Abstract

A system and method for interactive healing of a patient. A method of configuring a room of a long-term patient to promote patient comprises providing a remote display. The remote display is portable and is removably coupled to a swing arm accessible by the patient on a patient bed. The remote display is configured to control each of a wall display, a lighting system, an audio system, a room shading system, an environmental control system, a microphone, and a camera. Each of the microphone and camera are separate from the remote display and are accessible by the patient on the patient bed. The method includes configuring the wall display on a wall of the room. The wall display has a navigation display and a plurality of content displays. The remote display is usable to select content for display on at least one of the plurality of content displays.

Claims (36)

1. A method of configuring a room of a long-term patient to promote enhanced healing of said patient, said method comprising:

providing a remote display, said remote display being portable and being removably coupled to a swing arm accessible by said patient on a patient bed, said remote display being configured to control each of a wall display, a lighting system, an audio system, a room shading system, an environmental control system, a microphone, and a camera, each of said microphone and camera separate from said remote display and being accessible by said patient on said patient bed;

configuring said wall display on a wall of said room, said wall display having a navigation display and a plurality of content displays; and

configuring at least one of said plurality of content displays as a window shade;

wherein:

said remote display is usable to select content for display on at least one of said plurality of content displays and to mirror said content on said remote display; and

at least one of said plurality of content displays is a dedicated device configured to allow said patient to communicate with a person remote from said patient.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring at least one of said plurality of content displays to enable said patient to create and send a greeting card to a person remote from said patient.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying on at least one of said plurality of content displays a lifecycle of a caterpillar in real time.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying on at least one of said plurality of content displays a lifecycle of a seed in real time.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring said remote display to actuate an audio oasis application;

wherein, said audio oasis application automatically controls each of said room shading system and said audio system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling at least one of said plurality of content displays to a motorized lift.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of content displays wraps around said room.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said wall display is an integrated assembly couplable to a wall socket.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring one of said remote display and said wall display for the keeping and sharing of a progress log by said patient, said progress log indicating mental health parameters and physical health parameters of said patient over time.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising situating at least one of said plurality of content displays in a corridor outside said room.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a virtual garden on said wall display, said virtual garden indicating the progress of a physical garden in real time.

12. A method of configuring a room of a long-term patient to promote enhanced healing of said patient, said method comprising:

providing a remote display, said remote display being portable and being removably coupled to a swing arm accessible by said patient on a patient bed, said remote display being configured to control each of a wall display, a lighting system, an audio system, a room shading system, an environmental control system, a microphone, and a camera;

configuring said wall display on a wall of said room, said wall display having a navigation display and a plurality of content displays; and

configuring said remote display to actuate an audio oasis application;

wherein:

said remote display is usable to select content for display on at least one of said plurality of content displays and to mirror said content on said remote display;

said audio oasis application automatically controls each of said room shading system and said audio system; and

at least one of said plurality of content displays is a dedicated device configured to run a healing application.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein a size of said content display is greater than a size of said navigation display.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising situating at least one of said plurality of content displays outside said room.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising changing the opacity of said wall display.

16. A method of configuring a room of a long-term patient to promote enhanced healing of said patient, said method comprising:

providing a remote display, said remote display being portable and being removably coupled to a swing arm accessible by said patient on a patient bed, said remote display being configured to control each of a wall display, a lighting system, an audio system, a room shading system, an environmental control system, a microphone, and a camera, each of said microphone and camera separate from said remote display and being accessible by said patient on said patient bed;

configuring at least one of said plurality of content displays as a window shade; and

configuring said wall display on a wall of said room, said wall display having a navigation display and a plurality of content displays wrapping around said room;

wherein, said remote display is usable to select content for display on at least one of said plurality of content displays.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein said room is in a home of said patient.
