Abstract

Various embodiments implement a multiplatform system architected to provide secure messaging between a plurality of disparate systems (e.g., mobile devices, secure cloud systems, remote locations, health monitoring devices, fitness centers, etc.), co-ordinate resources associated with each of the disparate systems, manage communication between proprietary applications via customized application programming interfaces (APIs) and manage reservation of resources of the disparate systems via the APIs. Further embodiments enable an extensible system architecture to incorporate additional systems. In some embodiments, the system includes a multi-layered database architecture to mediate information and access control (e.g., based on inheritable privileges, specific user classes are allowed or denied access to data in the database). In further embodiments, the data architecture is architected with access layers that ensure compliance with regulatory systems governing health data.

determine an activity executed by the first user based on at least one of scheduling information stored in the database, resource allocations associated with the first user, personnel allocations associated with the first user, or facility associations associated with the first user made accessible through the access tier for administrative functions; and

tailor audio prompts to the first user responsive to the determined user activity.

2. The database system of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

interpret verbal command data responsive to the determined user activity to disambiguate the verbal command data; and

execute the interpreted verbal command data according to parameters of the interpreted command.

3. The database system of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to tailor audio prompts to the first user responsive to resource allocations associated with the first user, personnel allocations associated with the first user, or facility associations associated with the first user.

4. The database system of claim 1, wherein a first API is configured to received verbal command data and translate the verbal command data into executable commands for a nutrition planning service.

5. The database system of claim 4, wherein the first API is configured to translate requests for input or prompts for input into audio based requests communicated to either of the first user device or the second user device.

6. The database system of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

match a current user activity to a set of sensors of at least the first and second user device;

activate the set of matching sensors;

or

match a current user activity to set of sensors associated with at least one scheduled resource, the first device, or second device; and

trigger activation of the set of sensors associated with at least one scheduled resource, the first device, or the second device responsive to a verbal command at the first user device.
