  • Patent number: 11950861
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system includes an assistant interface for providing remote medical assistance to aid a patient in performing various aspects of a rehabilitation regimen for a body part comprising a joint, a bone, or a muscle group. The assistant interface is configured to communicate, via a network connection, a telemedicine signal with the patient interface. The telemedicine signal is configured to control the patient interface and/or a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by the patient to perform the rehabilitation regimen. The patient interface and the treatment apparatus are at a patient location geographically separate from a location of the assistant interface. The telemedicine signal includes one or more of an audio signal, an audiovisual signal, an interface control signal for controlling a function of the patient interface, and/or an apparatus control signal for changing an operating parameter of the treatment apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11955218
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by a user while performing an exercise session, patient interfaces associated with users, and a server computing device configured to receive treatment data pertaining to the user, determine whether at least one characteristic of the user matches at least one second characteristic of a second user, where the second user belonging to a cohort. Responsive to determining the at least one characteristic of the user matches the at least one second characteristic of the second user, the server computing device is configured to assign the user to the cohort and select, via a trained machine learning model, a treatment plan for the user. Responsive to transmitting a signal to the patient interfaces of users in the cohort, the server computing device enables the patient interfaces to establish the virtual shared session between the patient interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11942205
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus manipulated by a patient while performing an exercise session and a patient interface that receives a virtual avatar. The patient interface presents the virtual avatar. The virtual avatar uses a virtual representation of the treatment apparatus to guide the patient through an exercise session. A server computing device provides the virtual avatar of the patient to the patient interface and receives a message pertaining to a trigger event. The message includes a severity level of the trigger event. The server computing device determines whether a severity level of the trigger event exceeds a threshold severity level, and responsive to determining the severity level of the trigger event exceeds the threshold severity level, replaces on the patient interface the presentation of the virtual avatar with a presentation of a multimedia feed from a computing device of the medical professional.

  • Patent number: 11923057
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan and a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session. The computer-implemented system may also include a first computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user while the user uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; write to an associated memory, for access by an artificial intelligence engine, the treatment data; receive, from the artificial intelligence engine, at least one prediction; identify a threshold corresponding to the at least one prediction; and, in response to a determination that the at least one prediction is outside of the range of the threshold, update the treatment data pertaining to the user to indicate the at least one prediction.
