Identifying and Generating Biometric Cohorts Based on Biometric Sensor Input
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating biometric cohorts, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving biometric data identifying a set of biometric patterns, wherein the biometric data is received from a set of biometric sensors;
processing the biometric data to form digital biometric data, wherein the digital biometric data identifies attributes of the biometric data, and wherein the digital biometric data comprises metadata describing the attributes of the biometric data; and
generating a set of biometric cohorts using the digital biometric data, wherein each member of the set of biometric cohorts shares at least one biometric attribute in common.

Abstract
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating biometric cohorts. In one embodiment, biometric data is received which identifies a set of biometric patterns. The biometric data is received from a set of biometric sensors. The biometric data is processed to form digital biometric data that identifies attributes of the biometric data. In addition, the digital biometric data includes metadata describing the attributes of the biometric data. Thereafter, a set of biometric cohorts is generated using the digital biometric data. Each member of the set of biometric cohorts shares at least one biometric attribute in common.
