The present invention relates to providing support during an activity in a medical facility. In order to provide for further improved support during activities in a medical facility, a device (10) for visualizing an indication of a location by a user in a medical facility is provided. The device comprises a data input (12), a data processor (14) and an output interface (16). The data input is configured: to provide data (18) representing a user activity of indicating a location within a medical facility; and to provide data (20) relating to a current context within the medical facility. The data processor is configured: to detect a user activity of indicating a location within a medical facility; to identify the location within the medical facility which the user is indicating; and to activate a generation of an indicator for highlighting the identified location based on the current context within the medical facility. The output interface is configured to provide the indicator (22) for highlighting the location in order to visualize the location which is indicated by the user for at least one further user.
