System and method for voice control of medical devices
First Claim
1. A medical diagnostic system comprising:
- a software application capable of generating medical data based at least in part on input signals received directly from one or more sensors, wherein the medical data represents at least in part physiological information associated with a patient;
the software application capable of operating on a controller adapted to receive, store and process at least a portion of the physiological information, the controller having a touch-screen, one or more auxiliary input devices, circuitry for obtaining position information from a location sensor, and a wireless transceiver to transmit data over a wireless link, the wireless data comprising at least a portion of the physiological information, wherein the controller is further capable of receiving voice input signals and manually entered input signals; and
a host comprising;
a digital file for receiving and storing at least a portion of the wireless data;
control logic at the host to process at least the portion of the wireless data to generate a medical status of the patient;
a memory storage device for recording the medical status; and
an output for communicating at least a portion of the medical status over a communication link to one or more display output devices, wherein the one or more display output devices are located remotely from the host.

Abstract
A medical diagnostic system and method include a software application capable of generating medical data representing patient physiological information based on input signals received directly from one or more sensors. The application is capable of operating on a controller adapted to receive, store, and process the physiological information and may include a touch-screen, one or more auxiliary input devices, circuitry for obtaining position information from a location sensor, and a wireless transceiver to transmit data that may include patient physiological information over a wireless link. The controller may be capable of receiving voice input signals and manually entered input signals. A host may include a digital file for receiving and storing the wireless data, control logic to process the wireless data to generate a medical status of the patient, and a memory storage device for recording the medical status.

17. A method of processing medical data, the method comprising:
-
providing a software application to a control module, the software application capable of generating medical data based at least in part on input signals received directly from one or more sensors, wherein the medical data represents at least in part physiological parameters associated with a patient, wherein the one or more sensors further provide positioning information, and wherein the medical data further comprises voice input signals and the software application further comprises voice recognition software; receiving at least a portion of the medical data at a medical data processing system over a communication link from the control module, wherein at least a part of the communication link is wireless; storing the received medical data in a digital file at the medical data processing system; processing the medical data in the digital file using control logic at the medical data processing system to generate a medical status of the patient, wherein the medical data processing system further comprises a voice recognition module; recording the medical status within a memory storage device of the medical data processing system; and transmitting at least a portion of the medical status to one or more display output devices, wherein the one or more display output devices are located remotely from the medical data processing system, and wherein the medical data processing system is adapted to permit access of the medical status from two or more different locations remote from the medical data processing system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
