Abstract
A medical monitoring device comprises at least one inspection sensor, configured to detect one or more events, changes or characteristic of tissue, when interfaced with a patient's body, and at least one auxiliary sensor configured to provide data regarding actuation of the device with relation to the anatomy of the patient's body.
Claims21
1-36. (canceled)
A monitoring device attachable to an intervaginal device, comprising:
- one or more inspection sensors configured to detected data related to an interface of the device with a tissue of an intervaginal anatomy of a patient;
- one or more auxiliary sensors configured to provide data regarding a location of the device with relation to the intervaginal anatomy of the patient;
- and
- a communication module configured to send data received from the one or more inspection sensors and the one or more auxiliary sensors to an external computerized device.
The monitoring device of claim 1, wherein the device is a disposable apparatus configured to be mounted on the intervaginal device.
A method of training a robot to autonomously perform an ultrasound test, to an anatomy of the patient's body, using a monitoring device, the method comprising:
- receiving data regarding a location of the device, during an ultrasound test, from one auxiliary sensor, included in a monitoring device attachable to the ultrasound transducer;
- receiving data related to the interface of the device with a tissue of an anatomy of the patient's body, during the ultrasound test, from one or more inspection sensors, included in the monitoring device;
- generating an elasticity image based on the received inspection sensors data, wherein the elasticity image comprises the patient's tissue topography and stiffness;
- and
- correlating between the ultrasound transducer location and the elasticity image.
A method of conducting an automated ultrasound scanning, the method comprising;
- receiving an initial location in an anatomy of a patient's body;
- receiving elasticity images of locations in the anatomy of patients' body, previously generated;
- automatically conducting an ultrasound scanning of the anatomy of a patient's body based in the elasticity images, by operating an ultrasound transducer;
- and
- displaying the ultrasound scanning to a user.
