A Point-of-care diagnosis system for emergency ultrasound: Prototype system implementation

In Point-of-care (POC) applications, the need of a diagnosis imaging tool (e.g., portable ultrasound) combined with a physiological monitoring device (e.g., echocardiogram) is rapidly growing since it is essential for effectively evaluating patient´s condition. In this paper, a new POC diagnosis system is presented, which can simultaneously provide ultrasound imaging and vital biosignal information for immediate diagnosis on the urgent signs of internal injuries, e.g., hemoperitoneum, hemopericardium, hemothorax, and pneumothorax.
