Intelligent Patient Monitor Mount

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a patient monitor mount, that a patient monitor has been mounted thereto and that electronic communication has been enabled between the patient monitor and the patient monitor mount, the patient monitor displaying data derived from at least one medical device coupled to, or in communication with, the patient monitor mount, the patient monitor mount comprising a dock connector, memory, and a microprocessor, the patient monitor mount being separate and distinct from the patient monitor;
• monitoring, by the patient monitor mount and in response to the detecting, data received from the patient monitor, for at least one event characterizing a change in status of the at least one medical device;
• determining, by the patient monitor mount and based on the monitoring, that an event has occurred;
• generating, by the patient monitor mount in response to the determination that an event has occurred, at least one command to transmit to a visualization device, the at least one command, when received by the visualization device, causes a visualization in which data displayed on the visualization device changes;
• and
• transmitting, by the patient monitor mount to the visualization device, the generated at least one command.
