Abstract
A user interface (20, 20′, 20″, 20″′ for providing authenticated access to medical equipment, data, or records includes a dynamic display (30, 30″′) that selectively shows user options. A touchscreen overlay (40) aligned with the dynamic display identifies a touch location on, in, or adjacent the dynamic display. A fingerprint reader (50, 50′, 50″, 50″′ is triggered by the touchscreen overlay and acquires a fingerprint at the touch location. User authentication, access control and logging are performed based on identifying and authenticating the fingerprint.
