1. A system for remote guidance of medical procedures comprising:
a patient interface subsystem, wherein the patient interface subsystem includes a patient camera module, a patient augmented reality (AR) display module, a patient speaker module, a patient microphone module, an image recognition module, and wherein the patient interface subsystem is associated with a patient;
a patient communication module, wherein the patient communication enables the communication between the patient interface subsystem and a provider interface subsystem;
a patient processor, wherein the patient processor is operatively coupled to the patient interface subsystem and the patient communication module, and wherein the patient processor is configured to:
authenticate the patient interface subsystem by validating a set of patient credentials of the patient;
capture camera data with the patient camera module, wherein the camera data includes scene information of an external environment of the patient;
evaluate the captured camera data with the image recognition module to confirm that a preselected set of medical supplies are present in the external environment to perform an injection;
transmit the camera data to the provider interface subsystem via the patient communication module;
receive provider instructions of a remote healthcare provider from the provider interface subsystem via the patient communication module;
generate, in real time, one or more dynamic visual cues responsive to the received provider instructions, wherein the one or more dynamic visual cues are selected from a cue set consisting of a needle position cue, an injection overlay cue, and an injection site map cue, the one or more dynamic visual cues configured to guide the patient to perform the injection;
display a first graphic overlay with the patient AR display module, wherein the first graphic overlay includes the generated one or more dynamic visual cues to be superimposed on the patient's field of vision in order to perform the injection; and
evaluate the camera data with the image recognition module to continuously track the location of at least one medical supply of the preselected set of medical supplies.
