Tablet-to-tablet video overcomes ICU connectivity limitations. Inset shows iPad mounted on rolling stand to capture monitor data for Bed B. iPad at nurse’s station displays vital signs with audio and visual alarms from Bed B. ICU rooms are designed for only 1 bed, therefore there are no network jacks for data from the second bed, and nurses at the nursing station cannot see or hear alarms from second bed. Tablet-to-tablet connection over wi-fi cleverly overcomes this technical limitation and can monitor 4 or more rooms simultaneously.
