Universal device and method to integrate diagnostic testing into treatment in real-time
A method and system for integrated diagnostic testing and real-time treatment that includes a medical data gathering device to capture multiple of source images, where at least one of the source images contains a fiducial marker. The method and system incorporate a low latency encoder to encode the captured source images into a data stream and further includes an environmental sensor device for the capturing of sensor data. A processor is used to contextually modify the source images based on the captured sensor data and the fiducial marker and a transmitting device is used to transmit the contextually modified source images to a display device.
