1. A portable device for transmitting medical data to a clinician computer, the portable device comprising:
a camera configured to record images;
a memory storing the recorded images;
a display interface for displaying the images; and
a processor configured to execute machine-readable instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
(i) determine a type of a medical device that is to be imaged,
(ii) use the determined type of the medical device to determine whether a message is to be displayed, and if so, display a navigation message via the display interface prompting an operator to navigate to a specified window that is displayed by a screen of the medical device,
(iii) instruct the camera to record at least one image,
(iv) extract medical data from the at least one image using an optical character recognition routine,
(v) establish a connection with the clinician computer such that the portable device is recognized by the clinician computer as a keyboard, and
(vi) transmit at least some of the extracted medical data to the clinician computer as a keyboard input to the clinician computer,
wherein the processor is configured to enable the at least some of the extracted medical data from the at least one image to be transmitted as the keyboard input to the clinician computer by enabling selection, via the display interface, of the at least some of the extracted medical data for transmission.
