Abstract

A mobile platform allows trainers to host online brain rehabilitation and cognitive enhancement sessions with clients. The sessions can be individually tailored or chosen from a plethora of prepared sessions. The trainer/evaluator uses real time questionnaires to evaluate the status of the patient prior to preparing the training session. They can also view the results and performance of the patient in real time or at any time after the session has been completed. The mobile platform is designed to facilitate the creation and growth of a community of users by facilitating communication and interactivity between the users upon the satisfactory completion of a battery of tests and evaluations. The mobile platform serves as an information resource for trainers and clients by incorporating a set of algorithms, rules, and guidelines regarding the administration of brain rehabilitation and cognitive enhancement sessions. This aids both trainers and clients participating in the sessions.

Claims

1. A method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network, comprising the steps of:

Step 1—

conducting a computerized pre-session testing of a patient, wherein a set of responses to said pre-session testing is stored and available for review;

Step 2—

assembling a listing of available trainers and available session times accessible to said patient;

Step 3—

reviewing and evaluating of said set of responses to said pre-session testing by a trainer to develop a pre-session evaluation, wherein said pre-session evaluation is accessible to said patient;

Step 4—

reviewing said pre-session evaluation and selection of a trainer and session time by said patient;

Step 5—

establishing communication between a selected trainer and said patient;

Step 6—

coordinating a schedule of said trainer with a schedule of said patient for future sessions over said distributed network;

Step 7—

developing a personalized session by said selected trainer based on said pre-session evaluation and from a set of session exercises obtained from a bank of session exercises;

Step 8—

storing said session so as to be accessible to said patient;

Step 9—

acquiring of any applications or data as required by said session;

Step 10—

participating in said session by said patient and said selected trainer;

Step 11—

evaluating said session by said selected trainer when said session is completed to compile a session evaluation and storing said session evaluation so as to be accessible to said patient;

Step 12—

reviewing said session evaluation by said patient and communicating said comments to said selected trainer prior to next said session development.

2. The method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

completing a real time current situation questionnaire by said patient which is accessible to said selected trainer prior to said developing a personalized session by said selected trainer;

developing said personalized session by said selected trainer also based on said current situation questionnaire.

3. The method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network of claim 2 further comprising the step of:

installing physiological sensors and video cameras capable of transmission of signal over said distributed network as required by said session prior to the participating in said session.

4. The method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network of claim 3 further comprising the steps of:

correlating all said patient'"'"'s said session evaluations by said selected trainer prior to next said session development;

determining if said patient is a candidate for inclusion into a distributed network community for brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services;

participating in at least one additional session following steps 6 to 12, wherein said patient is not a candidate for inclusion into a distributed network community for brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services.

5. The method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network of claim 4 further comprising the steps of:

training of patients selected as said candidate for inclusion in said distributed network community for brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services;

establishing a social network for a group of patients included in said distributed network community wherein access to said set of session exercises is granted to said group of patients in said community.

6. The method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services via a distributed network of claim 5 further comprising the steps of:

having at least two patients from said group of patients included in said distributed network community determine their respective role of trainer or patient; and

participating in at least one session following steps 6 to 12.

7. A method of telemedicine delivery of brain rehabilitative therapy and cognitive enhancement services comprising the steps of:

Step 9—

placing said session on said distributed network so as to be accessible to said patient;

Step 10—

acquiring of any applications or data from said distributed network as required by said session;

Step 11—

installing physiological sensors and video cameras capable of transmission of signal over said distributed network as required by said session;

Step 12—

participating via said distributed network, in said session by said patient and said selected trainer;

Step 13—

evaluating said session by said selected trainer when said session completed to compile a session evaluation and storing said session evaluation on said distributing network so as to be accessible to said patient;

Step 14—

reviewing said session evaluation by said patient and communicating said comments to said selected trainer prior to next said session development;

Step 15—
