Abstract
A diagnostic system includes a sensor configured to generate signals associated with physiological parameters, a proximity sensor, a positioning sensor, and a software application configured to operate on a control system adapted to receive and process physiological information including a touch-screen, a mechanical system having actuators, and a wireless transmitter to transmit data over a wireless link to a host. The software application is operable to generate the physiological information using the signals from the sensor. The control system receives voice and manually entered input signals. The host generates status information from the date and includes a memory storage device for recording the status information and a communication device for communicating the status information over a communication link to one or more display output devices located remotely from the host.
