Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of systems and methods for visualizing, analyzing, and managing telepresence devices operating in a telepresence network of healthcare facilities. A user may selectively view a global view (110) of all telepresence devices (111), telepresence devices (322) within a particular region (320), the details (920) of a particular telepresence device, and/or the details of a particular healthcare facility (1100). At one viewing level (1200), a user may view a plan view map (1260) of a healthcare facility and visualize the navigational history (1230, 1240) of a telepresence device (1310). At another viewing level, a user may view a plan view map (1360) of a healthcare facility and visualize telemetry data (1350) of a patient associated with a selected room (1340). At another viewing level (1700), a user may selectively view various graphical representations (1720) of telepresence device statistics and usage information (1740) with respect to health ratings for each of a plurality of patients.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of the systems and methods for management of information among various medical providers and/or facilities. According to various embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein may facilitate the completion of location specific forms in a variety of formats by medical professionals. Certain embodiments may be employed by remotely located medical professional utilizing telemedicine technologies. Such systems may provide medical professionals utilizing telemedicine technologies with a consistent interface for gathering and inputting patient information, while continuing to allow for the use of a wide variety of forms by different medical providers and facilities. In addition to facilitating the use of location-specific forms, the systems and methods for management of information disclosed herein may also be used for the collection of patient care metrics.
Abstract:
A remote controlled robot system that includes a robot and a remote control station. A user can control movement of the robot from the remote control station. The remote control station may generate robot control commands that are transmitted through a broadband network. The robot has a camera that generates video images that are transmitted to the remote control station through the network. The user can control movement of the robot while viewing the video images provided by the robot camera. The robot can automatically stop movement if it does not receive a robot control command within a time interval . The remote control station may transmit a stop command to the robot if the station does not receive an updated video image within a time interval.
Abstract:
A remote control station that controls a robot through a network. The remote control station transmits a robot control command that includes information to move the robot. The remote control station monitors at least one system parameter and scales the robot control command as a function of the system parameter. For example, the remote control station can monitor network latency and scale the robot control command to slow down the robot with an increase in the latency of the network. Such an approach can reduce the amount of overshoot or overcorrection by a user driving the robot.
Abstract:
A remote controlled robot system that includes a mobile robot and a remote control station. A user can control movement of the robot from the remote control station. The mobile robot includes a camera system that can capture and transmit to the remote station a zoom image and a non-zoom image. The remote control station includes a monitor that displays a robot view field. The robot view field can display the non-zoom image. The zoom image can be displayed in the robot view field by highlighting an area of the non-zoom field. The remote control station may also store camera locations that allow a user to move the camera system to preset locations.
Abstract:
A remote controlled robot (12) system (10) that includes a robot (12) and a remote control station (16). A user can control movement the robot (12) from the remote control station (16). The remote control station (16) may generate robot (12) control commands that are transmitted through a broadband network. The robot (12) has a camera (26) that generates video images that are transmitted to the remote control station (16) through the network. The user can control movement of the robot (12) while viewing the video images provided by the robot (12) camera (26). The robot (12) can automatically stop movement if it does not receive a robot (12) control command within a time interval. The remote control station (16) may transmit a stop command to the robot (12) if the station does not receive an updated video image within a time interval.
