Clinical workflows utilizing autonomous and semi-autonomous telemedicine devices

A method comprising:

• displaying a list of patients on a remote presence interface of a remote access device;
• receiving, from a remote user, a selection of a plurality of patients from the patient list via the remote presence interface on the remote access device;
• directing a telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a first patient of the plurality of patients;
• initiating a telepresence session with the first patient via the remote presence interface;
• populating a dashboard of the remote presence interface with patient data relating to the first patent, wherein the patient data is obtained from at least one of a patient chart and a bedside patient monitor, such that the patient data is viewable to the remote user during the telepresence session;
• recording the patient data relating to the patient data for subsequent review;
• directing the telemedicine device to display previously recorded patient data for review by a local medical professional;
• directing, upon conclusion of the telepresence session with the first patient, the telemedicine device to autonomously navigate directly to a second patient of the plurality of patients.

A telemedicine device comprising:

• a communication component configured to receive a patient list indicating a plurality of patients to visit, wherein the patient list is created via a remote presence interface on a remote access device that displays a list of patients on the remote presence interface;
• a navigation component configured to autonomously navigate the telemedicine device to a first patient of the plurality of patients, wherein the remote presence interface initiates a telepresence session with the first patient;
• a data collection component configured to gather patient data relating to the first patient, wherein the patient data comprise real-time patient monitoring data from a bedside patient monitor;
• wherein the communication component is further configured to transmit the patient data to be used in populating a remote dashboard of a remote presence;
• and
• wherein the navigation component is further configured to autonomously navigate the telemedicine device to a second patient of the plurality of patients in response to an indication from the remote presence interface to conclude the telepresence session with the first patient.
