Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that enable an electronic device to instruct as user how to user one or more noninvasive sensors to measure one or more physiological parameters of a patient. In one embodiment, the measured parameters are used to obtain a diagnosis, such as a diagnosis of a critical congenital heart defect.
Claims20
A system for noninvasively measuring a physiological parameter of a user to facilitate a diagnosis, the system comprising:
- an electronic device comprising a display, a wireless transceiver, a memory device comprising processor-executable instructions stored thereon, and one or more hardware processors in communication with the display, the wireless transceiver, and the memory device;
- the one or more hardware processors programmed to execute the processor-executable instructions stored in the memory device to:
- display, on the display, a request for at least one patient ID associated with a user;
- receive an input including the at least one patient ID;
- validate the at least one patient ID using one or more validation rules, wherein the one or more validation rules comprise at least one of:
- checking for correct checksum values, checking for certain digits being within allowable ranges, or checking for a correct format;
- display, on the display, instructions to obtain a first measurement by positioning a first noninvasive sensor at a first measurement site on the user;
- receive, from the first noninvasive sensor, first signals responsive to a first physiological characteristic of the user;
- calculate a first measured physiological parameter responsive to the first signals;
- display, on the display, instructions to obtain a second measurement by positioning a second noninvasive sensor at a second measurement site on the user;
- receive, from the second noninvasive sensor, second signals responsive to a second physiological characteristic of the user;
- calculate a second measured physiological parameter of the user responsive to the second signals;
- display, on the display, the first and second measured physiological parameters;
- transmit, via the wireless transceiver, at least the first and second measured physiological parameters, in association with the at least one patient ID, over a network to a clinician;
- and
- initiate, with the wireless transceiver, a telemedicine session with the clinician over the network to obtain a diagnosis based on the first and second measured physiological parameters.

A computer-implemented method for noninvasively measuring a physiological parameter of a user to facilitate a diagnosis, the method comprising:
- by one or more processors executing program instructions:
- displaying, on display, a request for at least one patient ID associated with a user;
- receiving an input including the at least one patient ID;
- validating the at least one patient ID using one or more validation rules, wherein the one or more validation rules comprise at least one of:
- checking for correct checksum values, checking for certain digits being within allowable ranges, or checking for a correct format;
- displaying, on the display, instructions to obtain a first measurement by positioning a first noninvasive sensor at a first measurement site on the user;
- receiving, from the first noninvasive sensor, first signals responsive to a first physiological characteristic of the user;
- calculating a first measured physiological parameter responsive to the first signals;
- displaying, on the display, instructions to obtain a second measurement by positioning a second noninvasive sensor at a second measurement site on the user;
- receiving, from the second noninvasive sensor, second signals responsive to a second physiological characteristic of the user;
- calculating a second measured physiological parameter of the user responsive to the second signals;
- displaying, on the display, the first and second measured physiological parameters;
- transmitting, via a wireless transceiver, at least the first and second measured physiological parameters, in association with the at least one patient ID, over a network to a clinician;
- and
- initiating, with the wireless transceiver, a telemedicine session with the clinician over the network to obtain a diagnosis based on the first and second measured physiological parameters.
