Abstract

Instead of requiring interested parties to actively watch monitored subjects continuously and be present with them or nearby, take notes of behavior, etc., this system generates processed and summary information using sensor(s) and/or other data input sources. The information can be pushed to the recipients, allowing them to be away and/or be working on other activities. Recipients of subject vitality information receive periodic reports and/or alerts of activity, wellness and environmental events. In addition, this system also can generate intelligent assessments and/or diagnostics of subjects based on all data input sources, history, subject profiles and user entered rules.

This is an assisting solution to enhance care and should not be used as a substitute for primary care/supervision for persons whose lives may be at risk (small children and persons with severe life threatening conditions).

Claims

1. A system for automating the generation of health, safety and/or behavior information (wellness, activity level and/or environmental risk information) of a person or an animal, or a plurality of them (subject(s)), the system comprising:

a. A computing system

b. Input(s) collecting subject vitality related data from sensor(s) and/or smart device(s)

c. Output(s) sending subject vitality information to other systems

d. Networking capabilities

e. Storage capacity

f. A system configuration user interface

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for computing system include:

a. A computing device with hardware and software which could be stationary or mobile

b. Smart devices that are carried or worn by a subject

c. Virtual computing machine

d. A server computer

e. A database system

f. A plurality of computing machines

g. Cloud resources for computing with interfaces to other systems

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for computing system include:

a. Means for processing and analyzing data

b. Means for running software algorithms that qualify and/or quantify mood, body vitals, levels of activity and/or environmental safety factors (value domains)

c. Means for integrating two or more value domains of subject information for analysis

d. Means for entering subject or system specific profiles consisting of rules, set-points and thresholds

e. Means for generating a baseline from entered subject profile and system inputs

f. Means for comparing input information with baseline

g. Means for comparing input information with standard libraries

h. Means for building a custom library of events from input data

i. Means for detecting events as they happen

j. Means for asserting subject state of wellness, activity and environmental safety risks

k. Means for making subject assessments/diagnostics over a period of time from system data and historical information

l. Means for producing summary assertions from analysis

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing system qualifies and/or quantifies levels of activity of subject(s)

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing system qualifies and/or quantifies the mood of subject(s)

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing system qualifies and/or quantifies body vitals of subject(s)

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing system qualifies and/or quantifies environmental safety factors

8. A method for generating health, safety diagnostics, and/or identifying patterns of behavior of subject(s).

9. The method of claim 8 comprising rule(s) applied to system data.

10. The method of claim 8 comprising set-point(s) applied to system data.

11. The method of claim 8 comprising threshold(s) applied to system data.

12. The method of claim 8 comprising representative portions of subject data used as baseline to detect events or states of significance to the information recipients.

13. A method for generating vitality profiles for a person, animal or group. Vitality profiles are representative portions of subject data used as baseline to detect events or states of significance to the interested parties.
