CONNECTED HEALTHCARE DEVICES WITH REAL-TIME AND PROACTIVE CAPTURE AND RELAY OF CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- affixing a wearable healthcare device to a person, the wearable healthcare device including a plurality of sensors for sensing physiological parameters of the person;
sensing, by the healthcare device, the plurality of physiological parameters of the person;
analyzing the sensed physiological parameters by employing a classifier that is pre-trained via generic training data obtained from multiple users, the classifier further considering observed cast behavior of the person for predicting whether the sensed physiological parameters are indicative of an emergent condition of the person;
when the sensed physiological parameters support a prediction that the emergent condition will occur within a predetermined time horizon over a predetermined threshold probability for intervening, communicating the emergent condition to a remote network; and
presenting a two-way communication interface for the person with a remote dispatcher of the remote network.

Abstract
A portable healthcare device is connected to a networked healthcare service to form a connected healthcare system that is configurable to address a particular predicted or emergent healthcare condition or provisioned to address a number of emergent healthcare conditions. A portable sensor detects the predicted or emergent healthcare condition. A two-way communication channel provides instructions to the affected person or those in proximity, takes remote control of the portable healthcare device to deliver a therapeutic intervention, or facilitates a rendezvous with dispatched first responders. A buffered quantity of data that is recorded proactively can be transmitted in order to make a more accurate remote diagnosis. The remote, networked healthcare service can maintain additional information about the device or a person assigned to the device to augment the transmission, including healthcare records, contact information, configuration type of the device including therapeutic capabilities, service billing, facility location of an assigned device, etc.
