Data labeling system and method operative with patient and clinician controller devices disposed in a remote care architecture

A remote care management system, comprising:

• a first external device configured as a clinician programmer device associated with a clinician;
• a second external device configured as a patient controller device associated with a patient;
• an implantable medical device (IMD) implanted in the patient, the IMD supporting a therapy application configured to be programmable by at least one of the clinician operating the first external device and the patient operating the second external device,
• wherein the first external device and the second external device are each configured to establish a remote care session therebetween, the remote care session configurable to selectively allow a remote therapy session in addition to an audio and video (AV) communication session that facilitates a telehealth consultation between the clinician and the patient, the remote therapy session for delivering one or more programming instructions to the patient's IMD from the clinician programmer device in response to determining that the patient requires remote therapy,
• wherein at least one of the patient controller device and the clinician programmer device is provided with a user interface control for receiving user input, the user interface control associated with a particular functionality of at least one of the AV communication session and the remote therapy session;
• wherein the at least one of the patient controller device and the clinician programmer device is configured to effectuate, responsive to the user input, a dialog interface at one of the patient controller device and the clinician programmer device, the dialog interface operative to receive a user characterization label indicative of a subjective assessment of the particular functionality of at least one of the AV communication session and the remote therapy session selected via the user interface control by the patient or the clinician;
• a record generator module for creating one or more records associating the user characterization label, therapy settings data used in providing the remote therapy to the patient and one or more network performance metrics relative to a network connection effectuating the remote care session;
• and
• a database module for performing at least one of providing efficient retrieval of the therapy settings data based on user characterization label information in response to a user request from the clinician or the patient, and training a machine language (ML) engine using a plurality of the records to provide efficient predictive analytics with respect to future therapy settings.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code stored thereon for execution on a first external medical controller device for facilitating remote care delivery with respect to a patient having an implantable medical device (IMD), the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• a code portion for establishing a remote care session with a second external medical controller device, wherein a clinician and the patient are remotely located with respect to each other and the remote care session includes an audiovisual (AV) communication session controlled by one or more audio controls and one or more video controls provided with at least one of the first and second external medical controller devices, the remote care session further including a remote therapy session for providing one or more programming instructions to the patient's IMD responsive to determining that the patient requires remote therapy;
• a code portion for processing a user input received via a user interface control provided with the first external medical controller device, the user interface control associated with a particular functionality of at least one of the AV communication session and the remote therapy session;
• a code portion, operative responsive to the user input, for effectuating a dialog interface at the first external medical controller device;
• a code portion for processing a user characterization label received via the dialog interface, the user characterization label indicating a subjective assessment of the particular functionality of at least one of the AV communication session and the remote therapy session selected via the user interface control by the patient or the clinician;
• a code portion for generating one or more records associating the user characterization label, therapy settings data used in providing the remote therapy to the patient and one or more network performance metrics relative to a network connection effectuating the remote care session;
• and
• a code portion for facilitating at least one of efficient retrieval of the therapy settings data based on user characterization label information in response to a user request and training a machine language (ML) engine using a plurality of the records to provide efficient predictive analytics with respect to future therapy settings.
