Abstract

A system and method that generates a physiological imagery of one or more parts of a patient's body are provided. The system and method combine one or more parameters relating to a particular part of the body and then generates the physiological imagery for the part of the body wherein the physiological imagery may have a characteristic that changes based on the state of the patient.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein received parameters comprise at least one parameter selected from a list consisting of: health of an organ or an organ system, health of the patient, a drug therapy analysis and a treatment intensity. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the received parameters comprise a health of an organ or an organ system, wherein the physiological imagery is an image of the organ or organ system and wherein the physiological imagery comprises a color of the image of the organ or organ system to indicate a severity of the injury to the organ or organ system. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein received parameters comprise a drug therapy analysis, wherein the physiological imagery is a bar chart of one or more indicators of the drug therapy analysis and wherein the physiological imagery comprises a color and a length of the bar chart that indicates an action to be taken by a doctor with respect to the drug therapy. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the received parameters comprise a treatment intensity, wherein the physiological imagery is a bar chart of one or more indicators of the treatment intensity and wherein the physiological imagery further comprises a color and a length of the bar chart that indicate an action to be taken by a doctor with respect to the treatment intensity. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more indicators represent at least one of: a treatment intensity efficacy indication, a treatment procedure intensity indication, a lifestyle intensity indication and a monitoring indication. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a physician unit,
 coupled over a link to the physiological imagery unit device, the physician unit being configured to display the physiological imagery so that a user visualizes the medical state of the patient. 
 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the physiological imagery unit device further comprises the computer implemented physiological image generator so that the physiological imagery is generated on the physiological imagery unit device and wherein the physiological imagery unit device communicates the physiological imagery to the physician unit. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the physician unit further comprises one of a personal computer, a terminal, a laptop computer, a mobile device, a pocket PC device, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a mobile phone and a mobile email device. 
     
     
         11 . A method for generating physiological imagery of an organ of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
 receiving one or more parameters about a medical state of one of an organ of a patient;   generating physiological imagery of the organ for the patient using an algorithm comprising a multi-factorial Boolean expression that is specific to the organ based on the one or more parameters, said multi-factorial Boolean expression determining an appearance characteristic of the generated imagery, the physiological imagery being one of the organ; and   changing a display characteristic of the physiological imagery based on the medical state of the organ of a patient as indicated by an output of the Boolean expression.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the characteristic of the physiological imagery is a color of the physiological imagery and wherein generating the physiological imagery of the patient further comprises generating the physiological imagery having one or more different colors based on the state of the patient as indicated by the one or more parameters. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the received parameters is selected from a group consisting of: health of an organ or an organ system, health of the patient, a drug therapy analysis and a treatment intensity. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the received parameters is selected from a group consisting of: health of an organ or an organ system, wherein the physiological imagery is an image of the organ or organ system and wherein changing the characteristic of the physiological imagery further comprises changing a color of the image of the organ or organ system to indicate a severity of an injury to the organ or organ system. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the received parameters comprise data representing an analysis of a drug therapy, wherein the physiological imagery is a bar chart of one or more indicators of the result of the analysis of the drug therapy and wherein changing the characteristic of the physiological imagery further comprises changing one of a color and a length of the one or more indicators to indicate an action to be taken by a doctor with respect to the drug therapy. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the received parameters comprise data representing a treatment intensity, wherein the physiological imagery is a bar chart of one or more indicators of the treatment intensity and wherein changing the characteristic of the physiological imagery further comprises changing one of a color and a length of the one or more indicators to indicate an action to be taken by a doctor with respect to the treatment intensity. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising viewing the one or more parameters about a medical state of a patient associated with the physiological imagery by using a pointing device to point to the physiological imagery.
