Abstract
A system and method for providing remote telemedicine, remote rehabilitation or other training is disclosed. Tracking remote physical therapy or training using asynchronous or synchronous feedback between scheduled sessions, where the scheduled sessions can be performed in person or remotely provide for safe and expeditious treatment in situations where in-person sessions cannot be safely conducted and/or when other situations exist making virtual sessions desirable. Tracking subject process between sessions is also accomplished by manual data entry, wearable sensors or video capture by a patient computing device.
Claims20
A system for providing functional testing and training of a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one patient computing device comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed, operate a functional testing application including:
- a) a functional testing service configured to manage a telerehabilitation functional testing session with the patient;
- b) a goal setting service configured to create and monitor functional fitness goals for the patient;
- c) a home exercise service configured to guide the patient through exercises selected for the patient;
- d) a progress reporting service configured to track data collected by the functional testing service and the home exercise service to track rehabilitation progress of the patient;
- and
- e) a provider communication service configured to facilitate communication between the patient and a healthcare provider.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method of functional testing of a subject, the method comprising:
- receiving login information from the subject at a mobile computing device;
- presenting prompts on the mobile computing device to have the subject perform one or more actions;
- recording subject movements with the mobile computing device;
- analyzing movements to provide functional data regarding the subject's physical function capacity;
- and
- communicating the functional data to a computing device operated by an observing professional.
A method of functional testing of a subject between in-person sessions, the method comprising:
- receiving login information from the subject at a mobile computing device;
- presenting prompts on the mobile computing device to have the subject perform one or more actions;
- recording subject movements with the mobile computing device;
- analyzing movements to provide functional data regarding the subject's physical function capacity;
- and
- communicating the functional data to a computing device operated by an observing professional.
A telerehabilitation system comprising:
- at least one patient computing device comprising a video conferencing application configured to receive telerehabilitation services;
- at least one telemedicine provider computing device configured to operate a video conferencing application to communicate with the at least one patient computing device to provide telerehabilitation services;
- a telemedicine server comprising:
- a graphical user interface operable to present a visual display on the at least one patient computing device and at least one telemedicine provider computing device for facilitating telerehabilitation sessions;
- a communication module operable to manage communication between the at least one patient computing device, the at least one telemedicine provider computing device, and the telemedicine server;
- a telerehabilitation services manager operable to coordinate telerehabilitation services;
- and
- a data store comprising telerehabilitation resources accessible by the at least one patient computing device and the at least one telemedicine provider computing device.
A system for providing remote rehabilitation therapy, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to be worn by a patient, the sensors comprising:
- movement sensors configured to record motion data from inertial and/or mechanomyographic movements of a patient during an activity;
- and
- a wireless communication device;
- a computing device comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory device comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing system to:
- receive, via wireless communication, the motion data recorded by the sensors;
- communicate the motion data to a computing device operated by a medical professional.
