Beacon-based systems and methods for managing access to application features associated with a medical session

A method comprising:

• providing, by an application management system during a medical session and by way of a graphical user interface while a user device detects one or more wireless or ultrasonic signals associated with a medical system, access to a first set of medical session features of an application executed by the user device;
• and
• providing, by the application management system and by way of the graphical user interface while the user device does not detect the one or more wireless or ultrasonic signals associated with the medical system, access to a second set of medical session features of the application, the second set of medical session features being different from the first set of medical session features,
• wherein:
• the medical system comprises a computer-assisted surgical system including a manipulating system and a user control system;
• the manipulating system includes a manipulator arm configured to couple with a surgical instrument;
• the user control system remotely controls at least one of the manipulator arm or the surgical instrument based on user input to perform one or more operations with respect to a subject during the medical session;
• and
• the first set of medical session features comprises a medical system interaction feature configured to allow interaction, by a user of the user device, with content generated by the computer-assisted surgical system during the medical session.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct at least one processor of a computing device to:

• provide, during a medical session and while a user device detects one or more wireless or ultrasonic signals associated with a medical system, a user of the user device with access to a first set of medical session features of an application executed by the user device;
• and
• provide, while the user device does not detect the one or more wireless or ultrasonic signals associated with the medical system, the user with access to a second set of medical session features of the application, the second set of medical session features being different from the first set of medical session features,
• wherein:
• the medical system comprises a computer-assisted surgical system including a manipulating system and a user control system;
• the manipulating system includes a manipulator arm configured to couple with a surgical instrument;
• the user control system remotely controls at least one of the manipulator arm or the surgical instrument based on user input to perform one or more operations with respect to a subject during the medical session;
• and
• the first set of medical session features comprises a medical system interaction feature configured to allow interaction, by the user of the user device, with content generated by the computer-assisted surgical system during the medical session.
