Abstract

A proctoring system that includes a communication device coupled to a remote station. The remote station has a visual display that displays first information relating to an action that causes an effect on an object, and simultaneously displays second information relating to the effect on the object. The remote station includes at least one input device that allows a communication to be transmitted by an operator to the communication device. By way of example, during the deployment of a heart stent, a specialist doctor may remotely view real-time fluoroscopy imagery and patient hemodynamics. The specialist can remotely proctor medical personnel on the proper orientation and timing requirements for installing the stent.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A proctoring system, comprising:
a communication device at a first location, the first location including a patient, said communication device is coupled to a network and transmits first information and second information, said first information includes real-time fluoroscopy images of said patient received from a fluoroscope coupled to said communication device and said second information includes real-time hemodynamic data of said patient received from a medical monitoring device coupled to said communication device; and,
a remote station at a second location, said remote station is coupled to said communication device and receives said first and second information via the network, said remote station having a visual display that simultaneously displays said first information and said second information, wherein the display of said first information and the display of said second information are synchronized using time stamps inserted into the first and second information before transmission to said remote station, and said remote station includes at least one input device that allows a communication to be transmitted by an operator at said second location to said communication device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said communication device includes a monitor and a speaker.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said communication device includes a mobile platform that is controlled through said remote station.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said remote station displays a latency that represents a network delay between a local capture of said first information and said second information, and a remote display of said first and second information.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said remote station displays an indicator that relates to whether a latency exceeds a threshold.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said at least one input device of said remote station includes a camera and a microphone.
