Abstract: The present invention relates to a telemedicine stethoscope device that facilitates remote medical consultations by enabling the transmission of bodily sounds from a patient to a healthcare provider through an electronic device. The device consists of a skin contact element designed to establish a secure interface with the patient's skin, a walled structure that connects the skin contact element to a base, and a detachable coupling mechanism incorporated into the base for removably attaching the device to an electronic device. A diaphragm membrane, made of a flexible material and positioned orthogonally within the path between two openings, forms a sound chamber with the hollow space to effectively transmit sound vibrations from the patient's skin through the device to the microphone of the electronic device.

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein pertains to a support device specifically designed to aid in the imaging of the oral and throat regions. This device is characterized by the integration of a tongue depressor and a supporting body. The tongue depressor possesses a flat body with a rounded distal end and an opposite proximal end. The supporting body is distinguished by a rear surface that is capable of detachable coupling with an image capture device, alongside an opposing front surface designed to securely attach to the proximal end of the tongue depressor. The configuration ensures that the tongue depressor is maintained in an orientation perpendicular to the image plane of any attached image capture device.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a support device designed to enhance the quality of close-up photography. The device features a hollow body with one or more side walls that extend between a top portion and a base portion, defining an interior space. The top portion of the device is equipped with a structure configured to securely hold an image capture device, such as a smartphone or camera, in a fixed orientation. This orientation aligns the camera lens of the image capture device with a first viewing opening at the top portion, directing it towards a second viewing opening at the base portion. The second viewing opening is surrounded by a bottom edge of the base portion and is positioned at a predetermined distance from the first viewing opening, establishing a fixed field of view for the image capture device.

Abstract: The invention discloses an otoscope device attachment intended for use with image capture devices featuring illumination capabilities. This device attachment comprises a connecting component and a speculum. The connecting component is designed to detachably secure to a user device, featuring a planar body with a first side equipped with means for attachment to the user device and an opposing second side. A central aperture is formed within the planar body of the connecting component to expose the camera of the user device. The speculum, characterized by an elongated body with an outer and an inner surface, defines a straight tunnel extending from its proximal end, which forms a base to detachably couple to the second side of the connecting component, to its distal end, forming a tip. Positioned along the length of the straight tunnel within the speculum are one or more lenses.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a device, system, and related methods for providing visual assistance to the placement of an endoscopic device acts as a cover for protecting both the probe and tube body of an endoscopic device form bacterial biofilm build-up during use. The device comprises a flexible sleeve, the sleeve being at least partially elastic, which is fitted over and encloses the tip of an endoscopic device such as a TEE probe, with the only opening in the sleeve tip being placed to expose the sensor apparatus of the probe. The tip of the sleeve comprises an image capture device which is coupled, via a wired connection that runs through the sleeve, to a control unit having a transceiver, such that captured image data can be transmitted to external devices, or an integrated display device, in real-time, without the transmission being obstructed by the patient’s body. The design of the sleeve also allows it to be used as a conduit for various other transmissions such as fluid and fibre optics.
