A device is disclosed that enables a physician to remotely perform a physical examination of a patient. The device includes a hand control unit ( ) that is shaped to accommodate a physicians hand, and includes a number of sensory modulation subunits ( ) that can simultaneously detect applied pressure and exert pressure back to the physician. The hand control unit ( ) connects through a computer ( ) to a remote patient examination module ( ). The patient examination module ( ) interfaces with a remotely located patient, preferably by wrapping around the portion of the patients body that is to be examined. The patient examination module ( ) includes a plurality of sensory modulation subunits ( ) arranged in an array forming a flexible pad ( ). In operation the sensory modulation subunits ( ) of the patient examination module ( ) receive a signal from the hand control unit ( ) that indicates the location and magnitude of pressures applied to the hand control unit ( ) by the physician, and replicates that pressure in the patient through the sensory modulation subunits ( ), which simultaneously detect the responsive pressures exerted by the corresponding portions of the patients body. The magnitude and location of these responsive pressures are converted to a digital signal that is fed back to the hand control unit ( ) sensory modulation subunits ( ), providing the physician with a tactile response simulating direct contact with the patient.

A teleconferencing system is disclosed that enables patient and physician teleconferencing stations () to communicate over a global network (), wherein the teleconferencing stations include access to a database of electronic medical records (). The system includes means for instant text messaging (), audio/video conferencing (), and secure e-mail exchange (). The patient and physician have differential access to the electronic medical records, such that the electronic medical records can be updated. The physician station includes means for capturing image data received from the patient station and storing the captured image data into a medical record. In the preferred embodiment the system is able to teleconference more than two stations at a time. In the preferred embodiment, the physician station includes means for entering a prescription () and for entering hospital orders ().

A patient-centric medical record access and control method is disclosed wherein the patient has full read privileges and limited write privileges to the patient's electronic medical record account, and further wherein the patient can designate specific individual and institutional healthcare providers with access to the patients EMR account, and can limit access by previously designated providers. In an embodiment of the method, the patient is provided with a selectable list of providers, and selects one or more providers for access. The selected providers receive access, notification and demographic information on the patient. In another aspect, the patient can removably designate a guardian to have access generally the same as the patient's access to the EMR account. In another aspect of the invention, the selected providers can optionally terminate their write access to the EMR account, and termination notification is provided to the patient.

One embodiment of an imaging exam assembly () for palpating a body and obtaining images of the body is provided. The imaging exam assembly includes a housing () having a variable pressure-producing device () disposed at least partially within the housing, the variable pressure-producing device operable to generate a palpation pressure upon the body. The imaging exam assembly further includes an imaging device () disposed at least partially within the housing, the imaging device operable to obtain images of the body to determine an impact of the palpation pressure upon the body.

A tactile garment, such as a gaming vest () or other garment or body-enveloping device. A pneumatic force-generating device () is embedded in the vest in multiple cell zones for selectively applying a modulated force to a user wearing the multi-layered vest. A compressed air source comprising a compressor () and an associated canister () selectively actuates the pneumatic force-generating devices to produce a tactile response. A control valve assembly couples the pneumatic force-generating device to the compressed air source. A controller () selectively opens and closes the control valve to modulate the pneumatic force-generating device and generate forces simulating real forces, such as impact and G-forces. Force sensors may be deployed in the cell zones to provide force data for generating secondary forces.
