Wearable Health Monitoring System

摘要

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to remotely monitoring the health of an individual. The individual wears a health monitoring device, with an attached strap, capable of sensing characteristics of the individual. These characteristics may include voice level and tone, movements, blood pressure, temperature, etc. The device allows individuals to constantly monitor their health without having to physically visit a doctor or other health care professional. Wireless communication, for instance with an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) set-top box, allows measurements to be made and evaluated by a computerized healthcare service provider. For a more accurate evaluation, measurements are sent over the INTERNET to a service. The device communicates with services in order to diagnose the individual based upon the characteristics.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
obtaining a baseline health performance sample of a user of the device, wherein the baseline health performance sample comprises a first measurement corresponding to a first movement of the user;receiving a request for a new health performance sample;capturing an input representing the new health performance sample according to the request, wherein the input comprises a second measurement corresponding to a second movement of the device relative to a media processor, wherein the second movement is determined according to arrival time data associated with signals that are transmitted according to instructions from the media processor;comparing the second measurement to the first measurement to determine a difference in user health performance; andtransmitting information associated with the difference in user health performance to the media processor.
