  • Patent number: 8036917
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for hanging protocol generation using eye tracking and/or voice command and control. Certain embodiments provide a method for creating a hanging protocol based on at least one of eye tracking and voice command and control input in a clinical environment. The method includes specifying a hanging protocol specification using input including at least one of eye tracking and voice command and control. The method also includes translating the input into a hanging protocol. The method further includes facilitating display of clinical information based on the hanging protocol.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7694240
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for hanging protocol generation using gesture recognition. Certain embodiments provide a method for creating a hanging protocol based on gesture input in a clinical environment. The method includes specifying a hanging protocol specification using gesture-based input. The method also includes translating the gesture-based input into a hanging protocol. The method further includes facilitating display of clinical information based on the hanging protocol. Certain embodiments provide a gesture detection system. The system includes a sensor surface configured to detect gesture-based input made on the sensor surface. The gesture-based input specifies a hanging protocol layout. The system also includes a processor configured to identify the gesture-based input and translate the gesture to a corresponding hanging protocol definition for display of image and clinical data.

  • Publication number: 20080114614
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for clinical workflow using gesture recognition. Certain embodiments provide a method for gesture-based interaction in a clinical environment. The method includes detecting a gesture made on a sensor surface. The method also includes determining a pressure applied to make the gesture. The method further includes mapping the gesture and the pressure to a healthcare application function. The pressure modifies the healthcare application function corresponding to the gesture. Certain embodiments provide a gesture detection system including a sensor surface configured to detect a gesture made. The system further includes a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure applied when making the gesture on the sensor surface. The system also includes a processor configured to identify the gesture and translate the gesture to a healthcare application function.

  • Publication number: 20080114615
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for improved clinical workflow using gesture recognition. Certain embodiments provide a method for gesture-based interaction in a clinical environment. The method includes detecting a gesture in a thin-air display space. The method also includes identifying the detected gesture. The method further includes translating the identified gesture to a corresponding healthcare application function. Certain embodiments provide a gesture detection system. The system includes a thin-air display space defined by at least one sensor configured to detect a gesture performed in the thin-air display space. The system also includes a processor configured to identify the gesture and translate the gesture to a corresponding healthcare application function.
