What will the future of medical displays and monitoring look like? Here are predic- tions shared. “We believe that contact-free continuous


monitoring is going to be ubiquitous in patient monitoring. With connectivity in a constant state of evolution, we can expect new developments, like monitoring devices being equipped with cloud access capabili- ties, which would allow for tighter moni- toring of patients in almost any location.” Tim O’Malley, EarlySense


“The future of medical displays will be


driven by the advancements of image-gen- erating devices. Next generation 8K video is on the horizon but may not find a stable place in the OR until there are cameras with high enough resolution to make use of it, let alone availability of infrastructure support. Until then, their place likely will be limited to video walls where multiple 4K images are displayed on a single monitor.” Brian Schlueter,


FSN Medical Technologies “The next step is to route video data


from all areas of the hospital and store it for easy retrieval at any time to any location. Hospitals also are looking for solutions employing the ease of a standard IP network connector enabling nurses to prep rooms quickly, without having to reconnect equipment, greatly improving turnover. Furthermore, to enhance the learning experience, smart apps such as telestration and annotation displayed on medical monitors will give much needed guidance to medical students.” Anne Bondulich, Sony Electronics


“As the industry looks to the future,


there is much to consider in facility de- sign, access, comfort, workflow and the caregiver-patient relationship. Connectiv- ity is paramount at the point of care. A fully connected digital ecosystem where point-of-care processes, equipment and caregivers are integrated will help enhance the care delivery experience.” Brian Hazelwood, Midmark


“The next generation of monitors will not only need more artificial intelligence but also remote monitoring capabili- ties. Having that data readily accessible, anywhere, maximizes the use of technol- ogy to help physicians make proactive treatment decisions.” Katie Szyman, Edward Lifesciences

whether a desktop, laptop or tablet-based technology component is used. ully adustable monitor arms enable monitors to easily be positioned for sitting and standing postures, eliminating neck and eye strain. ual monitor mounts also are available to support software needs.1 hese types of workstations also are essential in surgical settings and proce- dures. lympus, for eample, announced in a press release, the introduction of two new products designed to enhance patient care in endoscopy and surgical imaging by improving procedural work- ow the - high-definition printer and the -3 workstation.


The company continued, “The OEP-6 high-definition printer accurately repro- duces  images to produce high- definition prints with ecellent uality for endoscopist use during patient or colleague consults as well as detailed record keep- ing. he -3 workstation has been designed to specially support and add value to current and future imaging systems. It features an increased loading capacity, while taking up less oor space and sup- porting an epanded range of accessories.


Trending technology edical display and monitoring technol- ogy continuously adapts to fulfill the many needs in care. or eample,  usiness olutions focuses on the growth of its surgical and radiology monitors as well as -ray imag- ing, Impellizeri eplained. he antimicrobial additive used in  medical monitors is especially important given the multitude of challenges in achieving and maintaining the adeuate cleanliness reuired of healthcare facili- ties. In addition to medical monitors,  also is committed to image acuisition with our igital -ay etectors. dvancements in imaging resolution


is another key concentration, ondulich indicated. ne of the biggest trends in imaging is


the transition from  to  resolution, which has greatly improved visualization for medical professionals during surgery and post-procedure.  3 monitors can be paired with obotic systems, to offer increased immersivity and depth of field, and igh ynamic ange , to deliver dramatic contrast with more brightness, accurate shadow detail, and deeper blacks. n additional focus is integration of


artificial intelligence in monitoring and data collection, zyman said. rtificial Intelligence is a significant development in displays and monitors, enabling the monitor to not only provide information about how the patient is doing now, but also to provide predic- tive information about how the patient will be doing in the future. or eample, we recently introduced our ypotension rediction Inde that can predict when a patient will have a dangerously low blood pressure event before it happens. HPN
