1. An infant care apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a horizontal surface configured to support an infant;
at least one wall extending generally vertically from the horizontal surface;
a canopy movably positioned above the horizontal surface, the canopy movable between a closed position wherein the canopy engages the at least one wall and an open position wherein the canopy is vertically spaced apart from the horizontal surface and the at least one wall;
a microenvironment region defined as a volume bounded by the horizontal surface, the at least one wall, and the canopy;
a graphical display disposed within the microenvironment region;
a diagnostic imaging device at least partially disposed within the microenvironment region, the diagnostic imaging device configured to obtain diagnostic images of the infant in the microenvironment region; and
a processor coupled to the graphical display and the diagnostic imaging device, wherein the processor operates the diagnostic imaging device to acquire diagnostic images and the processor operates the graphical display to present the diagnostic images on the graphical display.

17. An infant care system, the system comprising:
-
an infant platform comprising a surface configured to support an infant; a plurality of walls extending generally upwards from the surface; a microenvironment region defined as a three-dimensional volume bounded by the surface and the plurality of walls; a diagnostic imaging device at least partially disposed within the microenvironment region, the diagnostic imaging device configured to obtain diagnostic images of the infant in the microenvironment region; at least one physiological transducer at least partially disposed within the microenvironment region, the physiological transducer configured to obtain physiological data from the infant in the microenvironment region; a first graphical display disposed within the microenvironment region to present the diagnostic images of the infant; a second graphical display disposed outside of the microenvironment region to present physiological data; and a processor communicatively connected to the diagnostic imaging device, the at least one physiological transducer, the first graphical display, and the second graphical display, wherein the processor is operable to control the diagnostic imaging device to acquire diagnostic images and to control the first graphical display to present the acquired diagnostic images and wherein the processor is further operable to acquire physiological data through the at least one physiological transducer and to control the second graphical display to present the physiological data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
