Publication number: 20090240524Abstract: The present invention is directed to community based managed health kiosk and remote diagnosis systems, and more particularly to facilitating remote diagnosis of kiosk users by remotely located health care professionals through use of kiosk systems in combination with user-data screens that display real-time user health information and real-time user video to the health care professional. The remotely located health care professional is thus able to fully examine and diagnosis a patient without having to ever be on-site or even nearby.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2009Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: Computerized Screening, Inc.Inventor: Charles P. Bluth

Patent number: 6692436Abstract: A health kiosk provides blood pressure testing, a health and fitness evaluation, and a medication encyclopedia. The health kiosk typically interfaces to a computer or server, such as a pharmacy computer or a remote server which compares pharmaceuticals selected by a user to information in the medication encyclopedia to determine compatibility for prescription medications and over-the-counter medications. In some systems, the kiosk also supplies one item or more of an extended health information, a weight scale constructed into the seat of the kiosk, a directory of health care service and product providers, an a directory of community health, support, and service groups.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2000Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Computerized Screening, Inc.Inventors: Charles Bluth, James Bluth

Patent number: 6511435Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device and associated operating method utilize a measurement algorithm based on a plurality of measurements, supplying a unique ability to increase diagnostic and analytical success in detection. In an illustrative implementation, three measurement techniques are used in combination to improve overall measurement accuracy. A first of the three techniques is an ascultatory technique. A sound measurement acquired from a microphone located in the measurement cuff detects start and end Korotkoff sounds using a combination of filters. The auscultatory technique is a conventional method that is recommended by the American Heart Association and is similar to manual techniques used by a nurse or technician. The auscultatory technique and associated filtering techniques are well known by those having ordinary skill in the art. A second technique is an oscillometric technique that is commonly found in many low-cost blood pressure measurement devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Computerized Screening, Inc.Inventors: Charles Bluth, James Bluth

Patent number: 6428124Abstract: A health care test kiosk includes a carrel body that supports a console housing and has a vacant knee-space beneath the console housing. The carrel body includes a support side panel forming a lateral side and extending beyond the console housing and the knee-space. A physiological test interface is connected to and supported by the carrel body on the support side panel. A retractable seat is movably connected to the support side panel of the carrel body for selective positioning in a location ranging from withdrawn into the knee-space beneath the console housing to extended completely from the knee-space.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Computerized Screening, Inc.Inventors: Charles Bluth, James Bluth, Raymond G. Bryan, Jim C. Lovell

Patent number: 6403897Abstract: A health care test kiosk includes a carrel body, a controller, a physiological test interface, a seat, and a weight scale. The carrel body supports a console housing and includes a support side panel forming a lateral side and extending beyond the console housing. The controller is housed within the console housing and includes a display and user interface. The physiological test interface is coupled to and supported by the carrel body on the support side panel. The physiological test interface is communicatively coupled to the controller for supplying physiological information to the controller for analysis and display. The seat is coupled to the support side panel of the carrel body. The weight scale is coupled to and supported by the seat. The weight scale is communicatively coupled to the controller for supplying weight information to the controller for analysis and display in combination with the physiological data.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Computerized Screening, Inc.Inventors: Charles Bluth, James Bluth, Raymond G.
