1. A contactless physiological monitor, comprising:
one or more contactless input devices capable of obtaining audio or gesture data from a user;
a processor configured to receive input data from one or more sensors configured to measure one or more physiological parameters of a patient;
a display; and
a memory comprising instructions to direct the processor to:
obtain contactless inputs from the user via the contactless input device, wherein the contactless inputs comprise a first contactless input in the form of a triggering input followed by a second contactless input in the form of a command input, wherein the triggering input indicates that the second contactless input is the command input, and the command input provides a desired action to be performed by the display regarding input data received from the one or more sensors;
process the first contactless input and determine that it is a triggering input;
upon determining that the first contactless input is a triggering input, process the second contactless input into a command input;
direct the processor to perform depth measurement on captured gesture-based input from the user;
determine, using the depth measurement, that a proximity of the user to the display is beyond a threshold proximity;
determine, based on the proximity being beyond the threshold proximity, that the display should operate in a first display mode configured to display cardiac metrics of a patient when a practitioner is performing a procedure;
determine, based on the proximity being within the threshold proximity, that the display should operate in a second display mode configured to display a results summary relevant before or after a procedure; and
control the display to display, in the first display mode, the cardiac metrics based on the input data from the one or more sensors and based on the command input.
