DEVICES FOR AT-HOME PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EAR AND EAR CANAL
A diagnostic device is configured to capture diagnostic information about a subject (e.g., the subject's ears). The diagnostic device may include a diagnostic extension housing diagnostic elements (e.g., imaging chip, light sources, or lenses) and an ear canal engagement section coupled to the diagnostic extension. The ear canal engagement section may be shaped to position the diagnostic extension superiorly within the ear canal. For example, one side of the ear canal engagement section may be longer than another, which may enable the ear canal engagement section to contact the inferior wall of the ear canal for a longer distance than it contacts the superior wall. This configuration may allow more movement of the diagnostic extension when the device is inserted into the ear, which further improves the alignment of diagnostic elements with a desired area of the ear for diagnoses (e.g., the eardrum).

PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT DEVICE
An instrument head is provided for attachment to a plurality of instrument handles having different power profiles. The instrument head contains an illumination assembly including at least one LED as well as a drive circuit for detecting a power profile of an attached instrument handle and converting variable voltages received from the attached instrument handle to a constant current for powering the at least one LED based on the power profile. Accordingly, the instrument head enables use with a plurality of instrument handles, including those originally configured for use only with incandescent light sources.

Device for acquring personal health information and method therefor
The invention relates to a device for acquiring personal health information and a method therefor, the device: easily and periodically acquiring, anytime and anywhere or without regard to place and time, information on ambient temperature/humidity and health information of an individual, such as the state of skin (including hair), a nose, ears, and a mouth associated with an ENT clinic, the teeth associated with a dental clinic, skin moisture, and body temperature, through image information having multiple functions and a multifunctional health care sensor; enabling the acquired health information to be accumulated over in a personal terminal or computer by analyzing, storing, and making the same into data, and continuously managing the periodically accumulated personal health information such that the personal health information can be used as critical information by which a disease cause and the like can be fundamentally understood during an incidence of disease in the future.
