Remotely accessing a ventilator
View Patent ↗A method for remotely accessing a ventilator. The method includes receiving a request to remotely access ventilator data, at the ventilator, from a remote device; transmitting the ventilator data to the remote device from the ventilator; and receiving remote caregiver data, at the ventilator, from the remote device, wherein the remote caregiver data is based on the ventilator data.
1. A method for remotely accessing a ventilator, said method comprising:
receiving a request to remotely access ventilator data of a ventilator, at said ventilator, from a remote mobile device of a remote caregiver;
transmitting said ventilator data to said remote mobile device from said ventilator;
receiving remote caregiver data, at said ventilator, from said remote mobile device, wherein said remote caregiver data is based on said ventilator data and comprises real-time video of said caregiver captured by the remote mobile device;
providing the real-time video of said remote caregiver from the remote mobile device for display on the ventilator, the real-time video comprising a communication between a patient or local caregiver at the ventilator and the remote caregiver; and
receiving, by said ventilator and from the remote mobile device of the remote caregiver, a modification of at least one ventilator setting or ventilator protocol of the ventilator based on the communication between the patient or the local caregiver at the ventilator and the remote caregiver, the modification being implemented by said ventilator in response to receipt of the modification.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said transmitting said ventilator data to said remote mobile device further comprises:
streaming said ventilator data to said remote mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said transmitting said ventilator data further comprises:
transmitting video of the patient.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said transmitting said ventilator data further comprises:
transmitting audio of the patient.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting said ventilator data to a medical entity.
6. A system for remotely accessing a ventilator comprising:
a receiver for receiving by a ventilator communication from a remote mobile device of a remote caregiver, wherein said communication from said remote mobile device comprises:
a request to remotely access ventilator data of said ventilator; and
remote caregiver data comprising real-time video of said caregiver captured by the remote mobile device;
a transmitter for transmitting communication, wherein said communication comprises ventilator data; and
a display for providing the real-time video of said remote caregiver from the remote mobile device for display on the ventilator, the real-time video comprising a communication between a patient or local caregiver at the ventilator and the remote caregiver,
wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, by said ventilator from the remote mobile device of the remote caregiver a modification of at least one ventilator setting or ventilator protocol of the ventilator based on the communication between the patient or the local caregiver at the ventilator and the remote caregiver, the modification being implemented by said ventilator in response to receipt of the modification.
7. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
a microphone.
8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
a camera.
