First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a display configured to display images and/or videos;
an image source configured to be in communication with the display, the image source comprising a content, the content being the images and/or videos, and the image source being further configured to allow the content to be displayed on the display;
a physiological information gatherer configured to measure a current physiological information of a patient when the patient is positioned to see the images and/or videos on the display; and
a processor configured to receive the measured current physiological information from the physiological information gatherer, the processor being further configured to be in communication with the image source, and the processor being further configured to transmit to the display the measured current physiological information and a target breathing rate for display on the display,wherein the images and/or videos in the image source are ranked according to an anxiety provoking level value, wherein the anxiety provoking level value is a degree of anxiety of the patient caused by the images and/or videos in the image source,wherein the processor is configured to display on the display a first image and/or video with a first anxiety provoking level value,wherein the processor is configured to determine when the measured current physiological information of the patient viewing the images and/or videos is below a threshold,wherein when the measured current physiological information is below the threshold, the processor is configured to display on the display a second image and/or video having a second anxiety provoking level value higher than the first anxiety provoking level value of the first image and/or video, andwherein the processor is configured to select the first and second images and/or videos of the images and/or videos in the image source and output the selected first and second images and/or videos to the display for display based on the measured current physiological information of the patient and the anxiety provoking level value of the images and/or videos in the image source that are ranked.

Abstract
A system and a method include a display configured to display video and/or still images, and an image source that is in communication with the display and configured to allow content of the image source to be displayed on the display. Further, the system and method include a physiological information gatherer configured to obtain a current physiological information of a patient when the patient is positioned to see the video and/or still image on the display. A processor is configured to receive the current physiological information from the physiological information gatherer, and the processor, being in communication with the image source, is further configured to transmit to the display the current physiological information and a target breathing rate.

10. A method comprising acts of:
-
displaying images and/or videos on a display; allowing a content of an image source to be displayed on the display by configuring the image source to be in communication with the display, the content comprising the images and/or videos; measuring via a physiological information gatherer a measured current physiological information of a patient when the patient is positioned to see the images and/or videos on the display; receiving the measured current physiological information from the physiological information gatherer by a processor, the processor being in communication with the image source; transmitting by the processor to the display the measured current physiological information and a target breathing rate for display on the display; displaying on the display the measured current physiological information together with a desired physiological information level; ranking the images and/or videos in the image source according to an anxiety provoking level value, wherein the anxiety provoking level value is a degree of anxiety of the patient caused by the images and/or videos in the image source; displaying on the display a first image and/or video with a first anxiety provoking level value via the processor; determining by the processor when the measured current physiological information of the patient viewing the images and/or video is below a threshold; displaying on the display via the processor a second image having a second anxiety provoking level value higher than the first anxiety provoking level when the measured current physiological information is below the threshold; and selecting by the processor the first and second images and/or videos of the images and/or videos of the image source and outputting the selected first and second images and/or videos to the display for display based on the measured current physiological information of the patient and the anxiety provoking level value of the images and/or videos in the image source that are ranked. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
