Abstract: A patient monitoring system includes a microphone that collects audio data from a patient. The audio data is used to generate audio characteristics for categorization of the audio data and analysis of the audio data to determine a patient health status. The audio characteristics and the patient health status are tracked over time and utilized to monitor a respiratory condition of the patient. The system determines the patient health status based on a comparison of the audio characteristics with a database of audio characteristics associated with recorded health statuses of various patients. The system generates a report of the current patient health status based on the database of audio characteristics and associated health statuses.

Abstract: A dermal imaging system coordinates operation of an illumination unit, one or more lenses, and a camera to capture a sequence of images of an area of interest on a skin surface. The system automatically tags each image in the sequence of images. The tag for each image identifies a light source, an illumination angle, and a filter selected for capturing the image. The system automatically selects at least one image from the sequence of images, and analyzes the selected image from the sequence of images to provide a recommended skin disease diagnosis.
