MEDICAL PATIENT MONITORING AND DATA INPUT SYSTEMS, METHODS AND USER INTERFACES

摘要

Systems, methods, and associated user interfaces for medical patient health monitoring systems are provided. Data entry at a patient system deployed at a patient location is facilitated through a soft keypad graphical element. The soft keypad graphical element defines user input areas of the display which correspond to respective alphanumeric inputs, and user inputs within any of the user input areas are detected. Detected user inputs may be displayed, stored in a memory, transmitted to a remote location, or otherwise processed. Patient-site monitoring system configuration mechanisms are also provided to support configuration of a patient system to operate with any of various peripheral devices. The presentation of prompts and other information to a patient is preferably controlled according to how the patient system has been configured, illustratively the types of peripheral devices in conjunction with which the patient system has been configured to operate.
