Telemedicine platform including virtual assistance
A telemedicine platform utilizes artificial intelligence to match patients with practitioners. The platform includes a virtual assistant operable to automatically generate responses to a patient using machine learning in order to further identify details regarding the patient's symptoms and needs. The virtual assistant includes a digitally generated human face that automatically adapts mouth-movements and facial expressions to match the automatically generated responses in order to provide a feeling of interacting with a human assistant. The platform includes a patient interface, for identifying physicians and scheduling appointments, a practitioner interface, for managing patients and scheduling issues, and an administrator interface, for managing a larger practice of multiple practitioners.
1. A telemedicine system, comprising:
at least one server, including a processor and a memory, and at least one database;
wherein the at least one server is in network communication with at least one patient user device and at least one practitioner device;
wherein the at least one server generates at least one patient profile corresponding to the at least one patient user device;
wherein one or more of the at least one patient profile includes a plurality of members, and wherein the at least one patient profile manages scheduling for appointments of each of the plurality of members;
wherein at least one contact method associated with at least one member of a plurality of members and an indication of a relationship between the at least one member and the at least one patient profile are input to the at least one patient profile;
wherein a confirmation message is transmitted to the at least one member via the at least one contact method associated with the at least one member;
wherein the at least one practitioner device is operable to manage availability of at least one practitioner profile by receiving a time range selection by click selection of a circle at a start point representing a start time of the time range and drag selection of the circle to an end point representing an end time of the time range;
wherein the at least one server includes an artificial intelligence module;
wherein the artificial intelligence module receives messages from the at least one patient user device and automatically detects described symptoms and provides a list of suggested healthcare providers to the at least one patient user device based on natural language processing of the messages and a predictive diagnosis of a medical concern based on the described symptoms, wherein the list of suggested healthcare providers specialize in treatment of the medical concern;
wherein the artificial intelligence module automatically uses natural language processing to analyze the messages received from the at least one user device and generates a list of International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 diagnosis codes based on the messages;
wherein the artificial intelligence module automatically generates responses to the messages from the at least one patient user device to prompt for further information;
wherein the system is operable to receive a selection by the at least one patient user device for at least one real physician or at least one artificial intelligence generated physician to solely host a consultation; and
wherein the artificial intelligence module generates an animated human face and animates the animated human face to synchronize lip movements to audio of the automatically generated responses, wherein the server receives a selection of a gender and/or ethnicity for the animated human face and an accent and/or dialect for the audio of the automatically generated response, wherein the gender and/or ethnicity of the animated human face and the accent and/or dialect of the audio of the automatically generated response corresponds to the selected gender and/or ethnicity and accent and/or dialect.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server receives a selection to filter the list of suggested healthcare providers to only display one or more specific types of healthcare providers.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the list of suggested healthcare providers is based on a geolocation of the at least one patient user device, consultation prices for different healthcare providers, estimated time until an available consultation with each healthcare provider, and/or average ratings of healthcare providers.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the artificial intelligence module automatically diagnoses a patient based on at least one description of symptoms, patient demographic data, at least one test result, and/or at least one scan.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server receives prescription instructions from the at least one practitioner device and transmits the prescription instructions to at least one pharmacy.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server automatically updates an electronic medical record corresponding to the at least one patient profile based on results of each consultation.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server includes an integrated billing module, wherein the integrated billing module displays at least one cost associated with a patient profile before and after insurance.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the artificial intelligence module receives at least one image from the at least one patient user device and generates a diagnosis based on analysis of the at least one image.
