Head mounted display used to electronically document patient information and chart patient care

Abstract

A head mounted display, typically in the form of glasses or eyewear, can be used to electronically document patient information and chart patient care. The head mounted display device can interface with EMR software to allow a physician to do patient care tasks and rounds, simultaneously documenting in the patient record by giving verbal commands to the head mounted display. The patient chart and history can be made visible to the physician through the eyewear, allowing the physician to move freely from patient to patient. The eyewear display can also be able to interface with other medical equipment to pull in vital information from heart monitors, respiratory devices, IV devices, and other numerical valuations involved with patient care. As a result, the physician can provide superior patient care without losing precious time spent sitting at a computer for performing documentation and charting.
