Mark Peter Ottensmeyer - Cambridge MA, US
Joseph Thomas Samosky - Newton MA, US
Steven L. Dawson - Carlisle MA, US
International Classification:
G09B 23/30
US Classification:
434267
Abstract:

US Patent:
20120156665, Jun 21, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/376410
Inventors:
Joseph T. Samosky - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
University of Pittsburgh - Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G09B 23/28
US Classification:
434262
Abstract:
A medical procedure training system and method for using is provided. The system includes a sensing system structured to detect the position and motion of a medical device inserted into a simulated body, a processor structured to generate images of the medical device and relevant anatomical structures based on the detected position and motion of the medical device, and a display system structured to display the images in a correct registration on the outer surface of the simulated body.

Augmented Chest Tube Drainage System And Method With Volume Sensing, Automated Alerts And Messaging Capability

View page
US Patent:
20130165877, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/724904
Inventors:
Cory E. Leeson - Pittsburgh PA, US
Joseph Thomas Samosky - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
University of Pittsburgh-of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61M 27/00
US Classification:
604318
Abstract:
Systems and methods that can augment conventional chest tube drainage canisters are discussed. One such system can monitor a chest tube drainage canister that collects fluid and includes a volume sensor that can determine a volume of the fluid. Such a system can also include a control component that calculates a flow rate of the fluid. The control component can compares the volume and the flow rate with one or more predetermined conditions, and the control component provides at least one notification to a healthcare professional when at least one of the predetermined conditions are met. Additionally, a user interface can be provided for monitoring fluid volume and flow rate, entering alerts capable of defining conditions for notification of healthcare professionals, and entering contact information for automatic notification of healthcare professionals via email or text message in connection with the alerts.

Hybrid Physical-Virtual Reality Simulation For Clinical Training Capable Of Providing Feedback To A Physical Anatomic Model

View page
US Patent:
20130323700, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Feb 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/980500
Inventors:
Joseph T. Samosky - Pittsburgh PA, US
Robert Weaver - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
University of Pittsburgh - Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G09B 23/28
US Classification:
434262
Abstract:
Systems and methods facilitating training in clinical procedures via mixed reality simulations are disclosed. Such a system can comprise a physical model and a virtual model of an anatomic region associated with the procedure, wherein the virtual model associates tissue types with locations in the physical model. The system can include a tracking component that tracks locations of at least one clinical instrument relative to the models, and an anatomic feedback component that can produce perceptible changes in the physical model based on the interaction between the instrument and virtual model. A clinical device interface can detect outputs of clinical devices like electrical signals, pressure or flow, wherein feedback to the physical model depends on the tracked position of a clinical device and output from the same or different clinical device. Another component can generate feedback effects to the clinical device. Aspects can simulate anesthesiology procedures like local nerve blockade.
