Abstract

Continuous clinical evaluation and care adjustment in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) environments is provided. In various embodiments, an evaluation protocol is read from a datastore. The evaluation protocol comprises a plurality of tasks. Each of the plurality of tasks are presented to a user via a virtual or augmented reality display. Positional data are collected from a plurality of sensors. The positional data is received at a remote server and compared to the evaluation protocol to determine a score reflecting the clinical evaluation of the user based on the performance of the plurality of tasks. Whether the score differs from a predetermined threshold is determined at the remote server. A healthcare regimen is adjusted when the score differs from the threshold.

Claims (61)

1 . A method comprising:

providing a virtual environment to a user via a virtual or augmented reality system, the virtual or augmented reality system comprising a head-mounted display;

reading an evaluation protocol from a datastore, the evaluation protocol comprising a plurality of tasks;

presenting each of the plurality of tasks to a user via the virtual or augmented reality display;

collecting positional data of the user, wherein collecting positional data comprises collecting positional data of the head-mounted display;

receiving the positional data at a remote server;

comparing, at the remote server, the positional data to the evaluation protocol to determine a score, the score reflecting a clinical evaluation of the user based on the performance of the plurality of tasks;

determining, at the remote server, whether the score differs from a predetermined threshold; and

adjusting a healthcare regimen when the score differs from the threshold.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the datastore comprises an electronic health record.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising recording an adjustment from adjusting the healthcare regimen in the electronic health record.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising sending the adjustment to a healthcare payer.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the healthcare regimen comprises notifying a healthcare provider of an adjustment.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the adjustment comprises an increase in number of visits from a healthcare provider.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the adjustment comprises a decrease in number of visits from a healthcare provider.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising collecting biometric data from the user.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the biometric data comprises eye movement collected with a camera.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the biometric data comprises breathing rate collected with a microphone.

12 . (canceled)

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the score is an updated score, the method further comprising:

determining a baseline score corresponding to a baseline health care regimen;

comparing the updated score to the baseline score; and

adjusting the healthcare regimen when the updated score differs from the baseline score.

14 . A system comprising:

a datastore;

a virtual or augmented reality display adapted to display a virtual environment to a user;

a plurality of sensors coupled to the user;

a computing node comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of the computing node to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

providing a virtual environment to a user via a virtual or augmented reality system, the virtual or augmented reality system comprising a head-mounted display;

reading an evaluation protocol from the datastore, the evaluation protocol comprising a plurality of tasks;

presenting each of the plurality of tasks to the user via the virtual or augmented reality display;

collecting positional data of the user, wherein collecting positional data comprises collecting positional data of the head-mounted display;

receiving the positional data at a remote server;

comparing, at the remote server, the positional data to the evaluation protocol to determine a score, the score reflecting a clinical evaluation of the user based on the performance of the plurality of tasks;

determining, at the remote server, whether the score differs from a predetermined threshold; and

adjusting a healthcare regimen when the score differs from the threshold.

15 - 26 . (canceled)

27 . A computer program product for continuous clinical evaluation and care adjustment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

reading an evaluation protocol from a datastore, the evaluation protocol comprising a plurality of tasks;

presenting each of the plurality of tasks to a user via a virtual or augmented reality display, the display comprising a head-mounted display;

collecting positional data of the user, wherein collecting positional data comprises collecting positional data of the head-mounted display;

receiving the positional data at a remote server;

comparing, at the remote server, the positional data to the evaluation protocol to determine a score, the score reflecting a clinical evaluation of the user based on the performance of the plurality of tasks;

determining, at the remote server, whether the score differs from a predetermined threshold; and

adjusting a healthcare regimen when the score differs from the threshold.

28 . The computer program product of claim 27 , wherein the datastore comprises an electronic health record.

29 . The computer program product of claim 28 , further comprising recording an adjustment from adjusting the healthcare regimen in the electronic health record.

30 . (canceled)

31 . The computer program product of claim 27 , wherein adjusting the healthcare regimen comprises notifying a healthcare provider of an adjustment.

32 . (canceled)

33 . (canceled)

34 . The computer program product of claim 27 , further comprising collecting biometric data from the user.

35 . The computer program product of claim 34 , wherein the biometric data comprises eye movement collected with a camera.

36 . (canceled)

37 . The computer program product of claim 34 , wherein the biometric data comprises breathing rate collected with a microphone.

38 . (canceled)

39 . The computer program product of claim 27 , wherein the score is an updated score, the method further comprising:

determining a baseline score corresponding to a baseline health care regimen;

comparing the updated score to the baseline score; and

adjusting the healthcare regimen when the updated score differs from the baseline score.
