Synergistic Ultrasound Imaging System with AI, IoT, Blockchain, and Personalized Presets
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
A comprehensive ultrasound imaging system integrating AI, IoT, blockchain, and personalized presets to provide enhanced image analysis, real-time processing, and secure data sharing, revolutionizing the field of ultrasound diagnostics.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent, 'System and method for graphical user interface with filter for ultrasound image presets,' provided a graphical user interface for configuring ultrasound systems with imaging parameter values. However, it had limitations in terms of data analysis, processing, and sharing. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by integrating distinct technologies to create a more powerful system.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The Synergistic Ultrasound Imaging System consists of a blockchain-based decentralized data storage module for storing and sharing ultrasound image data, a machine learning module for analyzing the stored data, and a graphical user interface for visualizing the analyzed data. The system also incorporates an IoT-enabled ultrasound device for collecting and transmitting ultrasound data, a cloud-based computing platform for processing the data, and a mobile application for receiving and visualizing the processed data. Additionally, the system includes a database of patient-specific ultrasound image presets, a machine learning module for recommending optimal presets based on patient data, and a graphical user interface for selecting and applying the recommended presets.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new inventive concept's integration of AI, IoT, blockchain, and personalized presets with the original patented graphical user interface provides a non-obvious and novel solution for ultrasound image analysis, processing, and sharing. The synergistic combination of these technologies enables real-time processing, secure data sharing, and personalized imaging, which is not taught by the original patent.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different machine learning algorithms, integrating additional technologies such as augmented reality or 5G networks, or applying the system to other medical imaging modalities. Variations could also include different user interfaces, data storage solutions, or encryption methods.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The Synergistic Ultrasound Imaging System has significant commercial potential in the medical imaging industry, particularly in hospitals, clinics, and research institutions. The system's ability to provide enhanced image analysis, real-time processing, and secure data sharing makes it an attractive solution for healthcare providers seeking to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
