SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDICAL INSTRUMENT PATIENT MEASUREMENTS
Presented are systems and methods that provide diagnostic measurement tools that enable even laymen to reliably and accurately perform clinical-grade diagnostic measurements of key vital signs with little or no intervention by a health care professional. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by using an automated medical diagnostic system that provides clear and concise audio/video guidance to the patient and monitors the patient's equipment usage to generate high-accuracy measurement data that may be analyzed locally and shared with health care professionals and specialists, as needed.
1 . An automated diagnosis and treatment method comprising:
at a user interface, receiving a first set of patient-related data comprising medical data and non-medical data;
in response to verifying at least a portion of the first set of patient-related data, retrieving a second set of patient-related data from at least one of an electronic health record (EHR) or a healthcare provider;
providing to a patient instructions for operating a set of medical instruments to generate diagnostic medical data;
in response to receiving at least some of the diagnostic medical data, automatically generating, using at least part of the diagnostic medical data and the patient-related data, a medical report, the medical report comprising two or more of the patient-related data, a medical code, a lab order, a chart, a medical diagnosis, and a treatment suggestion;
communicating at least some of the medical report to a medical professional to obtain a treatment approval notification;
in response to receiving the treatment approval notification, generating a visit report for the patient; and
using at least some of the medical report to automatically update the EHR.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein verifying at least a portion of the patient-related data comprises using the patient information to verify the identity of the patient.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient medical data comprises vital signs data related to a medical symptom.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein verifying comprises accessing the EHR.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second set of patient-related data compromises a lab report.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the lab order comprises an order for an imaging process.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the visit report comprises automatically ordering a prescription.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining a measurement accuracy for at least some of the set of medical instruments.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the diagnostic medical data comprises patient-generated data.
10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient instructions comprise information on how to improve the measurement accuracy of at least some of the set of medical instruments.
11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment approval notification comprises an accuracy confirmation.
12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the medical report is generated by a trained machine learning system.
13 . An automated diagnosis and treatment method comprising:
at a user interface, receiving a first set of patient-related data comprising medical data and non-medical data;
in response to verifying at least a portion of the first set of patient-related data, retrieving a second set of patient-related data from at least one of an electronic health record (EHR) or a healthcare provider;
providing to a patient instructions for operating a set of medical instruments to generate diagnostic medical data;
in response to receiving at least some of the diagnostic medical data, automatically generating, using at least part of the diagnostic medical data and the patient-related data, a medical report, the medical report comprising two or more of the patient-related data, a medical code, a lab order, a chart, a medical diagnosis, and a treatment suggestion;
generating a visit report for the patient; and
using at least some of the medical report to automatically update the EHR.
14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the patient medical data comprises vital signs data related to a medical symptom.
15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein generating the visit report comprises automatically ordering a prescription.
16 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the second set of patient-related data compromises a lab report.
17 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the lab order comprises an order for an imaging process.
18 . A diagnosis and treatment system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause steps to be performed, the steps comprising:
receiving a first set of patient-related data comprising medical data and non-medical data;
in response to verifying at least a portion of the first set of patient-related data, retrieving a second set of patient-related data from at least one of an electronic health record (EHR) or a healthcare provider;
providing to a patient instructions for operating a set of medical instruments to generate diagnostic medical data;
in response to receiving at least some of the diagnostic medical data, automatically generating, using at least part of the diagnostic medical data and the patient-related data, a medical report, the medical report comprising two or more of the patient-related data, a medical code, a lab order, a chart, a medical diagnosis, and a treatment suggestion;
generating a visit report for the patient; and
using at least some of the medical report to automatically update the EHR.
19 . The system according to claim 18 , wherein generating the visit report comprises automatically ordering a prescription.
20 . The system according to claim 18 , wherein the second set of patient-related data compromises a lab report.
