BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to medical devices, and more specifically, to monitoring the administration and interaction with the medical device during a medical event to improve the administration of the medical device and the resolution of the medical event. As various medical devices are designed to be administered during an acute medical event, the person using the medical device may be under greater mental stress. This mental stress may be compounded if the medical device is unfamiliar to the administrating individual, or if treatment deviates from a typical administration, which may lead to more stress and a non-optimal administration of the medical device—wasting medication, requiring multiple applications, not delivering treatment to the correct location, non-timely treatment of the medical event, etc.

SUMMARY

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for medical device administration and interaction is provided, the method including: identifying a medical event affecting a first individual, a medical device associated with treating the medical event, and an initial attentiveness level of an administering individual; outputting a tutorial for how to use the medical device to treat the medical event with a first control level, wherein the first control level based on the initial attentiveness level of the administering individual; and in response to receiving a triggering event while outputting the tutorial: determining a current attentiveness level for the administering individual; and in response to the current attentiveness level indicating a change from the initial attentiveness level, adjusting the tutorial based on a second control level, different than the first control level, based on the change from the initial attentiveness level.

According to one embodiment of the present invention a system for medical device administration and interaction is provided, the system including: a processor; and a memory storage device, including processor-executable instructions that when performed by the processor perform an operation comprising: identifying a medical event affecting a first individual, a medical device associated with treating the medical event, and an initial attentiveness level of an administering individual; outputting a tutorial for how to use the medical device to treat the medical event with a first control level, wherein the first control level based on the initial attentiveness level of the administering individual; and in response to receiving a triggering event while outputting the tutorial: determining a current attentiveness level for the administering individual; and in response to the current attentiveness level indicating a change from the initial attentiveness level, adjusting the tutorial based on a second control level, different than the first control level, based on the change from the initial attentiveness level.

According to one embodiment of the present invention a computer program product including a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith that is executable by one or more computer processors to provide for medical device administration and interaction is provided to identify a medical event affecting a first individual, a medical device associated with treating the medical event, and an initial attentiveness level of an administering individual; output a tutorial for how to use the medical device to treat the medical event with a first control level, wherein the first control level based on the initial attentiveness level of the administering individual; and in response to receiving a triggering event while outputting the tutorial: determine a current attentiveness level for the administering individual; and in response to the current attentiveness level indicating a change from the initial attentiveness level, adjust the tutorial based on a second control level, different than the first control level, based on the change from the initial attentiveness level.
