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.

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.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for acquiring circulatory system information from one or more patients. In one implementation, a device for acquiring ultrasound-generated data includes a housing, an imaging mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. The housing has an interfacing surface with an opening, and the imaging mechanism is positioned in the opening. The imaging mechanism is rotatable in a plane generally parallel to the interfacing surface and pivotal about an axis generally orthogonal to the interfacing surface. The adjustment mechanism is positioned within the housing and associated with the imaging mechanism to cause the imaging mechanism to rotate in the plane or pivot about the axis. The adjustment mechanism comprises an orientation adjuster having an orientation actuator and a direction adjuster having a direction actuator.

Abstract: A device for acquiring ultrasound-generated data from a patient including a securing system and a probe configured for connection to the securing system, the probe including a base having an interfacing surface, an imaging mechanism adjustable relative to the base and configured to send and receive ultrasound signals along an imaging direction, and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the imaging mechanism relative to the base thereby adjusting the imaging direction.

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.
