Remote instruction and monitoring of health care
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a medical procedure comprising a first computer at a first location, a second computer at a second location, and a server computer, wherein:
- the first computer is configured to obtain first image data of a patient and transmit the first image data to the server computer;
the server computer is configured to process the first image data and transmit the processed first image data to the second computer;
the second computer is configured to;
cause the processed first image data to be presented on a second display,obtain second image data, wherein the second image data comprises instructions regarding performance of an incision, andreceive data provided by a user, wherein the data comprises additional instructions regarding performance of the incision and wherein the data is not derived from image data;
transmit the data provided by the user and the second image data to the server computer;
the server computer is configured to process the second image data and transmit the processed second image data to the first computer;
the first computer is configured to;
cause the processed second image data to be presented on a first display,obtain third image data of the patient, wherein the third image data comprises an image of the incision being performed on the patient, andtransmit the third image data to the server computer;
the server computer is configured to;
determine a first value of a first parameter from the second image data,determine a second value of the first parameter from the third image data,compare the first value and the second value,generate comparison data, andtransmit the comparison data to the first computer and the second computer;
the first computer is configured to cause the comparison data to be presented on the first display; and
the second computer is configured to cause the comparison data to be presented on the second display.

Abstract
Remote instruction and monitoring of health care may be facilitated by transmitting and processing image data of a patient, image data demonstrating a medical procedure, and image data of performance of the medical procedure. Image data of a patient may be transmitted to a remote doctor. Remote doctor may view the image data of the patient and provide a demonstration of a medical procedure. Image data of the demonstration may be provided to a local doctor who may perform the medical procedure. Image data of the performance of the procedure may be compared with image data of the demonstration of the procedure, and a result of the comparison may be transmitted to local doctor or remote doctor.
