Abstract

A computer-implemented system includes a treatment device configured to be manipulated by an individual while the individual performs a treatment plan, a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session, and a computing device configured to: identify two or more types of healthcare providers to participate during the telemedicine session in the treatment plan associated with the individual; identify at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers; identify, based on schedules of the identified at least one healthcare provider, one or more available time slots for each respective healthcare provider; identify a first time slot of the available time slots; generate, based on the first time slot, a schedule event; and communicate the schedule event to each of the identified healthcare providers.

communicate the schedule event to each of the identified healthcare providers.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to:

generate, at the first time slot, a virtual conference room;

display at least one aspect of the virtual conference room; and

authenticate, in response to a request from a user of the virtual conference room to enter the virtual conference room, the user as one of the identified healthcare providers using identity information associated with the one of the identified healthcare providers.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to:

obtain a privacy policy corresponding to at least one of the treatment plan and the individual; and

identify, using the privacy policy, the at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of healthcare providers.

4. A method for remote conferencing for healthcare treatment, the method comprising:

identifying two or more types of healthcare providers to participate in a treatment plan associated with an individual;

identifying at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers;

identifying, based on schedules of the identified at least one healthcare provider, one or more available time slots for each respective healthcare provider;

identifying a first time slot of the available time slots;

generating, based on the first time slot, a schedule event; and

communicating the schedule event to each of the identified healthcare providers.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

generating, at the first time slot, a virtual conference room;

configuring a user interface to display at least one aspect of the virtual conference room; and

authenticating, in response to a request from a user of the virtual conference room to enter the virtual conference room at the user interface, the user as one of the identified healthcare providers using identity information associated with the one of the identified healthcare providers.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein identifying the at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers includes:

obtaining a privacy policy corresponding to at least one of the treatment plan and the individual; and

identifying, using the privacy policy, the at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of healthcare providers.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising ranking the one or more available time slots.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein ranking the one or more available time slots includes ranking the one or more available time slots based on at least one preference of the individual.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein ranking the one or more available time slots includes ranking the one or more available time slots based on at least one time zone corresponding to at least one healthcare provider.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first time slot corresponds to a time slot of the available time slots having a highest rank.

11. The method of claim 4 , further comprising displaying, at a user interface during the first time slot, at least one electronic medical record associated with the individual.

12. The method of claim 4 , further comprising displaying at least one electronic medical record associated with the individual to a subset of healthcare providers of the at least one healthcare providers for each of the two or more types of healthcare providers, at a user interface during the first time slot.

13. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processing device to:

identify two or more types of healthcare providers to participate in a treatment plan associated with an individual;

identify at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers;

identify, based on schedules of the identified at least one healthcare provider, one or more available time slots for each respective healthcare provider;

identify a first time slot of the available time slots;

generate, based on the first time slot, a schedule event; and

communicate the schedule event to each of the identified healthcare providers.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

generate, at the first time slot, a virtual conference room;

configure a user interface to display at least one aspect of the virtual conference room; and

authenticate, in response to a request from a user of the virtual conference room to enter the virtual conference room at the user interface, the user as one of the identified healthcare providers using identity information associated with the one of the identified healthcare providers.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

obtain a privacy policy corresponding to at least one of the treatment plan and the individual; and

identify, using the privacy policy, the at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of healthcare providers.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to rank the one or more available time slots.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to rank the one or more available time slots based on at least one preference of the individual.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the processing device is further configured to rank the one or more available time slots based on at least one time zone corresponding to at least one healthcare provider.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the first time slot corresponds to a time slot of the available time slots having a highest rank.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to display, at a user interface during the first time slot, at least one electronic medical record associated with the individual.

21. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further configured to display at least one electronic medical record associated with the individual to a subset of healthcare providers of the at least one healthcare providers for each of the two or more types of healthcare providers, at a user interface during the first time slot.

22. A system comprising:

identify two or more types of healthcare providers to participate in a treatment plan associated with an individual;

identify at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers;

identify, based on schedules of the identified at least one healthcare provider, one or more available time slots for each respective healthcare provider;

identify a first time slot of the available time slots;

configure a user interface to display at least one aspect of the virtual conference room; and

authenticate, in response to a request from a user of the virtual conference room to enter the virtual conference room at the user interface, the user as one of the identified healthcare providers using identity information associated with the one of the identified healthcare providers.

24. The system of claim 22 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

obtain a privacy policy corresponding to at least one of the treatment plan and the individual; and

identify, using the privacy policy, the at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of healthcare providers.

25. The system of claim 22 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to rank the one or more available time slots.
