System and Method for Augmenting Healthcare Provider Performance
First Claim
1. A system for augmenting performance of a healthcare provider during a patient encounter comprising:
- at least one head-mounted client device wearable by said healthcare provider;
at least one remote site communicatively coupled to said head-mounted client device wearable by said healthcare provider; and
a provider interface integrated with said head-mounted client device wearable by said healthcare provider, said provider interface comprising at least one element for accepting patient-related data captured during and as a result of said patient encounter for transmission to said remote site, at least one element for transmitting the captured patient data and at least one element for presenting patient-related data transmitted from said remote site.

Abstract
A system and method for augmenting healthcare-provider performance employs a head-mounted computing device that includes camera and microphones to capture a patient encounter and events immediately before and after: video, dictation and dialog. Wearing the device by the provider during the encounter permits normal interaction between provider and patient, encouraging the provider to maintain focus on the patient. An “ears-open” earpiece delivers audio data from a remote location without obstructing the ear canal. Augmented reality multimedia is displayed via a heads-up display over the eye(s). Real-time capture of audio and video enables dramatic cost reductions by saving doctor time. Using the system, a doctor no longer need spend hours daily on transcription and EHR entry. A patient encounter is captured and transmitted to a remote station. Relevant parts of the encounter are saved or streamed, and updates to an EHR are entered for provider confirmation after the patient encounter.

19. A computer-implemented process for augmenting performance of a healthcare provider during a patient encounter comprising the steps of:
-
receiving patient-related data at a first computing device, the patient-related data transmitted from a second computing device communicatively coupled to said first computing device, said second computing device comprising a head-mounted computational device wearable by the healthcare provider, the patient-related data having been input by the healthcare provider via a user interface to the head-mounted computational device during or as a result of a patient encounter; and responsive to receiving the patient-related data transmitted by said second computing device, transmitting patient-related data to said second computing device for presentation to said healthcare provider via said user interface to said head-mounted computational device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A computer program product for augmenting performance of a healthcare provider during a patient encounter comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein execution of the computer-readable instructions programs a computational device for performing the steps of:
-
receiving patient-related data at a first computing device, the patient-related data transmitted from a second computing device communicatively coupled to said first computing device, said second computing device comprising a head-mounted computational device wearable by the healthcare provider, the patient-related data having been input by the healthcare provider via a user interface to the head-mounted computational device during or as a result of a patient encounter; and responsive to receiving the patient-related data transmitted by said second computing device, transmitting patient-related data to said second computing device for presentation to said healthcare provider via said user interface to said head-mounted computational device.
