Abstract
Methods for diagnosing if a patient is suffering from a stroke include: positioning a headset around the patient's head to receive vibrations generated by a cerebral vasculature of the patient's brain, the headset including at least one microphone or accelerometer; processing the received vibrations to obtain a signal; analyzing the signal to identify a pattern indicative of a stroke; and determining that the patient is suffering from a stroke based upon the result of a CT scan of the patient's brain and neck and the identified pattern indicative of a stroke.
Claims20
A diagnostic system for triaging a patient suffering from a brain condition, the system comprising:
- a head worn device comprising at least one acoustic sensor configured to detect vibrations generated by a cerebral vasculature of the patient's brain;
- a software program configured to execute on a mobile computing device, wherein, when executed, the software program is configured to:
- present a plurality of graphical user interfaces configured to direct a user through a triaging process for the patient;
- receive data indicative of the detected vibrations;
- and
- process the data to obtain at least one signal;
- and
- a signal analyzer coupled with the software program and configured to analyze the at least one signal to identify a pattern indicative of a large vessel occlusion.
A system for diagnosing a patient suffering from a brain condition, the system comprising:
- a head worn device comprising at least one acoustic sensor configured to detect vibrations generated by a cerebral vasculature of the patient's brain;
- a software program configured to execute on a mobile computing device, wherein, when executed, the software program is configured to:
- receive at least one of blood work data, historical treatment data, physical exam data, or imaging data of the patient;
- receive data indicative of the detected vibrations;
- and
- process the data indicative of the detected vibrations to obtain at least one signal;
- and
- a signal analyzer coupled with the software program and configured to analyze the at least one signal to identify a pattern indicative of at least one of a large vessel occlusion, stroke, or migraine, wherein the software program is configured to process the at least one of blood work data, physical exam data, historical treatment data or imaging data together with the identified pattern to generate a diagnosis of the patient and is configured to display the generated diagnosis in at least one graphical user interface, and wherein the diagnosis indicates whether the patient is suffering from at least one of a large vessel occlusion, stroke or migraine.
