Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided in which noise or artifacts generated by motion of a probe are attenuated in acquired physiological data, such as auscultation or ultrasound data. One such method includes acquiring physiological data of a patient by a handheld device. Motion of the handheld device is sensed, and a determination is made as to whether the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds a motion threshold. The method further includes generating conditioned physiological data of the patient by attenuating a portion of the acquired physiological data in response to determining that the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds the motion threshold.

Abstract: A clinical data acquisition system includes a probe and a mobile clinical viewing device communicatively coupleable to the probe. The probe includes at least one sensor that acquires physiological data of a patient. The mobile clinical viewing device includes a frame, a display, and a handle. The display is secured to a first side of the frame. The handle is secured to a second side of the frame. The handle includes a plurality of user input elements, and a user may control one or more operations of the mobile clinical viewing device by providing input via the user input elements on the handle. This allows a user to comfortably hold the mobile clinical viewing device and to control operations of the device in one hand, while the other hand is free to perform other operations such as holding the probe during examination of the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling parameters associated with ultrasound images displayed on a computing device, based on sensed motion of the computing device, are provided herein. One such system includes an ultrasound probe and a computing device coupled to the ultrasound probe and operable to receive ultrasound signals from the ultrasound probe. The computing device includes a motion sensor that senses motion of the computing device, a display that displays ultrasound images associated with the ultrasound signals received from the ultrasound probe, and an image display controller that controls at least one parameter associated with the displayed ultrasound images based on the sensed motion.
