1. A method of detecting a malady, comprising:
- collecting electronic copies of an individual'"'"'s second order output;
comparing the collected electronic copies to a symptoms database storing data ranges describing symptoms;
retrieving a symptom associated with the collected electronic copies that lies outside a data range; and
predicting an onset of the malady associated with the symptom.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for detecting and/or predicting maladies in humans and animals. Electronic copies of second order output are collected and compared to a symptoms database storing data ranges describing symptoms. When the second order output lies outside a data range, a symptom associated with the data range is retrieved. The onset of a malady associated with the symptom is then predicted.

1. A method of detecting a malady, comprising:
-
collecting electronic copies of an individual'"'"'s second order output; comparing the collected electronic copies to a symptoms database storing data ranges describing symptoms; retrieving a symptom associated with the collected electronic copies that lies outside a data range; and predicting an onset of the malady associated with the symptom.
-
-
2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising storing the collected electronic copies in an historical database.
-
3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising comparing a recent second order output to a historical second order output.
-
4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising comparing publically available video data to historical video data to determine vision changes over time.
-
5. The method according to claim 2, further comprising determining a distance between parked cars in video data.
-
6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising comparing the distance to historical parking video data stored in the historical database.
-
7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising inferring vision degradation when the distance exceeds historical parking video data.
-
8. The method according to claim 2, further comprising storing a recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature in the historical database.
-
9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising comparing the recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature to a historical electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature.
-
10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising predicting the onset of Parkinson'"'"'s disease based on the comparison.
-
11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising predicting vision degradation based on the comparison.
-
12. A system for detecting a malady, comprising:
-
a processor executing code stored in memory that causes the processor to; collect a recent electronic copy of an individual'"'"'s handwritten signature; compare the recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature to historical electronic copies of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signatures; determine the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature has changed over time; retrieve a symptom associated with the changed individual'"'"'s handwritten signature; and predict an onset of the malady associated with the symptom.
-
-
13. The system according to claim 12, wherein the code further causes the processor to retrieve the recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature from a credit card transaction.
-
14. The system according to claim 12, wherein the code further causes the processor to determine a change exists between the recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature and the historical electronic copies of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signatures.
-
15. The system according to claim 14, wherein the code further causes the processor to compare the change to a symptoms database storing data ranges describing symptoms.
-
16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the code further causes the processor to determine the change lies outside a data range.
-
17. The system according to claim 16, wherein the code further causes the processor to retrieve the symptom associated with the data range.
-
18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the code further causes the processor to predict the onset of Parkinson'"'"'s disease based on the symptom.
-
19. The system according to claim 17, wherein the code further causes the processor to predict vision degradation based on the symptom.
-
20. A computer readable medium storing processor executable instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:
-
collect a recent electronic copy of an individual'"'"'s handwritten signature; compare the recent electronic copy of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature to historical electronic copies of the individual'"'"'s handwritten signatures; determine the individual'"'"'s handwritten signature has changed over time; retrieve a symptom associated with the changed individual'"'"'s handwritten signature; and predict an onset of a malady associated with the symptom.
