  • Publication number: 20140180111
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for remote medical diagnosis includes using at least one wearable ultrasonic imaging device, more specifically an ultrasonic glove-like apparatus or ultrasonic array containment, for forming three dimensional scanned diagnostic images, transmitting the images to a remote location, and locally or remotely controlling the operation of the ultrasonic imaging.

  • Publication number: 20080106352
    Abstract: The invention is an electromagnetic wave or “EM” coupler for successfully connecting EM waves between an EM generator output and a conductive pathway or “c-pathway” that is not normally considered as an EM transmission medium or line. The coupler includes a dual surface shell-like structure with an electrically conductive outer surface that is insulated from an electrically conductive inner surface that is attached at a specified location along a c-pathway. The forward end of the inside surface of the coupler is attached to the c-pathway while the outside surface of the forward end of the coupler is left unconnected and open. To provide a successful EM connection between the coupler and the c-pathway, the physical size of the coupler is configured as a physically shaped component with a relationship to the c-pathway itself rather than to the particular EM wave required to make such connectivity.

  • Publication number: 20050075541
    Abstract: A system (10) for collecting a plurality of diagnostic information and transmitting the diagnostic information to a remote location. The system (10) comprises a glove member (12) adaptable to be worn on a person's hand and an interface unit (20) in electrical communication with the glove member (12). The interface unit (20) is capable of transmitting information to, and receiving information from, a remote location. The glove member (12) comprises a palm portion (1), a wrist portion (3) and five phalange portions (5-13). The glove member (12) further comprises an EKG diagnostic device, a blood pressure and pulse rate diagnostic device (54) and a temperature device (64). The glove member (12) may also further comprise a % O2 diagnostic device (70) and an auscultation device (80).
