Abstract:
A medical diagnosis support system, the medical diagnosis support system comprising a processing resource configured to: obtain medical data acquired from a body of a patient at a given time using a medical data acquisition device; identify and retrieve residual information associated with at least one of: (i) a first location of the patient at the given time, or (ii) at one or more second locations of the patient at one or more corresponding second times earlier than the given time; and display the medical data and the residual information to a medical practitioner, thereby enabling the medical practitioner to provide a diagnosis of a medical condition of the patient.
Abstract:
An otoscope, comprising: (a) a flexible speculum, operable to be inserted into an ear canal; (b) a stopper, coupled to the flexible speculum, operable to limit penetration depth of the flexible speculum into the ear canal; and (c) an imaging sensor, located inside the flexible speculum, operable to capture an image of an eardrum of the ear canal; wherein a flexibility of the flexible speculum allows alignment of the imaging sensor according to a shape of the ear canal.
Abstract:
A portable handheld system for imaging of a throat of a patient, including: a mouthpiece including at least one bite guide for stabilizing the mouthpiece with respect to teeth of the patient when the patient bites on the at least one bite guide; intraoral optics operable to collect light from the throat of the patient and to direct the light towards an imaging sensor; and an imaging sensor operable to capture light directed by the intraoral optics to provide an image of the throat; wherein a mechanical connection between the mouthpiece and the intraoral optics constrains a spatial relationship of the intraoral optics with respect to the mouthpiece so that when the patient bites on the at least one bite guide: the intraoral optics is stabilized by the mouthpiece inside a mouth of the patient having a FOV which includes at least part of a tonsil of the patient.
Abstract:
An apparatus for inspection within cavities includes a thimble having a camera and a receptacle for engaging with a distal end of a selected finger of a user, so that the camera can be positioned and oriented by the user within the cavity. The apparatus is useful, for example, for throat examination of babies or children.
Abstract:
A system comprising a processor configured to: obtain physiological data acquired during a medical examination of a patient's body, the medical examination being conducted by a user using a sensor, wherein the user is not a medical practitioner; analyze the obtained physiological data to determine presence of diagnosis-enabling data, wherein the diagnosis-enabling data enables a diagnosing entity to later diagnose a medical condition of the patient; and provide at least the diagnosis-enabling data, if present, to the diagnosing entity, thereby enabling the diagnosing entity to diagnose the medical condition of the patient.
Abstract:
A system for measuring physiological parameters, including: a portable measurement system, operable to acquire physiological measurement from an examined body location; an external camera operable to capture visible light, oriented toward the examined body location; a synchronization module, operable to receive a triggering indication, and in response to the triggering indication to associate to the physiological measurement a positioning image captured by the camera, the positioning image including at least a part of the portable measurement system adjacent to the examined body location; and a communication module operable to obtain the physiological measurement and the positioning image, and to transmit to a remote system: a physiological measurement record based on the physiological measurement, an orientation image based on the positioning image, and including at least a part of the portable measurement system adjacent to the examined body location, and association data associating the orientation image and the physiological measurement record.
Abstract:
A user moves a handheld inspection device toward a skin region that includes a target skin lesion. A current image of the skin region or part thereof that includes the target skin lesion as currently taken by the handheld inspection device is displayed on a screen, with the target skin lesion marked. When reaching a close distance from the target skin lesion, a close-up inspection is performed. If the target skin lesion is missing in the current image, the close-up inspection process is interrupted, and the user is instructed to move the handheld inspection device to a remote distance from the skin region for restarting the inspection process.
Abstract:
A medical data acquisition device comprising a processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to: operate a camera to acquire at least one image during a process for collecting a sample by a tip of a swab making contact with a required contact area on, or within, a body of a patient; analyze the image to determine one or more parameters, the parameters including at least one of (a) a position of the swab with respect to the required contact area, or (b) an orientation of the swab with respect to the required contact area; and perform at least one action based on comparison of the one or more parameters with a positioning criterion.
Abstract:
An Infra-Red (IR) thermometer with a built-in self-test, the IR thermometer comprising: an IR sensor configured to determine a temperature of an object based on thermal radiation emittance from the object; a thermal radiation generation source capable of emitting known thermal radiation upon receiving an instruction; obtaining at least one temperature measurement from the IR sensor after a time period required for the thermal radiation generation source to emit the known thermal radiation; and upon the temperature measurement deviating above a threshold from the expected temperature, generating a failure indication of failure of the built-in self-test or upon the temperature measurement deviating below the threshold from the expected temperature, generate a success indication of success of the built-in self-test.
Abstract:
A system for performing one or more remote medical examinations of a patient, the system comprising a display and at least one processing resource configured to perform the following for at least one remote medical examination of the remote medical examinations: receive, during the remote medical examination, from a remote medical data acquisition device, first data generated from medical data acquired by a sensor from a body of the patient, the first data having a first quality measure; receive second data generated from the medical data, the second data having a second quality measure, higher than the first quality measure; display the first data on the display during the remote medical examination, to a medical practitioner, thereby enabling the medical practitioner to provide the navigation or placement instructions; and upon receiving a high-quality data request from the medical practitioner, display the second data on the display, to the medical practitioner.
