Patent ID: 8572610

Claim:
A patient monitoring application for safe operation with a third party application, the system comprising: a hardware platform; a hypervisor configured on the hardware platform, the hypervisor including a network driver and a display driver; and a plurality of guest operating systems, wherein each of the plurality of guest operating systems communicates independently of the remaining plurality of guest operating systems with the network driver and the display driver such that each of the plurality of guest operating systems operates separately from the remaining plurality of guest operating systems with the patient monitoring system, wherein the plurality of guest operating system includes a secured operating system, wherein the secure operating system implements a patient monitoring application, wherein the patient monitoring application is displayed in a patient monitoring application display area of a monitor display unit, and further wherein the plurality of guest operating systems includes a third party operating system, wherein the third party operating system implements the third party application, wherein the third party application is displayed in a third party parameter display area of the monitor display unit simultaneously with the patient monitoring application, wherein the patient monitoring application provides instruction to the network driver with respect to network parameter requirement of the patient monitoring application and based on the instruction the network driver provides a known parameter feed to the patient monitoring application that is currently understood by the patient monitoring application and also provides a separate parameter subset feed to the third party application that is not recognized by the patient monitoring application, wherein each of the patient monitoring application and the third party application communicates independently with the network driver and the display driver.
