A portable, lightweight digital imaging device uses a slit scanning arrangement to obtain an image of the eye, in particular the retina. The scanning arrangement reduces the amount of target area illuminated at a time, thereby reducing the amount of unwanted light scatter and providing a higher contrast image. A detection arrangement receives the light remitted from the retinal plane and produces an image. The device is operable under battery power and ambient light conditions, such as outdoor or room lighting. The device is noncontact and does not require that the pupil of the eye be dilated with drops. The device can be used by personnel who do not have specialized training in the eye, such as emergency personnel, pediatricians, general practitioners, or volunteer or otherwise unskilled screening personnel. Images can be viewed in the device or transmitted to a remote location. The device can also be used to provide images of the anterior segment of the eye, or other small structures. Visible wavelength light is not required to produce images of most important structures in the retina, thereby increasing the comfort and safety of the device. Flexible and moderate cost confocal and fluorescent imaging, multiply scattered light images, and image sharpening are further functionalities possible with the device.

A system and method for providing computerized, knowledge-based medical diagnostic and treatment advice. The medical advice is provided to the general public over a telephone network. Two new authoring languages, interactive voice response and speech recognition are used to enable expert and general practitioner knowledge to be encoded for access by the public. “Meta” functions for time-density analysis of a number of factors regarding the number of medical complaints per unit of time are an integral part of the system. A semantic discrepancy evaluator routine along with a mental status examination are used to detect the consciousness level of a user of the system. A re-enter feature monitors the user's changing condition over time. A symptom severity analysis helps to respond to the changing conditions. System sensitivity factors may be changed at a global level or other levels to adjust the system advice as necessary.

A reagent cuvette has a first chamber with an inspection part and a socket, and a second chamber. The socket has four spikes at its base. Both chambers are sealed with a membrane. At the point-of-care the foil membrane of the first chamber is peeled away by the therapist (typically general practitioner doctor). A sample, such as blood, is added to the chamber using a pipette or other device to provide a verifiable quantity of sample. This provides a mixture of a buffer reagent supplied in the chamber and the sample injected into the inspection chamber at the point of care. The chamber is then inserted into the socket by gently pressing it down so that its foil membrane is broken by the spikes. This causes the starter reagent to drop down from within the second chamber into the inspection part of the first chamber. The inspection part is then inserted into an optical inspection instrument for analysis of the two reagents and the sample mixed together.

The invention discloses a health service system based on an intelligentized set-top box. The system comprises a health service center established on the server side, the intelligentized set-top box and a health sign examination device. The system, according to the changing process of sign examination information of users, actual exercise and body-building conditions of the users, specific data in hospital health electronic archives of the users and with the habitual life-styles of individuals fully taken into account, provides the users with reasonable, complete, targeted health guidance scheme. Meanwhile, in the health service system, the health guidance scheme is combined with the changing trend of the health sign target, the health guidance scheme and the changing trend of the health sign target are displayed comparably in a visual-image manner and health benefits are evaluated quantitatively, so that the users really feel the advantages of healthy life styles and take an active part in the healthy life styles; at the same time, health managers, general practitioners and rehabilitation physicians trace and supervise the users in time, so that a real personalized service management mode is realized.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and device for recommending doctors through internet diagnosis and treatment. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an inquiry demand of a user, wherein the inquiry demand comprises determining a general practitioner or a specialist for treatment; if it is a general practitioner, obtaining a general practitioner recommendation rule,and obtaining a target general practitioner according to the general practitioner recommendation rule; if it is a specialist, obtaining a first specialist recommendation rule; and obtaining a first target specialist according to the first specialist recommendation rule. The indexes of doctors in different links are quantified, and the method is applied to different medical scenes. According to themethod, different types and quantities of qualification, evaluation and reception of doctors are quantified, and the quantified types and quantities are used as reference bases for doctor selection.
