HAND-HELD MEDICAL-DATA CAPTURE-DEVICE HAVING OPTICAL DETECTION OF VITAL SIGNS FROM MULTIPLE FILTERS AND INTEROPERATION WITH ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEMS THROUGH A STATIC IP ADDRESS WITHOUT SPECIFIC DISCOVERY PROTOCOLS OR DOMAIN NAME SERVICE

摘要

In one implementation, an apparatus estimates body core temperature from an infrared measurement of an external source point using a cubic relationship between the body core temperature and the measurement of an external source point is described, estimates temperature from a digital infrared sensor and determines vital signs from a solid-state image transducer, or determines vital signs from a solid-state image transducer and estimates body core temperature from an infrared measurement of an external source point using a cubic relationship between the body core temperature and the measurement of an external source point; after which the estimated and/or determined information is transmitted to an external database.

主权项

1. A non-touch thermometer to measure a temperature, the non-touch thermometer comprising:
a microprocessor; a battery operably coupled to the microprocessor; a single button operably coupled to the microprocessor; a camera operably coupled to the microprocessor and operable to capture at least two images to a memory; wherein the microprocessor includes a pixel-examination-module that is operable to examine pixel values of the at least two images in the memory, a temporal-variation module that is operable to determine temporal variation of the pixel values between the at least two images, a signal processing module that is operable to amplify the temporal variation resulting in amplified temporal variation, and a vital-sign generator that is operably coupled to the signal processing module that generates at least one human vital sign from the temporal variation; a wireless communication subsystem that is operably coupled to the microprocessor and that is operable to transmit a representation of the at least one human vital sign; and a display device that is operably coupled to the microprocessor that displays the at least one human vital sign, wherein the non-touch thermometer does not support specific discovery protocols or domain name service.
