Abstract

A computer-implemented system for a remote examination is disclosed. The computer-implemented system includes a treatment device, a master console, a user interface, and a control system. The treatment device comprises one or more slave sensors and a slave pressure system, the treatment device configured to be manipulated while a patient performs a treatment plan. The master console comprises a master device. The user interface comprises an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session. The control system comprises one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the master console and the treatment device. The one or more processing devices are configured to receive slave sensor data from the one or more slave sensors, use a manipulation of the master device to generate a manipulation instruction, transmit the manipulation instruction, and during the telemedicine session, use the manipulation instruction to cause the slave pressure system to activate.

Claims (85)

1. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

a treatment device comprising one or more slave sensors and a slave pressure system, the treatment device configured to be manipulated while a patient performs a treatment plan;

a master console comprising a master device;

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

receive slave sensor data from the one or more slave sensors;

use a manipulation of the master device to generate a manipulation instruction;

transmit the manipulation instruction; and

during the telemedicine session, use the manipulation instruction to cause the slave pressure system to activate.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements;

wherein the master device comprises a master pressure system; and

wherein, using the slave force measurements, the one or more processing devices are further configured to activate the master pressure system.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the master device comprises a pressure gradient; and

wherein, using the pressure gradient, the one or more processing devices are configured to cause the slave pressure system to apply one or more measured levels of force to one or more sections of the treatment device.

4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the treatment device comprises at least one of a physical therapy device, a brace, a mat, and a wrap.

5. A system for a remote examination of a patient, comprising:

a master console comprising a master device;

a treatment device comprising one or more slave sensors and a slave pressure system; and

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

receive slave sensor data from the one or more slave sensors;

use a manipulation of the master device to generate a manipulation instruction;

transmit the manipulation instruction; and

use the manipulation instruction to cause the slave pressure system to activate.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the master device comprises master sensors for detecting master sensor data correlating with the manipulation; and

wherein the manipulation instruction is based on the master sensor data.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements;

wherein the master device comprises a master pressure system; and

wherein, using the slave force measurements, the one or more processing devices are further configured to activate the master pressure system.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

a second master device comprising a second master pressure system;

wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements; and

wherein, using the slave force measurements, the one or more processing devices are further configured to activate the second master pressure system.

9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processing devices are further configured to:

use the slave sensor data to transmit an augmented image to a master display.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements;

wherein the augmented image comprises one or more pressure indicators; and

wherein the one or more pressure indicators are based on the slave force measurements.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave temperature measurements;

wherein the augmented image comprises one or more temperature indicators; and

wherein the one or more temperature indicators are based on the slave temperature measurements.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the augmented image comprises a representation of at least one of the treatment device and a body part of the patient, and wherein the representation is in 2D or 3D.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the manipulation instruction comprises a measured level of force; and

wherein the measured level of force is based on a proximity of the master device to the representation.

14. The system of claim 5 , wherein the master device comprises a pressure gradient; and

wherein, using the pressure gradient, the one or more processing devices are configured to cause the slave pressure system to apply one or more measured levels of force to one or more sections of the treatment device.

15. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processing devices are further configured to:

transmit the manipulation instruction in real-time or near real-time; and

cause the slave pressure system to activate in real-time or near real-time.

16. The system of claim 5 , wherein the master device comprises at least one of a glove device, a joystick, and a model of the treatment device.

17. A system for a remote examination of a patient, comprising:

a master console comprising a master device;

a treatment device comprising one or more slave sensors and a slave pressure system; and

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

receive slave sensor data from the one or more slave sensors;

transmit the slave sensor data;

use the manipulation instruction to activate the slave pressure system.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the manipulation instruction is based on a manipulation of the master device.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the master device comprises master sensors for detecting master sensor data correlating with the manipulation; and

wherein the manipulation instruction is based on the master sensor data.

20. The system of claim 17 , further comprising:

a second master device comprising a second master pressure system;

wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements; and

wherein, using the slave force measurements, the one or more processing devices are further configured to activate the second master pressure system.

21. The system of claim 20 , wherein the slave sensor data comprises slave force measurements;

wherein the master device comprises a master pressure system; and

wherein, using the slave force measurements, the one or more processing devices are further configured to cause the master pressure system to activate.
