Providing personalized patient care based on electronic health record associated with a user

A method comprising:

• determining a current location for a user in an environment;
• detecting obstacles within the environment;
• estimating one or more physical capabilities of the user of the user based on an electronic health record (EHR) associated with the user;
• generating, with a processor-based device that is programmed to perform the generating, instructions for a robot to perform a task based on the obstacles within the environment and the one or more physical capabilities of the user of the user;
• and
• instructing the robot to perform the task.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processing device to perform or control performance of steps comprising:

• determining a current location for a user in an environment;
• detecting obstacles within the environment;
• estimating one or more physical capabilities of the user based on an electronic health record (EHR) associated with the user;
• generating instructions for a robot to perform a task based on the obstacles within the environment and the one or more physical capabilities of the user;
• and
• instructing the robot to perform the task.

A method for improving the behavior of a robot, the method comprising:

• building an electronic health record query (EHR query) including an identifier of a user;
• querying a database for electronic health record data (EHR data) associated with the identifier, wherein the EHR data describes one or more physical capabilities of the user;
• generating simulation data for the user based on the EHR data, wherein the simulation data describes a simulation including expected behavior of the robot when executing an initial program configured to control the behavior of the robot;
• and
• determining a customized program for the robot based on the simulation data and the initial program, wherein the customized program controls the behavior of the robot based on the one or more physical capabilities of the user.

A method for customizing robot perception of a user, the method comprising:

• querying a database for electronic health record data (EHR data) that describes one or more electronic health records associated with a user;
• determining one or more physical capabilities of the user based on the EHR data;
• selecting a set of images as training data based on the conditions or limitations of the user;
• building a user-specific visual classifier for the user based on the EHR data associated and the training data;
• and
• customizing the robot perception of the user based on the user-specific visual classifier for the user.

A method for customizing robot navigation for a user, the method comprising:

• determining one or more physical capabilities of the user based on electronic health record data (EHR data) that describes one or more electronic health records associated with a user;
• determining modifications for a program that controls the behavior of the robot based on the EHR data;
• and
• customizing the program for the robot based on the modifications so that the robot behavior is customized consistent with the one or more physical capabilities of the user.

A method for a robot to assist a target user, the method comprising:

• determining the target user;
• retrieving electronic health record data (EHR data) associated with the target user and describing one or more physical capabilities of the target user;
• detecting one or more obstacles within an environment including the target user;
• customizing, with a processor-based device that is programmed to perform the customizing, instructions for the robot to perform one or more tasks for the target user based on the obstacles within the environment and the one or more physical capabilities of the target user;
• and
• performing the one or more tasks for the target user based on the customized instructions.
