Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that leverage computers, and specifically a network like the Internet, to provide understandable information to a patient and to obtain meaningful consent from the patient. In particular, the systems and methods described herein may integrate with an electronic medical records (EMR) system to provide information to a patient. Such information may include an explanation of a how a procedure or treatment may be performed, possible complications or side effects that may occur, what a patient should do pre-op, what a patient should do during the procedure or treatment, and/or what a patient should do or expect post-op.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for constructing a non-linear video, comprising:
- receiving a diagnosis associated with a patient from an electronic medical records system;
- retrieving a first video segment from a video database based on the received diagnosis, wherein the first video segment comprises first content associated with a first subject;
- generating a first question based on an analysis of the first content, wherein the first question tests an ability of the patient to understand the first content;
- transmitting, over a network to a user device, a link that, when selected, causes an application executing on the user device to be redirected to a content page for accessing the first video segment;
- receiving an indication of a selection of the first video segment;
- transmitting, over the network to the user device, the first video segment and data configured to cause the user device to pause the first video segment during playback and display the first question;
- receiving a first answer from the user device over the network, wherein the first answer is selected by the patient in response to the first question;
- comparing the first answer to an expected answer to the first question;
- retrieving a second video segment from the video database in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer matches the expected answer, wherein the second video segment is retrieved based on the first answer and the diagnosis, and wherein the second video segment comprises second content associated with a second subject;
- retrieving a third video segment from the video database in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer does not match the expected answer, wherein the third video segment is retrieved based on the first answer and the diagnosis, and wherein the third video segment comprises the first content and third content associated with the first subject;
- transmitting the second video segment to the user device in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer matches the expected answer or the third video segment to the user device in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer does not match the expected answer for presentation to the patient;
- transmitting a first instruction to the user device that instructs the user device to detect, via a camera, a direction of a facial movement of the patient using a baseline point corresponding to a facial feature of the patient and, based on the detected direction of the facial movement, determine a response provided by the patient;
- and
- receiving, from the user device, an indication of the response provided by the patient.

A computer-implemented method for obtaining consent from a patient, comprising:
- receiving a diagnosis from an electronic medical records system, wherein the diagnosis is associated with a patient;
- generating a message based on the received diagnosis, wherein the message comprises a link to a video retrieved based on the received diagnosis;
- transmitting the message to the electronic medical records system;
- receiving a request to view the video from a user device, wherein the request is generated based on a selection of the link;
- transmitting the video to the user device in response to receiving the request;
- transmitting hardware instructions to the user device, wherein the hardware instructions comprise a request to provide a list of available hardware components;
- receiving, from the user device, the list of available hardware components;
- transmitting consent instructions to the user device that instruct the user device to obtain consent from the patient using a camera listed in the list of available hardware components by detecting, via the camera, a direction of a facial movement of the patient using a baseline point corresponding to a facial feature of the patient and, based on the detected direction of the facial movement, determining a response provided by the patient;
- and
- receiving, from the user device, an indication of the response provided by the patient.
7 more elements
A computing system configured to obtain consent from a patient, the computing system comprising:
- a network interface coupled to a data network for receiving and transmitting one or more packet flows;
- a computer processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to cause the computing system to:
- receive a diagnosis from an electronic medical records system, wherein the diagnosis is associated with a patient;
- generate a message based on the received diagnosis, wherein the message comprises a link to a video retrieved based on the received diagnosis;
- transmit the message to the electronic medical records system;
- receive a request to view the video from a user device, wherein the request is generated based on a selection of the link;
- transmit the video to the user device in response to receiving the request;
- generate hardware instructions that are transmitted to the user device, wherein the hardware instructions comprise a request to provide a list of available hardware components;
- receive, from the user device, the list of available hardware components;
- transmit consent instructions to the user device, wherein the consent instructions comprise a request to obtain consent from the patient using a camera listed in the list of available hardware components, wherein the consent instructions cause the user device to detect, via the camera, a direction of a facial movement of the patient using a baseline point corresponding to a facial feature of the patient and, based on the detected direction of the facial movement, determine a response provided by the patient;
- and
- receive, from the user device, an indication that consent is obtained from the patient.
