Medical monitoring hub
First Claim
1. A medical monitoring hub configured to monitor physiological parameters of a single patient, the medical monitoring hub comprising:
- a plurality of communication ports, wherein each of the plurality of communication ports is configured to;
accept data from respective electronic devices monitoring a single patient, andprovide isolated or non-isolated power to the respective electronic devices;
a display;
a housing positioning the display and the communication ports; and
one or more processors configured to execute instructions in order to;
receive, from an electronic memory, information indicating power requirements associated with an electronic device that is plugged into a communication port of the plurality of communication ports;
determine, based on the information, whether or not isolated power is required by the electronic device; and
provide, via the communication port and based on determining whether or not isolated power is required by the electronic device, isolated or non-isolated power to the electronic device.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub includes configurable medical ports and serial ports for communicating with other medical devices in the patient'"'"'s proximity. Moreover, the hub communicates with a portable patient monitor. The monitor, when docked with the hub provides display graphics different from when undocked, the display graphics including anatomical information. The hub assembles the often vast amount of electronic medical data, associates it with the monitored patient, and in some embodiments, communicates the data to the patient'"'"'s medical records.
