Abstract
A clinical personal protection equipment (PPE) system, worn by a healthcare provider, that can include a data display and selectively controls medical equipment. The system includes a computer platform that selectively communicates with a network, such as a Wifi network, and selectively communicates with and controls one or more electronic devices, such as an interactive rotating hemostatic valve and Tuohy-Borst adapter. The headset fits about the head of user and includes a face shield. A camera is located on the headset and is in communication with the computer platform, the camera creating visual data of a forward view from the headset and transmitting the visual data to the computer platform.
Claims20
A personal protection equipment (PPE) system, comprising:
- a computer platform configured to selectively communicate with a network, the computer platform further configured to selectively communicate and control one or more electronic devices;
- a headset configured to selectively fit about a head of a user, the headset further including a face shield to protect the head of the user;
- and
- a camera located on the headset and in communication with the computer platform, the camera at least selectively creating visual data of a forward view from the headset,
- wherein the camera further selectively transmits the visual data to the computer platform.
A method of recording and displaying medical data in a personal protection equipment (PPE) system, comprising:
- capturing visual medical data by a camera located on a PPE headset that is configured to selectively fit about a head of user, the headset further including a face shield to protect the head of the user;
- sending the visual medical data to a computer platform, the computer platform configured to selectively communicate with a network and selectively communicate and control one or more electronic devices;
- receiving the visual medical data at the computer platform;
- and
- displaying, through control with the computer platform, the medical data to the user.
A personal protection equipment (PPE) system for capturing medical data, comprising:
- a control means for selectively controlling one or more electronic devices, the control means further selectively communicating with a network;
- a headset means for selectively fitting about a head of user, the headset means further including a face shield to protect the head of the user;
- and
- a camera means for selectively capturing visual data of a forward view from the headset means, the camera means located on the headset means and in communication with the control means, the camera means further selectively transmitting visual data to the control means.
