Analyzing data from a sensor-enabled device

摘要

An approach for analyzing data collected by a sensor-enabled device over a network is provided. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a set of usage data will be received from a device over a network. The set of usage data may be collected via at least one sensor integrated with the device, and the set of usage data may pertain to use of the device by a user. Regardless, the set of usage data will be compared to a set of diagnostic information stored in at least one computer storage device. The set of diagnostic information typically pertains to a condition (e.g., medical) treated by use of the device (e.g., dental, cardiac, renal, etc.). Based on the comparison, at least one determination (e.g., diagnosis, treatment plan, level of compliance with applicable standards, etc.) will be made and a set of reports will be generated based thereon.

1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing data from a sensor-enabled toothbrush, comprising:
receiving a set of usage data, pertaining to a user's use of the toothbrush, from the toothbrush over a cloud network, the set of usage data being collected via at least one sensor integrated with the toothbrush, and the set of usage data comprising: an angle of the toothbrush against at least one tooth of the user, a pressure of the toothbrush against the at least one tooth of the user, a length of time the user brushed the at least one tooth, and an order of brushing of the at least one tooth by the user; providing a first graph showing average, high, and low pressure applied to each tooth surface; providing a second graph of an amount of time spent on the each tooth surface; receiving, over the cloud network, usage data pertaining to other users' use of other toothbrushes; comparing the set of usage data, pertaining to the user's use of the toothbrush, to a set of diagnostic information stored in at least one computer storage device, the set of diagnostic information pertaining to a condition treated by use of the toothbrush; aggregating, into aggregated usage data, a result of the comparison with the usage data pertaining to other users' use of other toothbrushes; analyzing the aggregated usage data; determining, based on the analysis, a correlation of a characteristic of teeth to a parameter of the toothbrush or use of the toothbrush based on the analyzing; generating a set of reports based on the comparison, the set of reports indicating at least one recommendation based on the correlation, and the most effective toothpaste and bristle type according to patient phenotype.
