Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present disclosure is directed to an integrated portable medical diagnostic system (PMDS) that provides medical practitioners with a simple and convenient access to one or more medical instruments. In one embodiment, a PMDS is used in a "physician-centric" outpatient workflow in which physicians typically remain stationary while patients rotate with physicians during a medical examination or procedure.

[0018] For example, see figure 1 , which illustrates one example of a workflow 100 in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure.

[0019] Workflow 100 begins at step 102 in which a patient enters an examination room for an examination or one or more minor or moderate medical diagnostic procedures. An example of a medical diagnostic procedure includes an eye examination, an ear examination, blood pressure measurement, and body temperature measurement. Other implementations are also possible. For example, a patient may enter an examination room to re...

Abstract

An integrated portable medical diagnostic system (PMDS) provides easy and convenient access to one or more medical instruments for healthcare practitioners. The PMDS is utilized in an outpatient workflow in which the practitioner generally remains stationary, while patients rotate to and from the practitioner over the course of a medical examination or procedure. The PMDS includes a body including a plurality of compartments, a first compartment defines a first receptacle for a blood pressure monitor, a second compartment adjacent the first compartment defines a second receptacle for an otoscope and an ophthalmoscope, and a third compartment adjacent the second compartment defines a third receptacle for a thermometer.

Description

Background technique [0001] Medical practitioners, such as nurses and doctors, use various types of therapeutic and diagnostic tools to assist in the task of providing health care services to a patient. In a typical outpatient clinic, a patient enters a private examination room and waits for a specific doctor to start an examination. This doctor may have other patients waiting in separate private examination rooms. This workflow can be considered "patient-centric" because patients typically remain stationary while physicians rotate among other patients. However, this workflow is not the only way a doctor can provide health care in an outpatient setting. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] In one aspect, a medical diagnostic device is disclosed. The device includes a body with several compartments, a first compartment defines a first accommodating space for placing a blood pressure monitor, and a second compartment adjacent to the first compartment defines a first compartmen...
