TIMELY DETECTION AND RESPONSE TO CONTEXT-SPECIFIC HEALTH EVENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17728741 Titled 'TIMELY DETECTION AND RESPONSE TO CONTEXT-SPECIFIC HEALTH EVENTS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for detecting and responding to adverse health events and emergencies. It involves using sensors on a device to collect data on the user's physical state. This data is used to update a profile of the user's current context. A baseline profile with the same context is then selected from a set of profiles with different contexts. The features of the current context profile are compared to the corresponding features of the baseline profile. If a possible adverse health event is detected, a remedial action is initiated.


Original Abstract Submitted

Detecting an adverse health event and responding to an emergency event can include updating a current context profile of a user based on signals generated by one or more sensors of a device, the signals generated in response to one or more physically measurable phenomena associated with the user. A context-aware baseline profile having a same context as the current context profile can be selected, the context-aware baseline profile selected from a plurality of context-aware baseline profiles having different contexts. Features of the current context profile can be compared with corresponding features of the context-aware baseline profile of the user having the same context as the current context profile. A remedial action can be initiated in response to recognizing, based on the comparing, an occurrence of a possible adverse health event affecting the user.
