Abstract
An example method includes capturing images using a camera and detecting a medical device in a first image among the images. A request is transmitted to the medical device. Based on transmitting the request, the example method includes determining that the medical device has output a chirp signal in a second image among the images. Based on the chirp signal, the method includes causing the medical device to perform an action by transmitting a control message to the medical device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a camera communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to capture images;
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a medical device in a first image among the images;
- transmitting a request to the medical device;
- based on transmitting the request, determining that the medical device has output a chirp signal in a second image among the images;
- and
- based on determining that the medical device has output the chirp signal, causing the medical device to perform an action by transmitting a control message to the medical device.

A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a camera communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to capture images of a setting comprising a patient;
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- determining, based on the images, that the patient is in cardiac or respiratory failure;
- generating a control message based on determining that the patient is in cardiac or respiratory failure;
- causing a lighting system to increase illumination of the setting by transmitting the control message to the lighting system;
- and
- causing a speaker to mute a sound in the setting based on determining that the patient is in cardiac or respiratory failure.

A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a camera communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to capture images of a setting comprising a patient;
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, based on the images, an event by determining that the patient is in a predetermined position or has a predetermined movement;
- generating a control message based on the event;
- and
- causing, by transmitting the control message to a vital sign monitor, the vital sign monitor to refrain from detecting a physiological parameter of the patient or to mute an alarm associated with the physiological parameter.
