Abstract

An automated dose-response record system including a module for housing waste-heat producing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including at least one physiologic monitor, and including a system to measure, temporally correlate and record dose and response events.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An automated dose-response record system of data consolidation module for creating a timely and actionable remote healthcare record, the automated dose-response record system comprising:
a housing configured to house electronic and electromechanical medical equipment that produce waste heat;
at least one machine vision digital camera positioned to detect dose events;
processing circuitry in electrical communication with one or more of item of the electronic and electromechanical equipment and at least one machine vision digital camera, the processing circuitry to receive dose event digital data from the at least one machine vision digital camera; and
at least one of a physiologic monitor and a response machine vision digital camera to detect response events;
wherein the processing circuitry is in electrical communication with one or more of the physiologic monitor and/or the response machine vision digital camera to receive response event digital data based on the detected response events; and
wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to:
interpret images using one or both of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI);
timestamp and temporally correlate the dose event digital data and response event digital data; and
automatically transmit the temporally correlated dose event digital data and response event digital data to a remote display to be used for remote supervision, remote monitoring, or remote consultation.

2. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment, mounted in or on or near the data consolidation module, is automatically consolidated by the processing circuitry.

3. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is configured to generate dose event digital data, wherein the dose event digital data includes data representing at least one of: medication administration, intravenous (IV) fluid administration, inhalation gases administration, mechanical ventilation, pneumoperitoneum insufflation, and electrosurgical use.

4. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is configured to generate dose event digital data, wherein the dose event digital data includes video observation of a patient with AI and/or ML analysis of the video observation to produce dose event data that includes data indicative of at least one of: intubation, mask ventilation, pulmonary percussion, airway suctioning, feeding, repositioning the patient, and assisting the patient.

5. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is configured to generate response event digital data, wherein the response event digital data also includes data indicative of at least one of: output of the physiologic monitors, a urine output monitor, a blood loss monitor, laboratory tests, and stress tests.

6. The automated dose-response record system of claim 5 , wherein the response event digital data includes physiologic data generated by a physiologic monitor including at least one of: an electrocardiogram, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, end-tidal CO2, expired gases, respiratory rate, hemoglobin, hematocrit, cardiac output, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, brain activity monitor, sedation monitor, urine output, blood loss, blood electrolytes, blood glucose, blood coagulability, train-of-four relaxation monitor data, intravenous (IV) extravasation monitor data, body weight, and other suitable physiologic data.

7. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is configured to generate the response event digital data, and wherein the response event digital data generated by the machine vision digital camera include data indicative of at least one of: smiling, grimacing, lacrimation (tearing), coughing, skin color changes, remote plethysmography, movement, restlessness, getting out of bed without assistance, changes in breathing pattern, and changes in moods.

8. The automated dose-response record system of claim 7 , wherein remote plethysmography (rPPG) is used to remotely monitor vital signs including one or more of: heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygenation saturation, and temperature using visible light and Red Green Blue (RBG) cameras or using near-infrared light (NIR) and NIR cameras.

9. The automated dose-response record system of claim 7 , wherein remote plethysmography (rPPG) is used to remotely measure blood components including one or more of: blood glucose and hemoglobin levels using visible light and Red Green Blue (RBG) cameras or using near-infrared light (NIR) and NIR cameras.

10. The automated dose-response record system of claim 7 , wherein light sources configured to emit visible light or near-infrared light (NIR) are attached to a movable arm configured to position the light sources directly above a head of a patient while the patient is laying supine on a surgical table or a hospital bed, optimizing a digital image by optimizing the lighting for a Red Green Blue (RBG) camera or NIR camera.

11. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more machine vision digital cameras is mounted to the module by a movable arm that can position the machine vision digital camera directly in front of a face of a patient when the patient is laying supine on a surgical table or hospital bed, optimizing the digital image by optimizing a view of the camera of the face and an angle of the image.

12. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is positioned to document activities on a surgical field and a surgical procedure with processing circuitry and software configured to document dose events based on images generated by the machine vision digital camera.

13. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one machine vision digital camera is configured to generate response event digital data, wherein the response event digital data recorded by the machine vision digital camera includes AI recognition and identification of patient moods.

14. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry and software are configured to provide automatic data entry into the electronic medical record.

15. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , including AI software that can analyze the temporally correlated dose events and response events to identify expected and unexpected responses, and wherein the expected and unexpected responses are reported to a clinician and to the remote display as a clinical decision support service by the processing circuitry.

16. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to structure and organize consolidated data from the electronic and the electromechanical medical equipment and the one or more machine vision digital cameras so that the data can populate a big data database for subsequent big data analytics.

17. The automated dose-response record system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to add timestamps or other indicators of time so that unrelated data can be temporally correlated during subsequent big data analytics.

18. An automated dose-response record system
