  • Patent number: 7780595
    Abstract: A method and system for computerized medical diagnostics is disclosed. Beginning with interacting with a patient or a healthcare professional via a diagnostic module to obtain patient health items, the system automatically obtains an initial differential diagnosis and multiple strategy differential diagnoses based on the patient health items. In one embodiment, each strategy differential diagnosis is obtained with different analysis criteria of the patient health items. At least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses are compared and a panel differential diagnosis based on the compared differential diagnoses is determined. The initial diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis to the patient or the healthcare professional.

  • Patent number: 7771351
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a characteristic of an associated in vivo sensor within a living body. A transmit coil produces an excitation signal, having a first orientation, to excite the in vivo sensor to produce a response signal. A receive coil produces a current in response to the response signal. The receive coil is oriented to interact with signals having a second orientation that is substantially orthogonal to first orientation. The probe further comprises at least one eddy current compensation coil that produces a compensation field. A component of the compensation field along the second orientation has a magnitude at the receive coil substantially equal and opposite to a magnitude of a similarly oriented component of a magnetic field associated with eddy currents induced within the body.
