Abstract:

A system and method for augmenting presentation of patient-related medical information is provided. In one example, the medical information is displayed on a display according to predetermined formal display characteristics. A signal transmitter is operable by a caregiver to propagate a remote control signal when the caregiver desires to augment at least one of the predetermined formal display characteristics of the medical information. A receiver receives the remote control signal and control means are coupled to the receiver and control the display to augment the formal display characteristics of the medical information and thereby enhance the caregivers ability to view the medical information.
