AUGMENTED REALITY IN HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339227 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY IN HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATIONS

The abstract describes a system for healthcare communications that opens a private communications channel on a caregiver's device when an alarm is triggered in a patient environment, providing augmented reality to resolve the condition that triggered the alarm.

  • The system determines if the patient is risk-sensitive.
  • A private communications channel is opened on the caregiver's device.
  • The channel is concealed from the patient.
  • Augmented reality is provided to resolve the condition.
  • The system aims to improve communication and response in healthcare settings.

Potential Applications: - Hospitals - Nursing homes - Home healthcare settings

Problems Solved: - Improving response time in healthcare emergencies - Enhancing communication between caregivers and patients

Benefits: - Faster resolution of healthcare issues - Enhanced patient care and safety

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Healthcare Communication System for Improved Patient Care" This technology can be used in various healthcare settings to improve communication and response times, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. The market implications include increased efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare delivery.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine if a patient is risk-sensitive? - The system likely uses sensors or data analysis to assess the patient's condition and risk level. 2. What types of conditions can be resolved using augmented reality in this system? - Various healthcare conditions or emergencies could potentially be addressed using augmented reality technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

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.
