Abstract

Claims (76)

1. A method for implementing dynamic treatment environments, the method comprising, at a server:

receiving user data from records associated with a user;

generating, based on the user data, a modified treatment; and

sending, to a treatment apparatus accessible to the user, the modified treatment plan, wherein the treatment apparatus comprises a cycling machine, and the modified treatment plan causes the treatment apparatus to:

update at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus, and

update at least one operational aspect of at least one other device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus,

wherein updating the at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus comprises:

updating a virtual background displayed on a display device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus, and

updating notification settings on the treatment apparatus.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the notification settings comprises causing the treatment apparatus to suppress at least one of audible, visual, haptic, or physical alerts, and causing the treatment apparatus to send at least some electronic communications directly to an alternative target comprising one of voicemail, text, email, or other alternative electronic receiver.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the records contain one or more of:

occupational characteristics of the user;

health-related characteristics of the user;

demographic characteristics of the user; or

psychographic characteristics of the user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one light source, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one light source

comprises modifying one or more of a brightness or a color tone exhibited by the at least one light source.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one audio component, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one audio component comprises modifying one or more of an output volume or an audio stream played back by the at least one audio component.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one audio component comprises at least one speaker or at least one amplifier communicably coupled to the at least one speaker.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one other computing device, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one other computing device comprises updating notification settings at the at least one other computing device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises a training device that includes at least one pedal or handle and at least one component that exerts resistance against a rotational motion of the at least one pedal or handle; and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the training device comprises:

adjusting a range of motion of the at least one pedal, and

by way of the at least one component, adjusting an amount of resistance against the rotational motion of the at least one pedal or handle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, prior to updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one other device, the treatment apparatus discovers the at least one other device on an authorized network to which the treatment apparatus and the at least one other device are communicably coupled.

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

receive user data from records associated with a user;

generate, based on the user data, a modified treatment; and

send, to a treatment apparatus accessible to the user, the modified treatment plan, wherein the treatment apparatus comprises a cycling machine, and the modified treatment plan causes the treatment apparatus to:

update at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus, and

update at least one operational aspect of at least one other device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus,

wherein updating the at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus comprises:

updating a virtual background displayed on a display device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus, and

updating notification settings on the treatment apparatus.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein updating the notification settings comprises causing the treatment apparatus to suppress at least one of audible, visual, haptic, or physical alerts, and causing the treatment apparatus to send at least some electronic communications directly to an alternative target comprising one of voicemail, text, email, or other alternative electronic receiver.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the records contain one or more of:

occupational characteristics of the user;

health-related characteristics of the user;

demographic characteristics of the user; or

psychographic characteristics of the user.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one light source, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one light source

comprises modifying one or more of a brightness or a color tone exhibited by the at least one light source.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one audio component, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one audio component comprises modifying one or more of an output volume or an audio stream played back by the at least one audio component.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the at least one audio component comprises at least one speaker or at least one amplifier communicably coupled to the at least one speaker.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises at least one other computing device, and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one other computing device comprises updating notification settings at the at least one other computing device.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:

the at least one other device comprises a training device that includes at least one pedal or handle and at least one component that exerts resistance against a rotational motion of the at least one pedal or handle; and

updating the at least one operational aspect of the training device comprises:

adjusting a range of motion of the at least one pedal, and

by way of the at least one component, adjusting an amount of resistance against the rotational motion of the at least one pedal or handle.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein, prior to updating the at least one operational aspect of the at least one other device, the treatment apparatus discovers the at least one other device on an authorized network to which the treatment apparatus and the at least one other device are communicably coupled.

19. A system comprising:

a memory device storing instructions;

a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the processing device executes the instructions to:

receive user data from records associated with a user;

generate, based on the user data, a modified treatment; and

send, to a treatment apparatus accessible to the user, the modified treatment plan, wherein the treatment apparatus comprises a cycling machine, and the modified treatment plan causes the treatment apparatus to:

update at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus, and

update at least one operational aspect of at least one other device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus,

wherein updating the at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus comprises:

updating a virtual background displayed on a display device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus, and

updating notification settings on the treatment apparatus.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein updating the notification settings comprises causing the treatment apparatus to suppress at least one of audible, visual, haptic, or physical alerts, and causing the treatment apparatus to send at least some electronic communications directly to an alternative target comprising one of voicemail, text, email, or other alternative electronic receiver.
