Method and apparatus for diagnosis and treatment

摘要

Method and apparatus for performing multiple measurements and diagnoses simultaneously, in terms of body function, include a data processing element, a data acquisition module, an optional treatment output module, a user control module, and a user display system, where the data acquisition module sends a plurality of measurement data simultaneously, in terms of body functions, to the data processing element. The processing element provides a plurality of outputs which can be made available to the user or combined in the diagnostic module. A treatment algorithm in the treatment module can affect the patient through a feedback mechanism. In response, the data processing element generates treatment information needed by the treatment output module.

主权项

1. A treatment apparatus for effecting treatments, comprising:
a treatment module connected to a feedback module, wherein the feedback module receives sensor information from the one or more sensors that sense conditions prevailing in a medium and uses the sensor information to transmit one or more control signals to an electrical stimulator module for generating one or more output signals, wherein:
the one or more output signals, when performing drug delivery, controls the release of a first substance in the medium in response to receiving a first output signal from the one or more output signals and controls the release of a second substance in the medium in response to receiving a second output signal from the one or more output signals, wherein the one or more output signals are synchronized;the one or more control signals directs the electrical stimulator module to generate one or more output signals that have one or more controllable waveforms based on electrical signal parameters for placement on one or more output terminals; andthe feedback module automatically adjusts the one or more control signals in response to receiving updated sensor information, wherein the adjusted control signals direct the electrical stimulator module to adjust at least one of the electrical signal parameters that include any of amplitude, frequency, shape, timing parameters, phase, pulse duration, and pulse repetition rate, wherein the generated and adjusted output signals are placed on a bus, and wherein a selection module selects as an output signal one of the plurality of generated and adjusted output signals on the bus for availability by the one or more output terminals.
