Monitoring system for monitoring a patient and method for operating the monitoring system

A method for operating a monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising a deepfake device, the deepfake device comprising an image generator that is configured to replace a natural visual appearance of a person or a natural environment with a synthetic visual appearance or synthetic environment that is different than the natural visual appearance of the person or the natural environment, wherein at least two synthetic visual appearances or two synthetic environments are selectable, the deepfake device further comprising a visualization device for visualizing the synthetic visual appearance of the person or the surrounding synthetic environment, a measuring unit configured to record at least one physiological parameter of the patient, an evaluation unit that is configured to evaluate the at least one measured physiological parameter of the patient, and an actuation unit configured to actuate the deepfake device such that a synthetic visual appearance or synthetic background is selected or rejected depending on a result of the evaluation by the evaluation unit, the method comprising:

• activating the deepfake device, wherein a first synthetic visual appearance or a first synthetic environment is set;
• recording the at least one physiological parameter of the patient during operation of the deepfake device using the first synthetic visual appearance or the first synthetic environment;
• evaluating the at least one physiological parameter of the patient;
• and
• automatically actuating the deepfake device depending on a result of the evaluating.
