Publication number: 20220370041Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for managing one or more patients. In one implementation, an imaging window is determined based on a location of a probe. A primary image cross-section for the imaging window is identified for the imaging window. At least one image is generated along the primary image cross-section using patient data captured using the probe. The at least one image is compared to an expected image contour scaffold of the primary image cross-section. The probe is commanded to fine-tune an imaging plane based on the comparison until the at least one image matches the expected image contour scaffold of the primary image cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Guardsman Scientific, Inc.Inventor: Daniel P. Vezina

Publication number: 20160106390Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for securing a device for acquiring cardiac data points from a patient. In one implementation, the device includes a patient interface and a probe. The patient interface includes an anchor having a patient side adapted for attaching to a surface of the patient and a probe side disposed opposite the patient side. The patient interface further includes a synchronizer having a plurality of synchronization features corresponding to a plurality of imaging locations on the patient. The synchronizer is mounted to the anchor and adapted to engage the probe. A window extends through the anchor and the synchronizer. The plurality of synchronization features are positioned around the window. Each of the synchronization features includes a unique set of keys identifying one of the plurality of imaging locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: Guardsman Scientific, Inc.Inventor: Daniel P. Vezina

Publication number: 20150018689Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for acquiring circulatory system information from one or more patients. In one implementation, a device for acquiring ultrasound-generated data includes a housing, an imaging mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. The housing has an interfacing surface with an opening, and the imaging mechanism is positioned in the opening. The imaging mechanism is rotatable in a plane generally parallel to the interfacing surface and pivotal about an axis generally orthogonal to the interfacing surface. The adjustment mechanism is positioned within the housing and associated with the imaging mechanism to cause the imaging mechanism to rotate in the plane or pivot about the axis. The adjustment mechanism comprises an orientation adjuster having an orientation actuator and a direction adjuster having a direction actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2014Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: GUARDSMAN SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventor: Daniel P. Vezina
