Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring patients undergoing a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scan provides an input, a processor, and an output. The input provides the processor with at least one sensor data of a patient undergoing an MRI scan by an MRI scanner. The input provides the processor with at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner for the MRI scan. The input also provides the processor with at least one characteristic of the patient. The processor predicts a stress level of the patient and/or a motion state of the patient, the prediction or predictions utilize at least one sensor data of the patient, the at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner, and the at least one characteristic of the patient. The output outputs information relating to the predicted stress level of the patient and/or the predicted motion state of the patient.

Abstract: An entertainment content provider and method for providing an entertainment sequence to a patient during a medical procedure, comprises matching [procedural steps with entertainment blocks that match on time and content appropriate for the procedural step to provide an engaging storyline throughout the procedure and that may be adapted on the fly as procedural steps change.

Abstract: Entertainment provided to a patient during a conscious medical procedure is adaptively created and updated such that the length of the entertainment matches the length of the medical procedure even if the length of the medical procedure is extended or shortened while it is ongoing.
