm trigger.

Additionally, the patent mentions the ability to trigger the transmission of further notification data associated with the patient over the data network. This data can be sent to the local patient station and may include email, SMS messages, audio alarm triggers, visual alarm triggers, or specific requests for medical care.

The computer device described in the patent is specifically designed for monitoring a set of obstetrics patients over a data network. It includes a display screen and one or more processors that receive electronic notification data from a clinical monitoring module. The device's GUI presents pregnancy progression information elements for a particular patient and allows the user to request additional information. When the user activates the control component, a signal is sent to the module, and data is received to expand the GUI's information elements.

The patent also mentions the inclusion of a user operable control component that can be a hyperlink or a touch-sensitive area on the display screen. This component enables the user to communicate with a local patient station near the obstetrics patient. The communication can take various forms, such as telephone calls, video calls, emails, SMS messages, audio alarms, or visual alarm triggers.

Furthermore, the device allows the user to trigger the transmission of further notification data associated with the patient over the data network. This data can be sent to the local patient station and may include email, SMS messages, audio alarm triggers, visual alarm triggers, or specific requests for medical care.

Overall, this patent describes a method and computer device for monitoring obstetrics patients over a data network, providing a user-friendly interface and enabling communication and transmission of important information for patient care.
