Abstract: Automatically generating a structured medical note during a remote medical consultation using machine learning. A provider tele-presence device may receive audio from a medical provider. A medical documentation server may be coupled to the network. A machine learning network receives audio data from the provider tele-presence device, the machine learning network generating a structured medical note based on the received audio data, and wherein the structured medical note is stored in the medical documentation server in association with an identity of a patient.

Abstract: 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. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.
