Publication number: 20100063395Abstract: A system and method, for obtaining and analyzing vascular data and generating results, that uses vascular test data to determine the state of the vessel. The data and the determinations can be used to generate reports, render diagnoses or identifying ailments, and may do so remotely. The system includes a telemedicine server and may include a number of other modules such as work stations, review tools, data storage modules, etc. The invention allows rapid and efficient analysis of the data, and provides mechanisms for comparing patient data to know or measured normative data sets, remotely if desired, and provides more accurate and less invasive diagnoses based on vascular conditions. The invention permits remote receipt, processing and distribution of the data and diagnoses.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2008Publication date: March 11, 2010Inventors: B.

Patent number: 7604599Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for assessing blood flow in single or multiple vessels and segments, for assessing vascular health, for conducting clinical trials, for screening therapeutic interventions for effect, for assessing risk factors, for evaluating intracranial pressure and for analyzing the results in a defined manner. The invention enables direct monitoring of therapies, substances and devices on blood vessels, especially those of the cerebral vasculature. Relevant blood flow parameters include mean flow velocity, systolic acceleration, and pulsatility index. Measurement and analysis of these parameters, and others, provides details regarding the vascular health of individual and multiple vessels and a global analysis of an individual's overall vascular health. The invention is applicable as both a system and method for monitoring and improving the design, performance, marketing and use of vascular stents.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: New Health Sciences, Inc.Inventors: B.

Patent number: 6955648Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for assessing blood flow in blood vessels, for assessing vascular health, for conducting clinical trials, for screening therapeutic interventions for adverse effects, and for assessing the effects of risk factors, therapies and substances, including therapeutic substances, on blood vessels, especially cerebral blood vessels, all achieved by measuring various parameters of blood flow in one or more vessels and analyzing the results in a defined matter. The relevant parameters of blood flow include mean flow velocity, systolic acceleration, and pulsatility index. By measuring and analyzing these parameters, one can ascertain the vascular health of a particular vessel, multiple vessels and an individual. Such measurements can also determine whether a substance has an effect, either deleterious or advantageous, on vascular health. In one of many embodiments, the present invention further provides an expert system for achieving the above.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2003Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: New Health Sciences, Inc.Inventors: B.

Publication number: 20040006488Abstract: Creation and population of a database of personal health care information using subjective data, health care behavior, and medical records A particular embodiment relates to the combination of data in the form of a personal health profile from the profile subjects and third parties holding such data. Key data is extracted from the clinical medical record of the profile subject to create a first dataset that can be included in a personal health profile. The personal perceptions of clinical interactions of the profile subject with health care practitioners and medical care delivery systems is a second dataset that can be included in a personal health profile. The health care behavior outside of medical care delivery systems of the profile subject is a third dataset that can be included in a personal health profile. In a preferred embodiment, all three datasets are combined. In other embodiments, any two of the three datasets could be combined to create unique personal health profiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2001Publication date: January 8, 2004Inventors: Simon Fitall, John Davidson, Robert Mozayeni
