Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products for a non-invasive, automated method of receiving, collecting, storing and transmitting a person'"'"'s physiological data and activity levels for the purposes of determining the well-being of a person are disclosed. Aspects of the present invention are also directed to making additional health status determinations based on the historical information and trends of the collected data. Such aspects of the present invention readily lend themselves to incremental component and functionality modifications, which would allow for any number of physiological data to be collected through the introduction of any number of non-invasive sensors. This results in higher accuracy, reliability, and utility of the collected information, further solidifying the uniqueness and desirability of the invention, for consumer and clinical Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) applications.
