ANALYSIS ENGINE WITHIN A NETWORK SUPPORTING INTRAVAGINAL MONITORING
First Claim
1. A support architecture used to service a female reproductive system, the support architecture comprising:
- a communication link;
a computing device;
an optical imaging device coupled to the computing device via the communication link;
the optical imaging device, when at least partially inserted within the female reproductive system via a vaginal channel, collects image data relating to at least portion of the female reproductive system; and
the computing device at least assisting in generation of status information, the generation of the status information involving an analysis of the image data collected.

Abstract
An intravaginal monitoring device in a supporting network, and including supporting devices such as servers, computing devices and phone (of both medical staff and patients), together participate to collect, exchange and display data relating to a female reproductive system. Therein, and within one or many of such systems, analysis operations are performed to at least assist in reaching conclusions relating to a status of the reproductive system under service. As input to the analysis operations, one or more of, for example, (i) current and historical sensor data of varying types such as imager, temperature, pH, glucose, EKG, etc.; (ii) general medical information; (iii) patient and medical staff input; and (iv) input from other medical systems or processes. The output of analysis operations at least assists in the drawing of intermediate and final status conclusions. Analysis operations are supported by various visual working environments tailored for patients, medical staff, and third party computing systems.

6. A method associated with a female reproductive system, the method comprising:
-
retrieving optical imager data related to a target area within the female reproductive system, the target area being accessible via a vaginal channel of the female reproductive system; performing an automated analysis of the optical imager data; and producing information based on the analysis, the information at least assisting in identifying a status for at least a portion of the female reproductive system. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method used by a computing device that interacts with a monitoring device, the monitoring device having an optical imager that captures imager data from a female reproductive system via a vaginal channel, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first portion of the imager data, the first portion of the imager data having been captured by the optical imager during a first imaging session; storing the first portion of the imager data; receiving a second portion of the imager data, the second portion of the imager data having been captured by the optical imager during a second imaging session; retrieving the first portion of the imager data from storage; comparing the first portion of the imager data with the second portion of the imager data; and producing, based at least in part on the comparison, status information relating to at least a portion of the female reproductive system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
