Telemedicine for Orthopedic Treatment - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240252259 titled 'Telemedicine for Orthopedic Treatment

The abstract describes a computer-implemented system that provides remote medical assistance to aid a patient in performing a rehabilitation regimen for a body part such as a joint, bone, or muscle group. The system includes an assistant interface that communicates with a patient interface and a treatment apparatus via a network connection.

• The system allows for remote control of the patient interface and treatment apparatus to guide the patient through the rehabilitation regimen.
• The telemedicine signal transmitted between the assistant interface and patient location includes audio, audiovisual, interface control, and apparatus control signals.
• The patient interface and treatment apparatus are geographically separate from the assistant interface, enabling remote assistance for patients in different locations.
• The system enhances access to medical care and guidance for rehabilitation, particularly for patients who may have difficulty traveling to a healthcare facility.
• By utilizing telemedicine technology, the system improves the efficiency and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs, leading to better patient outcomes.

Potential Applications: - Remote physical therapy sessions - Post-operative rehabilitation monitoring - Chronic condition management

Problems Solved: - Limited access to in-person rehabilitation services - Difficulty for patients in remote or rural areas to receive specialized care - Lack of real-time guidance and feedback during rehabilitation exercises

Benefits: - Increased accessibility to rehabilitation services - Enhanced patient compliance and engagement - Improved monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans

Commercial Applications: Title: Remote Rehabilitation Assistance System This technology can be utilized by healthcare providers, physical therapy clinics, and telemedicine companies to offer remote rehabilitation services to a wider patient population. The market implications include expanding reach, improving patient outcomes, and increasing efficiency in healthcare delivery.

Questions about Remote Rehabilitation Assistance System: 1. How does the system ensure patient privacy and data security during remote sessions? The system incorporates encryption protocols and secure network connections to protect patient information.

2. Can the system be customized for different types of rehabilitation regimens and patient needs? Yes, the system can be tailored to specific rehabilitation programs and individual patient requirements to provide personalized care.

Original Abstract Submitted

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.
