Abstract: A method of directing positioning of ECG electrodes on a patient includes receiving at a processor an image of a patient from a camera of an augmented reality device. The processor analyzes the image for anatomical landmarks on the patient and generates an overlay image. The overlay image is shown over the real time image of the patient on the augmented reality device. The overlay image includes visual indicators of the desired electrode placement. The method further includes determining whether the actual location of each of the electrodes is correct and provides information on the augmented reality device as to whether the electrodes and lead placement is correct. An image of the electrode placement is stored with the ECG measurements, which can be used to verify correct electrode placement and to confirm consistent electrode placement over serial measurements. The augmented reality device allows for gesture control by the clinician.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system that operates mobile medical devices based upon a known location of the mobile medical device within a facility. Each of the mobile medical devices communicates with a central control unit to obtain information and communicate information received from the patient. Each communication event between the mobile medical device and the central control unit can be used to identify the location of the mobile medical device within the facility. The known physical location of the mobile medical device can be correlated to one of a plurality of departments within the care facility. Once the location is correlated to the department within the care facility, the operation of the mobile medical device can be adjusted by selecting an operating mode and user interface based on the department. The automated adjustment of the operating mode and user interface improves the function of the medical device without requiring user input.
