Leonid Notkin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11651706
    Abstract: Airway management virtual reality (VR) training systems and methods are provided, which use relatively simple and passive physical patient models to train users in performing airway management procedures. Patient models may include a respiratory tract, a moveable head and an openable jaw, which are anatomically realistic; and electromagnetic sensors that measure the movements of parts of the physical model and movement of tools used to handle the model. The parameters of the medical procedure being performed are sensed, tracked and displayed, providing the trainee with a continuous, detailed and coherent VR representation of the training situation in a realistic scene, utilizing and modifying a sensors' hierarchy to focus the VR representation on key features of the training and to yield interactivity of the VR patient and assessment of the trainee's performance.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220343799
    Abstract: A medical simulation system and method comprising a casing device having at least one opening and comprising at least three selectable working stations wherein at least one working station comprising a router; at least one operational tool comprising at least two packed tools capable of bursting out of said operational tool; and at least one sensor, wherein the at least one operational tool or at least one burst out packed tool is configured to be inserted into the at least one opening and through at least one working station; wherein the at least one operational tool or at least one burst out packed tool is configured to pass through and be diverged by the router; and wherein a controller is configured to receive data from the at least one sensor and generate an output representing the said tools' bearings within the casing device as part of simulating a medical procedure.
