Abstract

The portable handheld medical diagnostic tool incorporates camcorder technology and combines multiple diagnostic attachments commonly use by physicians and medical personnel. When attached with various portable instruments, it can be a powerful tool for teaching, diagnostics, therapy of illnesses by virtue of real-time video, audio and other sensory feed on the portable handheld medical diagnostic tool. Video, audio and sensory data can then be transfer to computers or other electronic systems for medical presentation and training or for medical diagnostics. This ability is presently not available.
