  • Publication number: 20110188716
    Abstract: An intravaginal monitoring device and its supporting network infrastructure; wherein the intravaginal monitoring device generates scaling and dimensioning, using infrared, ultraviolet or laser signals, in conjunction with a supporting software at the server and/or client sides. The scaling and dimensioning are performed using one or more of many possible algorithmic and hardware based techniques. Reproductive health care management web pages or system interfaces present scaling and dimensioning and emphasis changes over time. The generations scaling and dimensioning, including color and shade variation identifications, incorporate various schemes for a woman's cervix during routine checkup, cervix and aperture openings during pregnancy checkup, and cervix containing an artifact during checkup and treatments. The artifact may represent, for example, stages of ovulation, pregnancy, infections, sexually transmitted diseases and cancer.

  • Publication number: 20110190580
    Abstract: An intravaginal monitoring device in a supporting network, and including supporting devices such as servers, computing devices and phone (of both medical staff and patients), together participate to collect, exchange and display data relating to a female reproductive system. Therein, and within one or many of such systems, analysis operations are performed to at least assist in reaching conclusions relating to a status of the reproductive system under service. As input to the analysis operations, one or more of, for example, (i) current and historical sensor data of varying types such as imager, temperature, pH, glucose, EKG, etc.; (ii) general medical information; (iii) patient and medical staff input; and (iv) input from other medical systems or processes. The output of analysis operations at least assists in the drawing of intermediate and final status conclusions.

  • Publication number: 20110190581
    Abstract: An intravaginal monitoring device supporting network infrastructure, including a smart phone with applications supporting female's healthcare diagnostics. The intravaginal monitoring device communicates via a communication interface to local external devices. The intravaginal monitoring device also communicates with external (central) support servers, smart phones, healthcare professional's supporting systems and devices, research and development systems and devices, pharmaceutical computing systems and devices via wired and/or wireless network pathways. The data flows from the intravaginal monitoring device, to a remote device, e.g. smart phone, and includes image (or sensor) data collected within a memory (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20110190689
    Abstract: An intravaginal treatment device (ITD) provides therapeutic light and fluid treatments. Vision systems throughout supporting networks and devices allow for directed control of the treatment processes. The ITD uses illumination to gather various types of imager data that is used to identify and conditions, monitor the treatment process, and evaluate treatment efficacy. Specific frequency light emissions and associated fluids are used to reduce overabundant flora, at least assist in elimination of fungal, viral and bacterial invaders, and enhance the detection process. Several configurations and sizes of ITDs with light and fluid therapy, also have a built in optics assembly (camera, light sources, etc.) for capturing intravaginal still images and video of vaginal channels, cervix, cervical channels, uterus and fallopian tubes. Some ITD configurations are also wearable and include full fluid delivery infrastructure unlike some other ITDs with external components.
