Abstract: A probe system includes a finger-mountable housing having a distal end and a proximal receptacle end. The proximal receptacle end defines an opening to receive a finger. The probe system also includes a probe assembly disposed on or within the finger-mountable housing and having at least a first sensor. The first sensor is positioned to measure a physical characteristic of a first tissue when the finger-mountable housing and probe assembly are inserted in a rectum of the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to automatically evaluating medical patient symptoms and, more specifically, to systems and methods for providing tailored prescriptions, multi-dimensional patient matching and symptom monitoring. In particular, a medical patient completes a questionnaire, responses to the questionnaire are correlated with information obtained from a medical knowledge resource and an integrated symptoms summary is generated based on the responses to the questionnaire and the information obtained from the medical knowledge resource. A tailored prescription is provided to the patient based on the integrated symptoms summary and physician consultation (if applicable), patients are compared to other patients according to questionnaire responses so that they can connect with each other if they chose, and patients are able to monitor symptoms over time so that they can gain insight into whether treatments are working.
