- Abstract:
A system for providing healthcare communications receives an alarm triggered in a patient environment where a patient is located. The system determines whether the patient is risk sensitive. When the patient is risk sensitive, the system opens a private communications channel on a device worn by a caregiver. The private communications channel is concealed from the patient, and provides augmented reality for resolving a condition that triggered the alarm.
- Claim:
1. A system for providing healthcare communications, the system comprising: at least one processing device; and at least one computer readable data storage device storing software instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to: receive an alarm triggered in a patient environment where a patient is located; determine whether the patient is risk sensitive; and when the patient is risk sensitive, open a private communications channel on a device worn by a caregiver, the private communications channel concealed from the patient, and the private communications channel providing augmented reality for resolving a condition that triggered the alarm.
- Claim:
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality includes 3D audio that automatically adjusts as a location of the caregiver changes relative to the patient environment.
- Claim:
3. The system of claim 2, wherein at least one of a volume and a direction of the 3D audio automatically adjusts to guide the caregiver toward the patient environment.
- Claim:
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality includes data projected on a head-up display worn by the caregiver.
- Claim:
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the data includes directional indicators to guide the caregiver toward the patient environment where the alarm is triggered.
- Claim:
6. The system of claim 4, wherein the data includes physiological variable measurements captured by devices located inside the patient environment or information stored in an electronic medical record of the patient.
- Claim:
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient is determined risk sensitive based on data from at least one of a microphone and a camera in the patient environment, the data indicating that the patient is exhibiting aggressive, violent, or self-harming behavior.
- Claim:
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient is determined risk sensitive based on data from an electronic medical record indicating the patient is prone to violent or self-harming behavior based on at least one of a mental disorder diagnosis and past behavior.
- Claim:
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, further cause the at least one processing device to: open a public communications channel on another device worn by the caregiver when the patient is determined not to be risk sensitive, the public communications channel not being concealed from the patient.
- Claim:
10. A method of providing healthcare communications, the method comprising: receiving an alarm triggered in a patient environment where a patient is located; determining whether the patient is risk sensitive; and when the patient is determined to be risk sensitive, opening a private communications channel on a device worn by a caregiver, the private communications channel concealed from the patient, and the private communications channel providing augmented reality for resolving a condition that triggered the alarm.
- Claim:
11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: adjusting 3D audio as a location of the caregiver changes relative to the patient environment.
- Claim:
12. The method of claim 10, further comprising: adjusting at least one of a volume and a direction of the 3D audio to guide the caregiver toward the patient environment.
- Claim:
13. The method of claim 10, further comprising: projecting data on a head-up display worn by the caregiver.
- Claim:
14. The method of claim 10, wherein the data includes directional indicators to guide the caregiver toward the patient environment where the alarm.
- Claim:
15. The method of claim 10, wherein the data includes physiological variable measurements captured by devices located inside the patient environment or information stored in an electronic medical record of the patient.
- Claim:
16. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining the patient is risk sensitive based on data from at least one of a microphone and a camera in the patient environment, the data indicating that the patient is exhibiting aggressive, violent, or self-harming behavior.
- Claim:
17. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining the patient is risk sensitive based on data from an electronic medical record indicating the patient is prone to violent or self-harming behavior based on at least one of a mental disorder diagnosis and past behavior.
- Claim:
18. The method of claim 10, further comprising: opening a public communications channel on another device worn by the caregiver when the patient is determined not to be risk sensitive, the public communications channel not being concealed from the patient.
- Claim:
19. A device for providing healthcare communications, the device comprising: a main housing; a visor removably attached to the main housing, the visor being shaped and dimensioned to shield a caregiver's face from air-borne liquid droplets and particles, the visor being made of a transparent material allowing the caregiver to see through the visor; a projector displaying data onto the visor; a microphone recording audio from surroundings of the visor; a camera capturing images from a point of view of the visor; at least one headphone connected to the main housing; at least one processing device housed in the main housing; at least one computer readable data storage device housed in the main housing, the at least one computer readable data storage device storing software instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to: transmit 3D audio through the at least one headphone, the 3D audio simulating audio from different directions and distances relative to a location of the caregiver.
- Claim:
20. The device of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, further cause the at least one processing device to: capture an image of a user interface; identify data in the image of the user interface; and store the data identified from the image in an electronic medical record.
