International Classification:

H04L 1228

US Classification:

370907, 370466

Abstract:

A system and method are disclosed for communicating multimedia information. Exemplary embodiments provide a Video-to-Optical apparatus (âV Oâ) that can be used over either a private or a public optical network and transfers multimedia information in SONET/SDH frame format. The V O uses SONET/SDH frames to transmit high-resolution stereoscopic images and other multimedia information through an optical network with high efficiency, high accuracy and low latency. The V O interfaces with a visualization graphics-server on one side and the optical network on the other. The V O apparatus can be placed in an optical network that offers an end-to-end OC 3 or higher rate circuit. A plurality of multimedia visualization centers can be coupled to the optical network. Each multimedia visualization center can include:(i) a V O apparatus that transmits and/or receives SONET frames containing the multimedia information; and (ii) multimedia presentation equipment suitable for displaying multimedia information, such as audio, video and data.

G16H 15/00
G10L 15/26

Abstract:

A charting system is provided for use in a healthcare facility having a network. The charting system includes a microphone to receive voice inputs from a caregiver. A vital sign monitor obtains a vital sign from a patient and displays it. The system includes a communication device having a voice-to-text module that includes a processor coupled to the microphone. The processor operates a voice-to-text algorithm that converts the vital sign into text in response to the caregiver dictating the vital sign into the microphone. The processor initiates transmission of the vital sign to an EMR computer via the network after conversion of the at least one vital sign to text.
