Abstract: A lightweight inflatable vest is provided with embedded listening devices. Once inflated, the vest enables a physician to hear amplified lung sounds and heart beats and rhythms of a patient wearing the vest, via connection to a smart phone application, through a patient portal, or the like. By using the device on a patient, a physician is provided with an accurate way to perform a respiratory and heart health assessment of the patient during a telehealth visit.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring edema, at home, is provided, along with a measuring pattern for use therewith. The system includes a computing system that has an imaging device, a processor, a memory, and a wireless transmitter. The computing system is configured to capture edema data of a patient and send the data to a remote doctor. The pattern can be incorporated into a flexible sheet substrate that can be placed over a portion of a patient's skin. By pressing the flexible sheet substrate into the patient, a depression is formed and the pattern is distorted. The imaging device captures an image of the depression and the distorted pattern. The computing system processes the image and determines a depth of the depression based on the distortion of the pattern.
