Abstract
Disclosed is a medical system that allows a healthcare professional to view medical records as they are associated with a patient avatar. The system may create a three- dimensional view of an avatar representing a patient and attach patient records to specific locations of the avatar as representative of the data within each record. A timeline of treatments may be accessible by selecting a particular position on the avatar corresponding to medical treatments.
Claims17
A device for displaying and recording medical information of a patient to a user using a three-dimensional (3D) avatar, comprising:
- holographic eyewear configured to be worn by a user and to display a three dimensional avatar of a patient, wherein the holographic eyewear comprises one or more sensors configured to capture input commands based on the position and gestures of the user's fingers;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- authenticate the user based on data captured by one or more sensors from the holographic eyewear;
- determine a patient identifier based on images of the patient captured by the holographic eyewear;
- retrieve medical records of the patient based on the patient identifier;
- present, on the holographic eyewear, a three-dimensional avatar representing a patient at an apparent position in 3D space overlapping or adjacent to the patient, wherein the size of the avatar relates to the weight and height of the patient, and the three dimensional avatar is rotatable in space so it can be oriented with the position of the patient, and wherein the three dimensional avatar comprises graphical representations for medical information categories relating to disease types retrieved from the medical records of the patient, and displayed spatially near or overlapping associated body parts of the 3D avatar;
- in response to the user selecting a graphical representation for a medical information category relating to a disease type, highlight, on the holographic eyewear, a body part of the 3D avatar associated with the selected medical information category relating to the disease type;
- determine, by the image sensor, a first touch input gesture command by the user to view medical records associated with the highlighted body part in 3D space;
- in response to the first touch gesture input command, display, to the user using the holographic eyewear, a graphical indicium of a first timeline of medical records linked to the highlighted body part of the patient, the graphical indicium of the first timeline comprising a first plurality of time points corresponding to a progression of a disease in the disease type in the patient, wherein the time points on the first timeline comprise graphical indicia of medical records associated with the disease that can be selected by the user;
- determine a second touch input command by the user to display a modified timeline of a second plurality of time points from the progression of the disease of the patient when the image sensor captures the user moving an apparent point of contact with the graphical indicum of the first timeline horizontally in 3D space;
- and
- in response to the second touch input command, replace the display of the graphical indicum of the first timeline with a modified graphical indicium corresponding to the modified timeline and the second plurality of time points,
- wherein the modified timeline comprises a second plurality of graphical indicia representing a second plurality of medical records of the patient.
