A method and system for integrated diagnostic testing and real-time treatment that includes a medical data gathering device to capture multiple of source images, where at least one of the source images contains a fiducial marker. The method and system incorporate a low latency encoder to encode the captured source images into a data stream and further includes an environmental sensor device for the capturing of sensor data. A processor is used to contextually modify the source images based on the captured sensor data and the fiducial marker and a transmitting device is used to transmit the contextually modified source images to a display device.

A medical system includes: a plurality of medical apparatuses used for surgery using an endoscope; a communication-with-apparatus portion configured to communicate with the plurality of medical apparatuses; a replacement portion configured to replace operation setting values for causing the plurality of medical apparatuses to operate along a procedure for the surgery with progress state information indicating progress of the surgery; a priority degree setting portion configured to set a support priority degree for smoothly advancing surgery, for progress state information; a transmission portion configured to transmit the progress state information; a control apparatus including a communication-with-apparatus portion and the like; and a terminal apparatus including: a receiving portion configured to receive the progress state information transmitted from the transmission portion; and a display portion configured to display the received progress state information.

Aspects of various examples described herein can include using a wearable ultrasound device (e.g., a device wearable or manipulated using a fingertip). The wearable ultrasound device can include an ultrasound transducer element array, and can have a housing providing circuitry to process signals to or from the array, such as digitizing such signals. For example, a channel count of the analog signal channels corresponding to individual sensors in the array can be converted to a single digital channel (e.g., a serial channel), or at least a reduced channel count as compared to a count of transducer elements. In this manner, a wired or wireless coupling between the ultrasound front end circuitry in the wearable device and processing or display hardware elsewhere need not accommodate a large number of analog channels, and can instead, for example, have a digital communication interface.

A device for determining a heart rate of a user has a PPG sensor and an accelerometer to compensate for acceleration artifacts within the PPG signal. The device transforms time domain PPG and accelerometer signals into the frequency domain using a Fourier transformation and utilizes the Fourier coefficient magnitudes as indicative of the probability of candidate heart rate values. Candidate heart rate values are determined at sampling times over a time interval and a most probable heart rate path during the time interval is determined using a reward/penalty algorithm.

An electronic device includes a medical testing unit. The medical testing unit includes a medical processor, a number of medical testing modules, and a number of testing subunits. Each testing subunit is electrically coupled to a corresponding medical testing module, the medical processor is electrically coupled to the medical testing modules. The medical processor is used for controlling the testing subunits and the medical testing modules to test physiological parameters of users, and acquire, process, and analyze the physiological parameters to generate health data.

An apparatus may be configured for documenting a code blue scenario when adhered to the chest of a subject undergoing resuscitation by sensing and transmitting information associated with the code blue scenario. Such information may include one or more of vital signs of the subject during resuscitation, information associated with chest movements of the subject during resuscitation, and audio information from an environment of the subject during resuscitation. A computing platform that is separate and distinct from the apparatus may provide code blue documentation conveying information related to the vital signs of the subject and derived from the audio information from the environment of the subject during resuscitation.

An apparatus for non-invasively determining a type of tissue matter and its state within a living entity consisting of application of two different diagnostic images simultaniously through the same B-scan transducer is disclosed. The apparatus uses a B-scan image visualization as a guiding image information for two-frequency attenuation method to determine an attenuation data for any chosen spot of interest and includes the steps of applying arbitrary waveform generator to produce a B-scan image of the tissue matter to be analyzed, selecting a region of interest on the image, positioning the indicator of the direction of the receiving reflected signals to the spot of interest, detecting reflected signals from said spot of interest, analyzing the reflected signals to determine attenuation data for the tissue matter. The same advanced combined diagnostic examination can be achieved by using any existing on the market ultrasound diagnostic apparatus with a B-scan imaging system by applying interface switch-adapter consisting of switching of some piezoelements of the same B-scan transducer to the two-frequency attenuation apparatus for the period of measurement of the attenuation data to determine a type of tissue matter and its state within a living entity.
