Abstract

A computer-implemented system comprising a treatment device, a patient interface, and a processing device is disclosed. The treatment device is configured to be manipulated by a user while the user performs a treatment plan. The patient interface comprises an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session. The processing device is configured to receive a treatment plan for a patient; during the telemedicine session, use the treatment plan to generate at least one parameter; and responsive to at least one trigger condition occurring, control at least one operation of the device.

Claims (65)

1. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user performs a treatment plan;

a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session; and

a processing device configured to:

receive a treatment plan for a patient;

during the telemedicine session, use the treatment plan to generate at least one parameter; and

responsive to at least one trigger condition occurring, control at least one operation of the treatment device, while the treatment device is operating, to facilitate user compliance with the treatment plan.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the treatment device comprises a sensor for detecting data associated with the at least one operation.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processing device is configured to receive the data from the sensor in real-time or near real-time.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein, to determine the at least one trigger condition, the one or more processing devices are configured to use at least one of the data, the at least one parameter, and a patient input.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the at least one operation of the device comprises causing the device to modify at least one of a volume, a pressure, a resistance, an angle, a speed, an angular or rotational velocity, and a time period.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter is at least one of a force parameter, a resistance parameter, a range of motion parameter, a temperature parameter, a pain level parameter, an exercise session parameter, a vital sign parameter, and a time parameter.

7. A system for enabling a remote adjustment of a device, comprising:

a control system comprising one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the device, wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to:

receive a treatment plan for a patient;

use the treatment plan to generate at least one parameter; and

responsive to at least one trigger condition occurring, control at least one operation of the device, while the treatment device is operating, to facilitate user compliance with the treatment plan.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the device comprises a sensor for detecting data associated with the at least one operation.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to receive the data from the sensor in real-time or near real-time.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein, to determine the at least one trigger condition, the one or more processing devices are configured to use at least one of the data, the at least one parameter, and a patient input.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the controlling of the at least one operation of the device comprises causing the device to modify at least one of a volume, a pressure, a resistance, an angle, a speed, an angular or rotational velocity, and a time period.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter is at least one of a force parameter, a resistance parameter, a range of motion parameter, a temperature parameter, a pain level parameter, an exercise session parameter, a vital sign parameter, and a time parameter.

13. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to receive the treatment plan from a clinical portal.

14. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processing devices are further configured to:

transmit a notification to a clinical portal in real-time or near real-time;

receive at least one adjusted parameter in real-time or near real-time; and

using the at least one adjusted parameter, control the at least one operation of the device in real-time or near real-time.

15. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processing devices are further configured to:

transmit a notification to a clinical portal;

receive at least one adjusted parameter; and

using the at least one adjusted parameter, control the at least one operation of the device at a time subsequent to receiving the at least one adjusted parameter.

16. The system of claim 7 , wherein the device comprises at least one of a physical therapy device, a brace, a cap, a mat, and a wrap.

17. A method for enabling a remote adjustment of a device, comprising:

receiving a treatment plan for a patient;

using the treatment plan to generate at least one parameter; and

responsive to at least one trigger condition occurring, controlling at least one operation of the device, while the treatment device is operating, to facilitate user compliance with the treatment plan.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the device comprises a sensor for detecting data associated with the at least one operation.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the data is received from the sensor in real-time or near real-time.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

to determine the at least one trigger condition, using at least one of the data, the at least one parameter, and a patient input.

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the controlling of the at least one operation of the device comprises causing the device to modify at least one of a volume, a pressure, a resistance, an angle, a speed, an angular or rotational velocity, and a time period.

22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one parameter is at least one of a force parameter, a resistance parameter, a range of motion parameter, a temperature parameter, a pain level parameter, an exercise session parameter, a vital sign parameter, and a time parameter.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the treatment plan is received from a clinical portal.

24. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

transmitting a notification to a clinical portal in real-time or near real-time;

receiving at least one adjusted parameter in real-time or near real-time; and

using the adjusted parameter to control the at least one operation of the device in real-time or near real-time.

25. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

transmitting a notification to a clinical portal;

receiving at least one adjusted parameter; and

using the at least one adjusted parameter to control the at least one operation of the device at a time subsequent to receiving the at least one adjusted parameter.

26. The method of claim 17 , wherein the device comprises at least one of a physical therapy device, a brace, a cap, a mat, and a wrap.

27. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:

receive a treatment plan for a patient;

use the treatment plan to generate at least one parameter; and

responsive to at least one trigger condition occurring, control at least one operation of a device, while the treatment device is operating, to facilitate user compliance with the treatment plan.

28. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 27 , wherein the treatment plan is received from a clinical portal.

29. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 27 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

transmit a notification to a clinical portal in real-time or near real-time;

receive at least one adjusted parameter in real-time or near real-time; and

using the at least one adjusted parameter, control the at least one operation of the device in real-time or near real-time.

30. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 27 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

transmit a notification to a clinical portal;

receive at least one adjusted parameter; and
