Abstract

An interactive treatment mapping and planning system enables a user to more quickly, thoroughly, and efficiently aggregate fibroid and/or treatment information from a user and/or one or more sets of databases, construct a fibroid map providing a visual representation of the aggregated fibroid information, generate information from the aggregated information about the fibroid to be treated and/or treatment procedure, develop a treatment plan based on the fibroid and/or treatment procedure information, provide real-time information gathered from treatment devices during the treatment procedure, and allow the user to interact with the treatment data.

Core Innovation

The described invention relates to an interactive fibroid treatment mapping and planning system that aggregates fibroid data from one or more data sources and presents an interactive user interface on an electronic display. The user interface includes an interactive fibroid map that displays an image of at least one uterine fibroid, and a visual representation of a fibroid data record item with a marker on the interactive fibroid map at a respective fibroid location associated with the fibroid data record item.

The system receives treatment data from a treatment device, where the treatment data comprises at least one of fibroid treatment order, treatment time, or treatment device information. The interactive fibroid map is updated with the treatment data, including visualization of fibroid treatment status and alerts/warnings, and in some implementations the interactive fibroid map is updated substantially in real-time.

The partial content also describes treatment-plan guidance and real-time dynamic updates from imaging and treatment devices. It further includes display of treatment parameters/graphs on the user interface, generation and export of treatment reports and exploratory reports after termination of procedures, and system architecture elements such as a computing engine, data sources/databases, an ultrasound imaging modality, and an ablation device with radiofrequency generator.

Claims Coverage

The partial content provides two independent claims, both directed to a system that receives fibroid data and renders an interactive user interface with an interactive fibroid map using markers tied to fibroid data record items, and then receives treatment data from a treatment device and updates the interactive fibroid map accordingly. Across the independent claims, the inventive features include marker-based fibroid data record visualization on the interactive fibroid map, treatment-device treatment data updating of the map, and in one independent claim a real-time treatment-site image overlaid by or alongside the fibroid data record item.

Overall, the claim coverage centers on rendering an interactive fibroid map with marker-linked fibroid data record items, receiving treatment data from a treatment device, and updating the interactive fibroid map based on that treatment data, with one independent claim also requiring a real-time treatment-site image overlaid by or alongside the fibroid data record representation.
