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 of all telepresence devices, telepresence devices within a particular region, the details of a particular telepresence device, and/or the details of a particular healthcare facility. At one viewing level, a user may view a plan view map of a healthcare facility and visualize the navigational history of a telepresence device. At another viewing level, a user may view a plan view map of a healthcare facility and visualize telemetry data of a patient associated with a selected room. At another viewing level, a user may selectively view various graphical representations of telepresence device statistics and usage information with respect to health ratings for each of a plurality of patients.
Core Innovation
The invention is a telepresence visualization and management system for a healthcare network having a plurality of telepresence devices coupled to a network. It receives a plurality of telepresence device statistics associated with the use of the telepresence devices, including statistics indicating how many sessions were conducted using the telepresence device during a specified time period.
The system provides a telepresence device statistic selection panel that allows a user to select one or more telepresence device statistics, receives the selection via the selection panel, and displays a visual representation of the selected statistics. The visual representations support selection and presentation of device usage and related session information over time, including drive modes and navigation-path visualization as reflected in the telepresence network visualization and management description.
For healthcare facility visualization, the system supports presenting telemetry pop-ups on plan maps of the healthcare facility, including patient telemetry data. It further supports patient-outcome dashboards using a coordinate system and graphs, where selected telepresence device statistics are correlated to per-patient outcome ratings, with filtering by patient condition, physician, and room, and where patient outcome ratings can include discharged-patient rating.
The described approach includes correlating telepresence device usage statistics with patient outcome ratings and displaying selectable graphs and indications of ratings on a coordinate system. It also includes session and navigation-path viewers and device-location-related visualizations, along with overlays for healthcare network visualization.
Claims Coverage
The document provides one independent claim directed to receiving and visualizing telepresence device statistics with user selection, and dependent claims that add specific statistic types and filtering/correlation features. Across the relevant claims provided, the inventive features focus on a statistic selection panel with user selection and visual representation, a session/time-period statistic, additional telepresence statistic categories, and patient-outcome correlation and filter panels for condition, physician, room, and rating indications.
Telepresence device statistics selection and visual representation
A computer program product receives a plurality of telepresence device statistics, each telepresence device statistic comprising information associated with the use of a telepresence device in a healthcare network comprising a plurality of telepresence devices coupled to a network; displays a telepresence device statistic selection panel configured to allow a user to select one or more of the plurality of telepresence device statistics; receives a selection of at least one telepresence device statistic via the telepresence device statistic selection panel; and displays a visual representation of the selected at least one telepresence device statistic.
Time-period sessions statistic for a telepresence device
The plurality of telepresence device statistics comprises a telepresence device statistic indicating how many sessions were conducted using the telepresence device during specified a time period.
Patient health rating graph with coordinate system indication
A computer program product is configured to receive per-patient health ratings associated with patients treated via telepresence devices and display graphs of selected telepresence device statistics along with indications of each patient's rating on a coordinate system.
Condition-based filter selection panel that updates visualization
A computer program product further configured to receive primary patient conditions for multiple patients, present a condition-based filter selection panel, accept user selections, remove any telepresence device statistics not matching those selections from the visualization, and update the visualization with the selected telepresence device statistics.
Visit counts per patient during a time period
Telepresence device statistics include a statistic indicating the number of visits made to each patient by the telepresence device during a time period.
Accessory usage statistics configured to measure a physiological parameter
Telepresence device statistics include statistics tied to accessory usage for each patient during a time period, where the statistics are configured to measure a physiological parameter.
Telepresence device location relative to each patient
Telepresence device statistics include a statistic tied to each telepresence device's location relative to each patient over a specified time period.
Overall, the claim set coverage centers on a computer program product that receives telepresence device statistics from a healthcare network, provides a telepresence device statistic selection panel for user selection, and displays visual representations of the selected statistics, including time-period session counts. Dependent features extend the visualization to include patient health ratings with coordinate-system graph indications, condition-based filtering that removes non-matching statistics, and specific statistic types such as per-patient visit counts, accessory-usage physiological parameters, and telepresence device location relative to each patient.
