Patent number: 10799105Abstract: An example system to capture digital images includes: a colposcope device configured to capture a digital image during a colposcopy procedure; and an image processing module programmed to digitally process the digital image, including: a filter module programmed to filter certain aspects of the digital image; and an overlay module programmed to allow the digital image to be annotated. In other examples, colposcope devices include: a cradle, the cradle being configured to hold a portable computing device, the cradle including an aperture; and an optical capture device, the optical capture device including a constant magnification lens system, the constant magnification lens system being configured to direct light through the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: Jon R. Salvati, Raymond A. Lia, Ervin Goldfain, Robert L. Vivenzio, Kenzi L. Mudge, David J. Maier

Patent number: 10758119Abstract: A system automatically captures a fundus image with limited user interaction such that the fundus image has one or more desired characteristics. The system can retrieve at least one image from an image capture device, process the at least one image digitally to generate a processed image, detect at least one point of interest in the processed image, determine that each of the at least one point of interest is representative of a corresponding feature of the eye, and obtain a fundus image of the eye based on the at least one image.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: Ynjiun Paul Wang, Ervin Goldfain, Raymond A. Lia, David J. Maier, Kenzi L. Mudge, Jon R. Salvati

Patent number: 10555671Abstract: A mobile patient examination system includes a carrier, a patient support, and furnishing. The patient support is height adjustable and connected to the carrier. Also, the patient support includes a display and a physiological sensor. In some instances, the carrier is sized to be transported to different locations within a facility. Alternatively, the carrier is sized to be transported to remote, rural, and/or disaster-related locations.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: WELCH ALLYN, INC.Inventors: Craig M. Meyerson, Timothy R. Fitch, David J. Maier, Scott Andrew Martin, Tyson B. Whitaker, Kirsten M. Emmons, Andrew David Clark, Frederic Bregeon, Aalok Mehta, Stephen C. Daley
