Abstract: Disclosed is a system for communicating information relating to the utilization of drugs, tests and devices to diagnose and treat disease which comprises a user interface, a data processor, a hard drive, a modem, a first module for screening clinical and laboratory data relating to a patient to rank a drug, test, and/or device used by a user. The system further comprises a second module for notifying a user of a patient's response to that employed in said first module and a third module for re-evaluating a patient's response to the drug, test, and/or device, employed in the first module. Additionally, a fourth module can automatically select a relevant database related to the use of the drug, test, and/or device, and for ranking a patient's response to the third module; and a fifth module for collecting and storing a patient's data from the first, second, third and fourth modules.

Abstract: A method and device for accreditation of a user on an imaging device is described. The method and device can also be used for providing electronic hands-on continuing medical education credits/hours based on proficiency in generating high-quality images. In addition, other medical imaging devices, such as an ultrasound system—in which image quality is dependent on the user professional's ability—can be upgraded using the disclosed methods and devices, thereby allowing the system to automatically freeze an image if it is best-quality rated. Finally, the disclosed invention provides an analysis of accreditation at the enterprise level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a time-oriented artificial intelligence system to handle any diagnostic screening or treatment of complications or risks throughout pregnancy. A user can insert a problem or query relating to clinical case management during a pregnancy and receive case oriented output guiding the management of the case via at least one algorithm.

Abstract: A system for improving the quality of medical images depicts a list of sub-optimal image situations. For each sub-optimal image situation, a list of at least one possible reason for the sub-optimal image situation is provided, sorted by the probability. For each reason in the list, a list of at least one remedy for said reason is provided. By navigating these lists, an inexperienced user of an item of imaging equipment is guided to obtain an optimal quality image.

Abstract: A feto-maternal calendar calculator (10) provides for calculating the gestational age of a fetus from the calendar date of the mother's last menstrual cycle. Using the calculated gestational age, the user of the calendar calcalator may determine appropriate growth of fetal organs, determine the earliest time for detection of fetal anomalies, establish periods of risk to the fetus from drugs used by the mother, determine the appropriate times for testing for fetal anomalies, genetic abnormalities, or other fetal biochemical milestones. The calendar calculator of the present invention is designed for ease of use and for providing information previously unavailable to obstetricians and diagnostic technicians.

Abstract: An adjunct device and system which works in tandem with existing diagnostic imaging tools such as for medical diagnosis to enhance reliability of diagnosis with guidance for appropriate treatment or imaging devices for machinery (or other objects) and guidance for repair. The adjunct device initially analyzes an input image and either automatically or semi-automatically (with input from a grid of organ and anomalies) provides matching images for adjacent viewing and comparison. Where relevant, the device provides weighted possible diagnoses with advisory pathways for treatment or additional testing. The device and system include computer elements with stored medical data appropriate to the diagnostic tool being used and the body part(s) or objects, being diagnosed to provide the appropriate comparative image.
