Abstract

Systems, methods, computer program products, and media are described for obtaining data from occupational or leisure intercommunication at least between a device and a user and signaling a data distillation indicating a health status change of the user at least partly based on the data from the occupational or leisure intercommunication; or for receiving health-status-indicative data surreptitiously captured from an interaction between a device and a user and applying one or more data extraction criteria to the health-status-indicative data surreptitiously captured from the interaction between the device and the user.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving health-status-indicative data surreptitiously captured from an interaction between a device and a user; and

applying one or more data extraction criteria to the health-status-indicative data surreptitiously captured from the interaction between the device and the user.

11. The method of claim 1 in which receiving health-status-indicative data surreptitiously captured from an interaction between a device and a user comprises:

receiving the health-status-indicative data substantially contemporaneously with the interaction.
