## Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to providing digital health services. In some embodiments, systems and methods for conducting virtual or remote sessions between patients and clinicians are disclosed. During the sessions, media content (e.g., images, video content, audio content, etc.) may be captured as the patient performs one or more tasks. The media content may be presented to the clinician and used to evaluate a condition of the patient or a state of the condition, adjust treatment parameters, provide therapy, or other operations to treat the patient. The analysis of the media content may be aided by one or more machine learning/artificial intelligence models that analyze various aspects of the media content, augment the media content, or other functionality to aid in the treatment of the patient.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of providing a neurostimulation therapy to a patient using an implantable pulse generator (IPG), comprising:
guiding the patient through an exercise routine adapted to improve one or more neurological conditions of the patient by displaying exercise movements on a user device;
capturing video data of the patient using the user device while the patient performs the displayed exercise movements;
automatically analyzing the captured video data to calculate one or more metrics indicative of one or more neurological conditions of the patient, wherein the guiding, capturing, and automatically analyzing are performed while the neurostimulation therapy is provided to the patient by the IPG;
temporarily modifying one or more stimulation parameters for the neurostimulation therapy over one or more exercise sessions while the guiding, capturing, and automatically analyzing are performed;
determining whether modification of one or more stimulation parameters induces an improvement in one or more neurological conditions based on one or more automatically calculated metrics; and
providing a modified set of stimulation parameters for the neurostimulation therapy provided to the patient by the IPG for long term use upon determination that modified one or more stimulation parameters induced an improvement in one or more neurological conditions.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the automatically analyzing comprises:
determining one or more balance characteristics of the patient.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the automatically analyzing comprises:
determining one or more gait characteristics of the patient.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the automatically analyzing comprises:
determining one or more rigidity characteristics of the patient.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the automatically analyzing comprises:
quantifying one or more tremor characteristics of the patient.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the automatically analyzing comprises:
detecting anatomical landmarks of the patient during performance of the displayed exercise movements;
analyzing patient movements in detected anatomical landmarks to calculate a plurality of movement metrics; and
applying the calculated movement metrics to one or more trained neural networks.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the exercise routine comprises patient movements adapted to improve balance of the patient.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the exercise routine comprises patient movements adapted to improve smoothness of movement for the patient.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the exercise routine comprises patient movements adapted to improve gait of the patient.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
displaying by the patient device, video of the patient performing displayed exercise movements simultaneously to guiding the patient through the exercise routine.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
displaying by the patient device, video of a representation of the patient performing displayed exercise movements simultaneously to guiding the patient through the exercise routine.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11 wherein the representation of the patient comprises one or more graphical user interface (GUI) elements defined by anatomical landmarks of the patient.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
detecting one or more deviations of patient movements from the display movements; and
providing feedback to the patient upon detection of one or more deviations of patient movements from the display movements.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13 wherein the feedback comprises haptic feedback using a wearable device of the patient.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13 wherein the feedback comprises feedback displayed on the user device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
providing an analysis of patient movement during the exercise session calculated by one or more trained artificial intelligence models.

The method of claim 16 providing a report to a clinician detailing changes in one or more neurological conditions of the patient as detected during multiple exercise sessions.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the user device displays exercise movements for performance by the patient using a virtual reality (VR) display component.
