Telemedicine device for capturing patient data and initiating communication sessions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12010458B2) describes a device that includes a display device capable of rendering a program and streaming data for a communication session received from a data processing system. The device is designed to capture image data of physical entities, along with acoustic and motion data, to detect events associated with these data inputs. Based on this information, the device can determine the health status of a patient and identify the type of medical service required. It can then authorize the establishment of a communication session with a medical service provider, interrupt the program being displayed on the screen, and transmit relevant data to the provider's client device.
Furthermore, the device may include additional features such as a microphone, speaker device, camera, and biometric sensors to enhance its functionality. The communication session with the data processing system is established wirelessly, and the device can sense biometric data like blood pressure, heart status, or electrocardiograph readings. The method outlined in the patent involves rendering a program, capturing image and acoustic data, determining the health status of a patient, authorizing a communication session with a medical service provider, and transmitting relevant data. The patent also details the process of interrupting the program on the display device to initiate the communication session, showcasing a user-friendly graphical interface for seamless interaction.
