Abstract

The present disclosure describes various aspects of remote presence interfaces (RPIs) for use on portable electronic devices (PEDs) to interface with remote presence devices. An RPI may allow a user to interact with a telepresence device, view a live video feed, provide navigational instructions, and/or otherwise interact with the telepresence device. The RPI may allow a user to manually, semi-autonomously, or autonomously control the movement of the telepresence device. One or more panels associated with a video feed, patient data, calendars, date, time, telemetry data, PED data, telepresence device data, healthcare facility information, healthcare practitioner information, menu tabs, settings controls, and/or other features may be utilized via the RPI.

Claims (29)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

retrieving a list of patients;

selectively displaying the list of patients;

receiving a selection of a patient from the patient list;

retrieving an endpoint list including a plurality of remote presence devices and one or more medical professionals currently associated with particular patients or scheduled to be associated with particular patients for a period of time to which the respective remote presence devices can navigate;

displaying the endpoint list;

receiving a filtering parameter including a name of a medical professional;

filtering the endpoint list to display only endpoints associated with the name of the medical professional in the filtering parameter;

receiving a selection of a remote presence device from the filtered endpoint list;

communicatively connecting an electronic device to the selected remote presence device;

displaying a live video feed from a camera of the selected remote presence device in a video panel on an electronic display of the electronic device; and

updating the live video feed as the selected remote presence device moves to the selected patient.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operation of communicatively connecting an electronic device to a remote presence device is responsive to receiving a selection of a remote presence device from the endpoint list.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the filtering parameter includes at least one of endpoint type, manufacturer, status, facility, building, floor, room, customer, and group.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the endpoint list includes a name of a person.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the endpoint list includes at least one of a room name or a room number.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the endpoint list includes a name of a person that is scheduled for a period of time to be associated with the selected patient.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

selectively displaying a toolbar comprising at least one selectable setting function associated with at least one of the electronic device and the remote presence device.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

selectively displaying a plurality of destination locations within a healthcare facility;

receiving a selection of one of the plurality of destination locations within the healthcare facility as a navigation input; and

transmitting navigation instructions associated with the selected destination location to the remote presence device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

selectively displaying a map of a healthcare facility associated with the remote presence device, and

wherein the navigation input is provided with respect to the map.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection of an avatar to visually represent an operator of the electronic device; and

transmitting the selected avatar to the remote presence device.
