[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices and, more particularly, to digital medical devices intended for telemedicine.

[0002] The invention is of particular interest, in no way limiting, for teleconsultations carried out in a mobile office. State of the prior art

[0003] To respond to contemporary demographic, epidemiological and organizational difficulties, remote medical consultations have developed significantly in recent years.

[0004] Known teleconsultation techniques use applications enabling remote audiovisual communication to be established between a patient and a doctor.

[0005] Audiovisual teleconsultations can overcome the aforementioned difficulties. However, they may require the establishment of a clinical examination and / or complementary diagnosis involving a traditional consultation, in a medical office or center. Statement of the invention

[0006] The invention generally aims to meet the needs in terms of medical consultation and, in particular, to overcome the limitations of conventional audiovisual teleconsultations.

[0007] To this end, the invention relates to a telemedicine device, comprising: - a storage module having compartments configured to receive sensors for measuring physiological parameters, - a processing module configured to process measurement data provided by the sensors.

[0008] The term “telemedicine” refers to a remote medical practice using information and communication technologies.

[0009] Thus, the device of the invention is configured to communicate information, including information provided by said processing module, with one or more remote devices, which may typically include one or more computer systems such as a server or a computer.

[0010] The invention provides a solution for supporting a medical diagnosis in the context of a teleconsultation, using biomedical sensors received in said module. storage dedicated to them and connected to said module for processing the measurement data provided by the sensors.

[0015] In one embodiment, one or more of said wedging members are integral with, or formed by, one or more of said covers.

[0016] The storage module may comprise a fixed part and a mobile part.

[0017] In one embodiment, the movable part forms one or more of said compartments and is configured to be able to be moved between: - a first position in which the fixed part covers one or more compartments formed by the mobile part, and - a second position in which one or more compartments formed by the movable part are set back from the fixed part, in order to provide access to these compartments.

[0018] In other words, the storage module may comprise an element such as a drawer, constituted by said movable part.

[0019] Such an arrangement makes it easier to store and use the sensors.

[0020] Of course, the fixed part can also include one or more compartments.

[0021] In one embodiment, when the movable part of the storage module is in the first position, the fixed part exerts a pressing force on one or more of said wedging members received in, or arranged opposite, one or more compartments formed by the movable part.

[0022] In one embodiment, one or more of said covers are integral with the movable part of the storage module and are configured to be able to be retracted and / or folded in order to provide access to one or more compartments formed by the movable part.

[0023] In one embodiment, the fixed portion of the storage module comprises a cavity configured to receive cables connected to sensors, or to control members. connection and / or power supply of sensors, for example sensors received in the compartments formed by the mobile part of the storage module.

[0024] Preferably, the device comprises a guide member for said cables configured to guide them in the cavity when the mobile part changes position.

[0025] In one embodiment, the processing module comprises electronic means configured to transmit said measurement data to a remote terminal.

[0026] The device may also comprise a power supply module for said sensors.

[0027] The invention also covers the device defined above equipped with one or more of said sensors.

[0028] In a non-limiting manner, the device may comprise sensors chosen from a list comprising a thermometer, an oximeter, a blood pressure monitor, a camera, a dermatoscope, an otoscope, a stethoscope, an ultrasound scanner and a spirometer.

[0029] The device may also comprise one or more auxiliary organs chosen from a list comprising a screen, a camera, a microphone and a smart card reader, for example a vital card reader.

[0030] The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a telemedicine device, in particular a telemedicine device as defined above, and a guide member intended to be connected to a fixed element such as a ceiling of a motor vehicle.

[0031] In one embodiment, the guide member is configured to allow movement of the telemedicine device relative to said fixed element.

[0032] The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising a telemedicine device as defined above and / or an assembly as defined above.

[0033] By way of non-limiting example, the vehicle may be a pickup truck or van or another type of vehicle preferably comprising a cell configured to receive the device of the invention and a group of people comprising at least one patient and one medical agent.

[0034] In one embodiment, the vehicle comprises a guide member connected to a ceiling of the vehicle, or more generally to a fixed structure of the vehicle, and configured to allow movement of the telemedicine device relative to this ceiling or this fixed structure.

[0035] Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the detailed, non-limiting description which follows. Brief description of the drawings

Detailed description of embodiments

[0037] Figures 1 to 5 show a preferred, non-limiting version of a device 1 according to the invention.

[0038] The figures include a reference frame defining orthogonal directions D1, D2 and D3 which indicate an arrangement of the device 1 in space.

[0039] In this example, D1 is a transverse direction indicating front and rear portions of the device 1, D2 is a vertical direction and D3 is a lateral direction.

[0040] With reference to Figures 1 to 3, the device 1 is in the form of a multifunctional telemedicine unit.

[0041] The device 1 is intended to equip a medical consultation cell 500, as illustrated schematically in Figures 6 and 7. In this non-limiting example, the cell 500 belongs to a motor vehicle (not shown) of the van type, thus forming a mobile telemedicine office.

[0042] With reference to figures 1 to 3, the device 1 comprises sub-assemblies 100 and 200 carried by an arm 2.

[0043] The arm 2 has a generally cylindrical shape having an axis Al parallel to the vertical direction D2.

[0044] More precisely, the arm 2 comprises, vertically from bottom to top, a lower part 2A, a middle part 2B and an upper part 2C (cf. [Fig.2]).

[0045] In this example, parts 2A and 2B are connected to each other by a pivot type connection, allowing rotation of these parts relative to each other around the axis AL. Similarly, parts 2B and 2C are connected to each other by a pivot type connection, allowing rotation of these parts relative to each other around the axis AL.

[0046] Such connections make it possible to position each of the parts 2A, 2B and 2C - and the sub-assemblies 100 and 200 respectively connected to these different parts (see further below) - in an angular position adapted to the needs.

[0047] In this example, the arm 2 comprises a first locking-unlocking member (not shown) which can be moved between a locking position, in which this member prevents rotation of the part 2A relative to the part 2B so as to lock them in a given relative angular position, and an unlocking position in which this member allows such rotation in order to be able to modify the angular position of the part 2A relative to the part 2B.

[0048] The arm 2 similarly comprises a second locking-unlocking member (not shown) which can be moved between a locking position, in which this member prevents rotation of the part 2B relative to the part 2C so as to lock them in a given relative angular position, and an unlocking position in which this second member allows such rotation in order to be able to modify the angular position of the part 2B relative to the part 2C.

[0049] In a non-limiting manner, each of these locking-unlocking members may comprise an element, for example a ball, secured to one of the parts and configured to cooperate with a complementary element, for example an orifice, formed by another part of the arm. For another example not shown, the locking-unlocking may be achieved using a removable element such as a pin.

[0050] Of course, the arm 2 may be devoid of such locking-unlocking members, the maintenance of each of the parts 2A-2C of the arm 2 in a given angular position being able to be ensured by the coefficient of static friction resulting from the geometry and / or the material(s) of the parts 2A-2C of the arm 2.

[0051] With reference to figures 2 and 4, the arm 2 has a lower end 2D, formed by the part 2A of the arm 2, which is configured to cooperate with a fixing member 3.

[0052] In this example, the fixing member 3 comprises a plate 4 extending in a vertical plane and a plate 5 connected to the plate 4 according to a pivot connection, allowing rotation of the plate 5 relative to the plate 4 around an axis A2 parallel to D3 (see [Fig.4]), between a first and a second position.

[0053] In said first position, illustrated in Figures 2 to 5, the plate 5 is opposite the lower end 2D of the arm 2. The plate 5 is in this example equipped with a knurled screw 6 configured to be able to be screwed into a thread made in the lower part 2A of the arm 2, in order to immobilize the arm 2 relative to the plate 5 and relative to the fixing plate 4.

[0054] In said second position, not shown, the plate 5 is set back from the end 2D of the arm 2 in order to be able to move the arm 2 and the device 1 relative to the fixing member 3, for example to move from the configuration of [Fig.6] to that of [Fig.7].

[0055] In the context of the embodiment taken here as an example, the plate 4 of the fixing member 3 is fixed to a partition 501 of the cell 500 by screws 7 (see figures 2 and 4-7).

[0056] The fixing member 3 thus makes it possible to immobilize the arm 2 and the device 1 relative to the partition 501 according to a so-called transport configuration, illustrated in [Fig.6], which is intended to be implemented during movements of the vehicle, in particular by road.

[0057] The arm 2 has, opposite the end 2D, an upper end 2E formed by the part 2C of the arm 2 (see figures 1 and 2).

[0058] In the non-limiting example of Figures 6 and 7, the arm 2 is connected by its upper end 2E to a guide member such as a rail 502 secured to a ceiling 503 of the cell 500, so as to allow movement of the arm 2 and of the device 1 relative to this ceiling 503, in this case in translation in a direction parallel to a plane D1-D3 and in particular between a position in which the device 1 is in said transport configuration ([Fig.6]) and a position of use in which the device 1 is moved away from said partition 501 for the purpose of its use ([Fig.7]).

[0059] The rail 502 may comprise means (not shown) making it possible to immobilize the device 1 relative to the rail 502 in this position of use and / or in other positions of use, for example in positions spaced apart from each other by a distance of, for example, approximately 10 cm.

[0060] The subassembly 100 will now be described, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0061] The subassembly 100 comprises a frame comprising crosspieces 101 which are integral with the middle part 2B of the arm 2, as well as the side panels 102 which are connected to each other by the crosspieces 101.

[0062] The side panels 102 comprise handles 103 allowing a user to move the subassembly 100, for example in rotation around the axis A1 of the arm 2, and / or to move the device 1 and the arm 2 in translation within the cell 500, thanks to the guide member 502 fixed to the ceiling 503 (see figures 6 and 7).

[0063] The subassembly 100 comprises in this example an audiovisual module embedded in the frame, this audiovisual module comprising in a non-limiting manner a touch screen 105, a camera 106, as well as a microphone and an anti-echo speaker (not shown).

[0064] The subassembly 100 further comprises a computer processing module (not shown), forming a central unit, as well as a power supply module (not shown).

[0065] In this example, the audiovisual module is connected to the power supply module to be supplied with energy and is connected to the processing module in order to exchange audiovisual information.

[0066] The subassembly 200 will now be described, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0067] The subassembly 200 forms a storage module intended to receive sensors for measuring physiological parameters and medical imaging (see further below).

[0068] In this example, the storage module 200 is in the form of a piece of furniture provided with a fixed part 201 and a mobile part 202 of the drawer type.

[0069] The fixed part 201 of the storage module is integral with the lower part 2A of the arm 2 (see figures 2 and 5).

[0070] The fixed part 201 of the storage module comprises a lower wall 210 (see figures 4 and 5), side walls 211 (see figures 1, 2, 4 and 5), rear walls 212 (see figures 2, 4 and 5), an upper wall 213 (see [Fig.5]), a storage part forming compartments 214 (see figures 1, 2 and 5) which are carried by the upper wall 213, and a front wall 215 (see figures 1, 3 and 5).

[0071] The fixed part 201 thus comprises, on the one hand, a lower part defining a space which is delimited by the walls 210, 211, 212 and 213 and which is provided to fit the mobile part 202 of the storage module and, on the other hand, said storage part which extends vertically above the lower part.

[0072] The compartments 214 are in the form of trays spaced along the direction D3 and having a bottom facing the upper wall 213, so as to have openings vertically opposite this bottom, that is to say towards the top of the fixed part 201, allowing sensors to be placed in the compartments or removed from them.

[0073] Among other advantages, such compartments 214 can be easily cleaned and sterilized.

[0074] The storage module 200 comprises in this example a cover 220 (see figures 1-3 and 5) connected to said fixed part 201 according to a pivot type connection allowing movement of the cover 220 relative to the fixed part 201 in rotation around an axis parallel to D3 between an open position, shown in figures 1-3 and 5, and a closed position (not shown) in which the cover 220 extends above the compartments 214 so as to close said openings that they define.

[0075] In this example, the cover 220 is in the form of a rigid wall in two parts which are themselves movable relative to each other in rotation around an axis parallel to D3, so as to be able to be folded onto each other in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 in order to reduce their bulk when the cover 220 is thus open.

[0076] The two parts of the wall forming the cover 220 are here equipped with material elements 222 (see figures 1, 3 and 5), in this example made of crosslinked polyethylene foam, which are configured to extend into the compartments 214 when the cover 220 is closed.

[0077] Thus, when the cover 220 is closed, the sensors which are arranged in the compartments 214 are protected both against external dust in particular and against impacts by the material elements 222 which make it possible to dampen vibrations of the sensors, in particular when the vehicle is moving.

[0078] The material elements 222 thus form sensor wedging members.

[0079] Concerning the mobile part 202 of the storage module 200, this is connected to the fixed part 201 by rails 230 secured to the side walls 211 of the fixed part 201 (see [Fig. 5]) so as to be able to slide parallel to the direction DI between an open position, shown in Figures 1 to 5, and a closed position (not shown).

[0080] The movable part 202 comprises a lower wall 240 (see figures 4 and 5), side walls 241 (see [Fig.4]), a rear wall 242 (see [Fig.5]), a front wall 243 and a storage part forming compartments 244 (see figures 1, 2 and 5) which are carried by the lower wall 240.

[0081] In this example, the compartments 244 of the mobile part 202 are similar to the compartments 214 of the fixed part 201.

[0082] Thus, the compartments 244 are in the form of trays spaced along the direction D3 and having a bottom facing the lower wall 240 of the mobile part 202, so as to have openings vertically opposite this bottom, that is to say towards the top of the mobile part 202, allowing sensors to be placed in the compartments 244 or removed therefrom.

[0083] The storage module 200 comprises in this example a cover 250 in the form of two flexible strips, for example made of textile or other elastically deformable material, which are each connected to a respective one of the side walls 241 of the movable part 202 by one of their so-called proximal ends. Each of the strips has a distal end, opposite the proximal end, which is free, so as to be able to be moved between a closed configuration and a retracted configuration.

[0084] When one of the strips of the cover 250 is in the closed configuration (not shown), this strip extends above a respective part of the compartments 244 so as to close the corresponding openings of these compartments 244.

[0085] When the two strips of the cover 250 are in the closed configuration, the distal end of one of the strips is opposite the distal end of the other of said strips, so as to cover all of the compartments 244.

[0086] In the retracted configuration, visible in FIGS. 1 to 5, the strips of the cover 250 are folded so as to each extend along an outer surface of a respective one of the side walls 241 and a respective part of an outer surface of the lower wall 210.

[0087] In this example, the distal end of each of the strips of the cover 250 comprises a magnet-type fixing member (not shown), configured to hold the strips in the retracted configuration, thereby fixing their distal end to the lower wall 240 of the storage module 200, and to hold them in the closed configuration by fixing their distal end against each other.

[0088] In this example, the strips of the cover 250 are equipped with material elements 252, here made of crosslinked polyethylene foam, arranged to extend into the compartments 244 when the cover 250 is in the closed configuration.

[0089] Thus, when the cover 250 is closed, the sensors which are arranged in the compartments 244 are protected both against external dust in particular and against impacts by the material elements 252, which thus form wedging members capable of damping vibrations of the sensors, in particular during movements of the vehicle.

[0090] Concerning the position of the movable part 202 of the storage module 200 relative to the fixed part 201, in the open position illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, the compartments 244 are set back relative to the fixed part 201, in this case along the direction DI. This position thus makes it possible to access the compartments 244 and to place sensors there or to remove them from these compartments 244 when the cover 250 is retracted.

[0091] Before moving the movable part 202 to the closed position, the cover 250 is itself placed in the closed configuration.

[0092] When the movable part 202 of the storage module 200 is moved, relative to the fixed part 201, between the open position and the closed position, the movable part 202 enters the nesting space formed by the lower part of the fixed part 201 to a position in which the front wall 243 of the movable part 202 abuts on the front wall 215 of the fixed part 201.

[0093] In this example, during such a movement and when the movable part 202 is in the closed position, the upper wall 213 of the fixed part 201 exerts a force of plating on the cover 250, and consequently on the wedging members 252, making it possible to improve the wedging of the sensors arranged in the compartments 244, in this example by compressing the foam forming the members 252.

[0094] The upper wall 213 of the fixed part 201 comprises in this example a front part 213A inclined relative to the direction DI (see [Fig.5]) in order to promote the correct positioning of the cover 250 and the wedging members 252 in the compartments 244 when closing the mobile part 202.

[0095] When the movable part 202 is in the closed position, the compartments 244 are thus covered both by the cover 250 and by the fixed part 201 of the module 200, in particular by the upper wall 213 of the fixed part 201.

[0096] The storage module 200 comprises in this example fastening members 260, of the latch type, configured to fix the front wall 243 of the mobile part 202 to the fixed part 201 in order to maintain the mobile part 202 in the closed position.

[0097] The device 1 is intended to be used with biomedical sensors in order to measure physiological parameters.

[0098] In a non-limiting manner, these sensors include a thermometer, an oximeter, a blood pressure monitor, an otoscope, a stethoscope, a dermatoscope or dermatology lens, an ultrasound scanner, a spirometer, a glucometer and a smartphone camera.

[0099] In this example, when in use, the otoscope and the stethoscope are the only sensors connected to the central unit by wire, in this example using “USB” (Universal Serial Bus) type connectors.

[0100] The other sensors operate without a wired connection. In this example, the thermometer, oximeter, blood pressure monitor, glucometer, smartphone and spirometer communicate with the central unit via Bluetooth, while the ultrasound scanner communicates with the central unit via the smartphone to which it is connected by a connector, for example a connector known as “Lightning”. The dermatology lens is in this example configured to be connected to the smartphone via a magnetic ring.

[0101] The sensors can thus communicate with the central unit of the processing module, which comprises electronic means configured to transmit measurement data provided by the sensors to a remote terminal.

[0102] In this non-limiting example, the charging of the wireless sensors is carried out by combining different techniques. The thermometer comprises a battery. The oximeter, the blood pressure monitor, the spirometer, the glucometer and the dermatology lens are recharged by wired connection to said power supply module, in this example using USB type connectors. The ultrasound scanner and the smartphone are recharged by being placed on respective charging surfaces, for example using of a technology known as “NFC” (from the English “Near Field Communication”), the charging surfaces being connected by wired connection to said power module.

[0103] To do this, two compartments among the compartments 214 and 244 of the storage module 200 are each equipped with a respective one of said charging surfaces, these two compartments therefore being dedicated, in this example, to the ultrasound scanner and the smartphone.

[0104] At least five other compartments among the compartments 214 and 244 of the storage module 200 are each equipped with a power connector, in this example of the USB type. The oximeter, the blood pressure monitor, the spirometer, the glucometer and the dermatology lens can be placed interchangeably in these compartments in order to ensure their charging.

[0105] The thermometer may be placed in any of the other compartments 214 and 244 of the storage module 200.

[0106] Compartments not receiving a sensor can be used to receive sensor consumables and / or as a trash can.

[0107] Thus, in this example, several of the compartments 214 and / or 244 of the storage module 200 are equipped with a USB type connector connected to the central unit and / or said charging module by cables.

[0108] With reference to [Fig.5], these cables pass through a cavity of the storage module 200 which extends towards the rear of the lower part of the fixed part 201 of this module 200.

[0109] More precisely, said cavity extends between the rear walls 212 of the fixed part 201 and the rear wall 242 of the mobile part 202.

[0110] In this example, the subassembly 200 comprises within said cavity one or more members such as combs (not shown) configured to guide or orient the folding of the cables in this cavity when the mobile part 202 changes position.

[0111] The subassembly 200 also comprises, in this example, a member (not shown) configured to allow deployment or retraction of the cables intended to be connected to the otoscope and the stethoscope, as well as a corresponding anti-tearing system (not shown).

[0112] Additional non-limiting members are shown in the figures, in particular access hatches 270 (see figures 2 and 4) in the subassembly 200, as well as a vital card reading module 300 belonging in this example to the subassembly 100 (see figures 1 and 3).

[0113] For information purposes, the computer processing module may be part of a computer system which has an architecture defining: - a software unit called “patient”, which can be hosted on a computer or a microprocessor embedded in the telemedicine unit, for the acquisition, display and transfer of audio and / or video and / or text streams, exchanged with said sensors and / or said audiovisual module, - a software unit called a “doctor”, which can be hosted on a doctor’s computer at a distance from the telemedicine unit, for the acquisition, display and transfer of audio and / or video and / or text streams, exchanged with one or more additional transmitters and / or sensors, for example by wire, Bluetooth and / or Wifi, - a software unit, which can be hosted on a remote server, for the transfer and possibly the processing of audio and / or video and / or text streams, exchanged with the patient unit and / or the doctor unit, for example by Wifi.

[0114] The preceding description is of course not limiting and numerous variations can be made to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 5. Concerning for example the subassembly 100, the audiovisual module constitutes an optional auxiliary member which can take other forms and / or comprise other components than those described above.

[0115] The storage module 200 may also be presented differently and, for example, comprise only one or more fixed parts, or comprise one or more mobile parts arranged differently. The geometry and / or the arrangement and / or the number of compartments may be modified, as may the covers, which may be made differently or even eliminated. For another example, said wedging members may be made of materials other than that described above and / or be connected to other parts of the device 1.

[0116] The subassemblies 100 and / or 200 as well as their variants and / or one or more other subassemblies (not shown) may be arranged relative to each other in any other manner, for example by being connected to different parts of the arm 2 or another connecting member.

[0117] In one embodiment, not shown, the fixing member 3 described above is substituted by a fixing member of the self-gripping strip type, for example a product marketed under the brand name “VELCRO”.

[0118] In one embodiment, not shown, the device 1 is connected to a ceiling of a stationary structure, for example within a building. According to another alternative, not shown, the device 1 is not connected to a ceiling but is installed on a trolley, by any connecting member which may or may not have a geometry similar to that of the arm 2.
