8 . The system of claim 1 , 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 treatment device in real-time or near real-time.

9 . The system of claim 1 , 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 treatment device at a time subsequent to receiving the at least one adjusted parameter.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the treatment device further comprises at least one of a physical therapy device, a brace, a cap, a mat, and a wrap.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a force parameter as detected by the at least one sensor, and wherein controlling the at least one operation of the at least one of the plurality of sections of the treatment device in one of a standby mode, inflate mode, or deflate mode comprises, responsive to the force parameter exceeding a target level, controlling the at least one operation of the at least one of the plurality of sections of the treatment device in deflate mode to reduce the force parameter.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the artificial intelligence engine modifies, based on the force parameter exceeding a target level, the treatment plan.

13 . A method for enabling a remote adjustment of a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while a patient performs a treatment plan, wherein an artificial intelligence engine generates, based on one or more characteristics of the patient and one or more desired results, the treatment plan and a guide map, wherein the guide map comprises a plurality of indicators and a pressure gradient map positioned over one or more sections of an augmented image of the treatment device, the treatment device comprising a plurality of sections and at least one sensor configured to detect a change in at least one parameter associated with performance of the treatment plan by the patient, and the manipulation of the treatment device by the user includes manipulating the plurality of sections of the treatment device to inflate or deflate at least one of the plurality of sections while the patient performs one or more exercises of the treatment plan, the method comprising, at a computing device configured to conduct a telemedicine session via a patient interface associated with the treatment device:
