Medical System

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention describes a medical system designed for the treatment and examination of patients, featuring an examination device (like a CT or MRI scanner), a patient bed whose position can be adjusted relative to the device, and a special doctor’s platform or seat. The doctor’s position is automatically adjusted in sync with the movement of the patient bed, ensuring optimal working conditions during minimally invasive procedures. The system can also include tracking for medical instruments, allowing automatic bed and doctor position adjustments to maintain precise alignment between the patient, doctor, and imaging system.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Minimally invasive interventions (e.g., biopsies, ablations) under image guidance (CT, MRI)
• Real-time guided surgeries where the doctor must stay aligned with the patient’s position
• Radiology procedures requiring frequent repositioning of the patient and imaging equipment
• Interventions that involve tracking and guiding medical instruments inside the body
• Clinics or hospitals aiming to improve ergonomics and precision during complex examinations and treatments

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Automatic and synchronized adjustment of both patient bed and doctor’s position enhances safety and workflow efficiency.
• Reduces cognitive and physical burden on healthcare providers, allowing them to maintain focus on the procedure instead of repositioning themselves.
• Minimizes risk of accidental injury by keeping doctor and patient properly aligned during movements.
• Improves accuracy during instrument-guided interventions by maintaining optimal visualization and access.
• Can adapt to various room setups without the need for major structural changes, making it suitable for different medical facilities.
• Enhances patient comfort and reduces procedure time by optimizing motion and workflow.
