1. A method of providing access to an ultrasound image feed generated at an ultrasound imaging machine, the method comprises:
allowing a multi-use display device to operate as both a controlling device and a receiving device:
at the multi-use device, forming, by a first application having a first user interface, a connection with the ultrasound image machine, the connection being for the multi-use display device to operate as a controlling device, wherein the first application receives login credentials prior to forming the connection with the ultrasound imaging machine:
at the multi-use device, transmitting commands that enable a second application having a second user interface, to operate as a receiving device, wherein the second application is different from the first application and the second user interface is different from the first user interface, and wherein the second application has access to and receives the ultrasound image feed and the second application manipulates how the ultrasound image feed can be viewed, to form a manipulated ultrasound image; and
at the multi-use device, displaying at least one of the ultrasound image feed and the manipulated ultrasound image.
