Title: | Automated testing for palpating diabetic foot patient | Authors: | Leung, WFW Lau, KTA |
Issue Date: | 28-Apr-2015 | Source: | US Patent 9,017,266 B2. Washington, DC: US Patent and Trademark Office, 2015. | Abstract: | The present invention teaches a system for the automated palpation testing of a patient, including the use of a robotic device with a actuating element thereto. The system is useful for testing patients at risk of nerve degradation, such as diabetic sufferers. The system includes a controller for programming the robotic device to administer the test in a particular pattern, and a storage medium for storing the results of the test. The system allows a more accurate determination of the stage of nerve degradation, as well as being more standardized because of the inclusion of automation technology. | Rights: | Assignee: The Hong Kong Polytechnic Univeristy. |
