Patent number: 12632485Abstract: A computer-readable medium stores instructions that cause one or more processors to perform mental wellness activities. The activities can include providing a user interface to receive inputs about a user's challenges and strengths, generating a query to a large language model (LLM) to create a narrative where challenges are addressed based on strengths, and displaying the narrative. The activities can include providing an interface for a therapeutic exercise, showing the exercise's intention, guiding the user through the exercise, and collecting feedback afterward. The activities can include recommending therapeutic activities by analyzing user data to identify preferences or emotional states. Based on the amount of aggregate user data, either predefined rules or collaborative filtering is used to make personalized activity recommendations.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2024Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: MindClayInventor: Marco Pinter

Patent number: 12505925Abstract: A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion.

Patent number: 12452387Abstract: A telepresence device may relay video, audio, and/or measurement data to a user operating a control device. A user interface may permit the user to quickly view and/or understand temporally and/or spatially disparate information. The telepresence device may pre-gather looped video of spatially disparate areas in an environment. A temporal control mechanism may start video playback at a desired point in a current or historical video segment. Notations may be associated with time spans in a video and recalled by capturing an image similar to a frame in the time span of the video. An area of interest may be selected and video containing the area of interest may be automatically found. Situational data may be recorded and used to recall video segments of interest. The telepresence device may synchronize video playback and movement. A series of videos may be recorded at predetermined time intervals to capture visually trending information.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2024Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignee: Teladoc Health, Inc.Inventors: Marco Pinter, Charles S.
