Video visitation system and method for a health care location
First Claim
1. A video visitation system for health care locations comprising:
- a network;
a patient data server connected to the network;
a teleconferencing server connected to the network;
a patient visual monitoring system connected to the network; and
a visitor visual monitoring system connected to the network, wherein the patient data server is adapted for;
receiving patient data indicative of the condition of a patient; and
serving a continuous real time feed of the patient data to the teleconferencing server;
wherein the patient visual monitoring system is adapted for;
acquiring patient imaging data of the patient from a patient location within a health care location and conveying the patient imaging data to the teleconferencing server via the network;
responding to commands from the visitor visual monitoring system; and
displaying visitor imaging data received from the teleconferencing server via the network at the patient location; and
wherein the visitor visual monitoring system is adapted for;
acquiring visitor imaging data of a visitor from a visitor location and conveying the visitor imaging data to the teleconferencing server via the network;
issuing a control command to the visitor imaging monitoring system; and
simultaneously displaying patient imaging data and the continuous real time feed of the patient data received from the teleconferencing server via the network.

Abstract
A video visitation system and method for dispersed health care locations. A patient data server, a teleconferencing server, a patient visual monitoring system and a visitor visual monitoring system are connected to a network. A patient data server receives patient data indicative of the condition of a patient and serves the patient data continuously and in real time to the teleconferencing server. The patient visual monitoring system acquires patient imaging data from a patient location and conveys the patient imaging data to the teleconferencing server. The visitor visual monitoring system acquires visitor imaging data from a visitor location and conveys the visitor imaging data to the teleconferencing server. The patient visual monitoring system displays the visitor imaging data and the visitor visual monitoring system simultaneously displays patient imaging data and the continuous real time feed of the patient data.
