• (a) measuring health-related parameters of the medical patient;
• (b) recording the measured health-related parameters in the central computer;
• (c) displaying the measured health-related parameters on the interactive display;
• (d) repeating steps (a)-(c) a plurality of times to collect a series of measured health-related parameters over time;
• (e) plotting on the interactive display the series of measured health-related parameters as a chart or a graph.

A system for promoting enhanced healing of a medical patient, comprising:

• a patient room including an interactive room display and accommodations for the medical patient;
• an atrium accessible to the medical patient;
• an access corridor connecting the patient room to the atrium, the access including a plurality of interactive corridor displays;
• a central computer capable of networking the interactive room display with the interactive corridor displays;
• and
• a remote unit directly accessible to the medical patient, the remote unit having a capability to interact with the interactive room display and the plurality of interactive corridor displays directly, or through the central computer.
