Abstract
The system and method of the present application includes a functional software stack including a type 1 hypervisor running on a single hardware platform. One embodiment of the hardware platform includes a processor and storage media, as well as network and video hardware. The hypervisor includes a network driver and a display driver, and executes directly on the hardware and abstracts the hardware from any guest operating systems (OS). To the OS, the hypervisor appears to be the base hardware platform and the network and display drivers appear to be similar hardware as well. The guest OS includes the resident patient monitoring application as well as third party applications, both of which execute independently on the virtualized hardware of the hypervisor. The network and display drivers manage the monitoring network and display regions in a monitoring display that are available to the guest operating systems.
