Publication number: 20200211696Abstract: Systems and methods for employing virtual environmental augmentation in clinical care environments to enhance a clinician's in-the-moment knowledge, leverage past experiences of the clinician and others, and improve the quality of patient care are provided. Such virtual environmental augmentation may align with prior-established, evidence-based clinical processes and enhance the clinician's in-the-moment knowledge by extracting relevant data from one or more clinical sources and presenting a virtual representation of at least a portion of the extracted data (or a summary, exemplification, or interpretation thereof) in the clinician's field-of-view while the clinician is present in a clinical care environment and is utilizing an environmental augmentation device. Such environmental augmentation additionally may facilitate real-time documentation enabling more complete clinical records and ultimately improving the quality of patient care.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Paul Weaver, Jay Christopher Vaglio, Anna-Therese Fowler, Alex Lende, Eric A.
