  • Publication number: 20240252146
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20160106390
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8348847
    Abstract: A system for managing a patient is disclosed and can include a patient interface adapted to obtain ultrasound information about the patient, a provider interface adapted to facilitate communication between the system and a provider, and a controller in communication with the patient interface and the provider interface, the controller including a clinical management module adapted to receive the ultrasound information and to recommend a clinical management strategy based upon the ultrasound information. A method of presenting a clinical management strategy is also described including obtaining information regarding a condition of a patient, developing a determinant reflecting the condition, and presenting a user with a clinical management strategy on an output device.
