Mario Brothers EEG/EKG

In the world of bioinformatics, experts are always looking for more efficient ways to present large amounts of realtime data to doctors. For surgeons, it is especially important, and so they often rely on other doctors to keep an eye on the data as it comes in. And since many of the up and coming surgeons gained hand/eye coordination through childhood videogames, I propose a system that aggregates the data into a sort of gestalt vital sign condition, and plays the Super Mario Brothers (1) song in accordance. The cadence would be set by the heartbeat of the patient, and if disaster strikes, like say a bleeder, the "high speed, running out of time" version of the song plays. Likewise, each phase of the operation could be given a different song - the "underground" theme could be used for serious invasive work, the "cloud" theme could be used when the patient is semi-conscious (as is the case with some neurosurgery). Also, when an injection of painkiller or adrenaline is administered, the "invincible" theme plays for a bit. Med students could watch and listen for songs as they learn about the procedures, as in "Uh oh, he severed that femoral artery. Here comes the fast music..." This system would allow doctors to get an overview of patient health, and it would serve to liven up what might be an otherwise morose and serious operating theater. For added fun, you could pump the music live into the waiting room, so the family has a pretty good idea of how the surgery is progressing.
