An interactive intervention training system used for monitoring a patient suffering from neurological disorders of movement or a subject seeking to improve skill performance and assisting their training. A patient (or trainee) station is used in interactive training. The patient (or trainee) station includes a computer. A supervisor station is used by, for example, a medical or other professional. The patient (or trainee) station and the supervisor station can communicate with each other, for example, over the Internet or over a LAN. The patient (or trainee) station may be located remotely or locally with respect to the supervisor station. Sensors collect physiologic information and physical information from the patient or subject while the patient or subject is undergoing training. This information is provided to the supervisor station. It may be summarized and displayed to the patient/subject and/or the supervisor. The patient/subject and the supervisor can communicate with each other, for example, via video, in real time. An expert system and neural network determine a goal to be achieved during training. There may be more than one patient (or trainee) station, thus allowing the supervisor to supervise a number of patients/subjects concurrently.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An interactive intervention system for monitoring a patient suffering from neurological disorders of movement and assisting in patient rehabilitation, comprising:a patient station for use by a patient in rehabilitative training and including a computer processor;a supervisor station for use by a medical professional including a computer processor, said patient station and said supervisor station coupled via a concurrent communications network and said supervisor station containing a set of preselected rules for determining a goal for patient rehabilitation;first sensors for collecting physiologic information from the patient while the patient is undergoing rehabilitative training, the first sensors coupled to the patient station and providing said physiologic information to said patient station as electrical signals, the patient station communicating the physiologic information to the supervisor station in real time;second sensors for collecting positional information from the patient while the patient is undergoing rehabilitative training, the second sensors coupled to the patient station and providing said positional information to said patient station as electrical signals, the patient station communicating the positional information to the supervisor station in real time;a patient input device coupled to the patient station enabling the patient to communicate in real time with the medical professional at the supervisor station;a supervisor output device coupled to the supervisor station enabling the medical professional to receive real time communications from the patient at the patient station;a supervisor input device coupled to the supervisor station enabling the medical professional to communicate in real time with the patient at the patient station;a patient output device coupled to the patient station enabling the patient to receive real time communications from the supervisor station; andsoftware means located a the supervisor station, accepting as input the physiologic information and the positional information and determining for the patient a goal to be achieved during rehabilitative training, said goal being determined according to one of the preselected rules and based upon the input physiological information and positional information and said goal communicated to the patient at the patient station while the patient is undergoing rehabilitation.
