20090006419 | System and Method for Personalized Health Information Delivery - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for providing mobile handheld (e.g., mobile phones, handheld computers) device users the ability to access personalized health information from a variety of locations. A computerized mobile handheld device, customized software programming, and broadband transmission of information using the Internet and wireless networks is provided. System users are provided access to highly relevant healthcare topics for their personal review with minimal searching effort. The user iteratively responds to a series of prompts by clicking, using voice recognition, or telemetric data input technology to register his or her response. The user's responses are linked to a series of health information topics, which appear on the user interface. This series of healthcare topics provide the user information on the respective health issue. The series of healthcare topics are rearranged in order of most relevant to least relevant based on the user's data inputs. | 01-01-2009 |
20120237102 | System and Method for Improving Acquired Ultrasound-Image Review - A system for creating 3D ultrasound case volumes from 2D scans and aligning the ultrasound case volumes with a virtual representation of a body to create an adapted virtual body that is scaled and accurately reflects the morphology of a particular patient. The system improves a radiologist's or treating physician's ability to examine and interact with a patient's complete ultrasound case volume independent of the patient, the type of ultrasound machine used to acquire the original data, and the original scanning session. | 09-20-2012 |
20120237913 | Multimodal Ultrasound Training System - An ultrasound training system having a data capture module, a digital asset management module, a validation module, didactic content, a media asset production module, an integration layer, an internet-based portal, a software client, and a peripheral probe. The combination of the disclosed elements creates a system that enables the creation and delivery of high-quality ultrasound education and training in a low-cost, widely deployable, and scalable manner, with a facilitated method for processing orders and financial transactions between customers and content providers. | 09-20-2012 |
20120238875 | Embedded Motion Sensing Technology for Integration within Commercial Ultrasound Probes - An ultrasound system including an ultrasound machine and an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound probe includes an ultrasound transducer, ultrasound circuitry, a six degree of freedom (6-DOF) sensor, and a probe housing. The probe housing encases the ultrasound transducer and the 6-DOF sensor. By embedding motion-sensing technology directly within the housing of the ultrasound transducer, the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe can be tracked in an automated manner in relation to an indicator mark on the ultrasound screen. This allows assisting technologies to mitigate human error that arises from misalignment of the transducer indicator. | 09-20-2012 |
20120251991 | Peripheral Probe with Six Degrees of Freedom Plus Compressive Force Feedback - An enhanced six degree of freedom spatial inertial measuring device capable of measuring translational movement along three orthogonal axes and rotational movement about the same, and in addition, being capable of measuring compression along at least one orthogonal axis. The device serves to provide adequate control for software applications where inertial tracking and compressive force feedback along at least one axis is desired. A probe, which accurately simulates ultrasound imaging, and therefore functions as a teaching tool is one such application. | 10-04-2012 |
20140170620 | System and Method for Teaching Basic Ultrasound Skills - A system and method that improves the speed and efficiency through which ultrasound practitioners acquire and develop essential basic ultrasound skills in a simulated environment without the need of actual patients or subjects. The system utilizes a simulator with an input device that manipulate a virtual transducer probe in a simulated 3D space to cut a slice through a basic shape. A 2D section of the cut plane is also displayed so that the practitioner can learn to relate 2D section with their 3D objects cut in cross-section. | 06-19-2014 |
20150084897 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FIVE PLUS ONE DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM (DOF) MOTION TRACKING AND VISUALIZATION - A method for manipulating a remote device with a hand-held device having one or more first sensors to detect angular orientation of the device in one or more planes, and at least one two-dimensional surface device having one or more second sensors to detect translational position of the hand-held device in one or more directions, which communicates the angular orientation data from the hand-held device and the translational position data from the at least one surface device to the remote device, and positions the remote device based on the angular orientation data from the hand-held device and the translational position data from the at least one surface device. | 03-26-2015 |
20150086956 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CO-REGISTRATION AND NAVIGATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND AND ALTERNATIVE RADIOGRAPHIC DATA SETS - A co-registration and navigations system in which 3D and/or 2D ultrasound images are displayed alongside virtual images of a patient and/or CT or MRI scans, or other similar imaging techniques used in the medical field. | 03-26-2015 |
