Remote medical examination

A remote medical examination system, comprising:

• a remote exam attachment operable to removably couple to a user device,
• wherein the user device, to which the remote exam attachment is operable to removably couple, comprises a front-facing camera;
• wherein the remote exam attachment comprises an optical element;
• and
• wherein the remote exam attachment is sized and shaped so that the optical element of the remote exam attachment is optically aligned with the front-facing camera of the user device when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device;
• an external light attachment coupled to the remote exam attachment, the external light attachment comprising:
• a housing;
• and
• an external light source disposed within the housing;
• and
• a speculum coupled to the remote exam attachment;
• wherein, when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device, the front-facing camera of the user device is operable to capture an image of an object using:
• the optical element of the remote exam attachment,
• the external light attachment comprising the housing and the external light source disposed therewithin, and
• the speculum;
• wherein the external light attachment is coupled to the remote exam attachment so that the position of the housing of the external light attachment, which includes the external light source disposed within the housing, is fixed, relative to the remote exam attachment, in each of:
• a first direction,
• a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and
• a third direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction and thus the second direction is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the third direction;
• wherein, when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device, the position of the optical element of the remote exam attachment is fixed, relative to the speculum, in each of:
• the first direction,
• the second direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the third direction, and
• the third direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction;
• wherein, when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device, the position of the speculum is fixed, relative to the remote exam attachment, in each of:
• the first direction,
• the second direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the third direction, and
• the third direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction;
• wherein, when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device, the position of the housing of the external light attachment, which includes the external light source disposed within the housing, is fixed, relative to each of the user device and the remote exam attachment, in each of:
• the first direction;
• and
• the third direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction, and
• wherein, when the remote exam attachment is coupled to the user device, the position of the housing of the external light attachment, and thus the external light source disposed within the housing, is adjustable, relative to the user device, in the second direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the third direction.
