Abstract
An apparatus comprises a diagnostic device configured to be operated by a first medical service provider to collect diagnostic data indicative of a physiological condition of a patient; and a processing device configured for communication with the diagnostic device and a brokerage system during a real-time consultation between the patient and a second medical service provider, over a real-time communication channel established by the brokerage system, with the processing device being further configured to cause the diagnostic data to be transmitted to a device used by the service provider during the real-time consultation to promote diagnosis of the physiological condition of the patient.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a diagnostic device configured to be operated by a first medical service provider to collect diagnostic data indicative of a physiological condition of a patient;
- and
- a processing device configured for communication with the diagnostic device and a brokerage system during a real-time consultation between the patient and a second medical service provider, over a real-time communication channel established by the brokerage system, with the processing device being further configured to cause the diagnostic data to be transmitted to a device used by the second medical service provider during the real-time consultation to promote diagnosis of the physiological condition of the patient.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- establishing, by a brokerage system, a communication channel between a device used by a consumer and a device used by a service provider;
- receiving, from the device used by the consumer, diagnostic data collected from a diagnostic device in communication with the device used by the consumer;
- transmitting the diagnostic data to the device used by the service provider to promote diagnosis of a physiological condition of the consumer;
- receiving, from the device used by the service provider, information indicative of instructions for repositioning of the diagnostic device to provide the service provider with a requested view of a portion of the consumer's body;
- forwarding, to the device used by the consumer of services, the information indicative of instructions for placement of the diagnostic device to provide the service provider with the requested view of the portion of the consumer's body;
- receiving, from the device used by the consumer of services, updated diagnostic data indicative of the requested view of the portion of the consumer's body;
- and
- transmitting, to the device used by the service provider, the updated diagnostic data as a real-time video stream.
