Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed including receiving, by circuitry of a computer, physiological data comprising physiological information gathered by a physiological sensor regarding a subject, the subject having physiological reactions to an event that is external to the subject, wherein at least one of the physiological data also comprises a first time at which the physiological data was recorded, wherein the first time is based on a global reference time frame; receiving non-physiological data comprising information regarding the external event, wherein at least one of the non-physiological data also comprises a second time at which the non-physiological data was recorded, wherein the second time is based on the global reference time frame; correlating the physiological data with the non-physiological data based on the first and second times; and generating physiological reaction data indicative of a physiological reaction of the subject to the external event.

Claims

1. A method comprising the steps of:

receiving, by circuitry of a computer, physiological data comprising physiological information gathered by a physiological sensor regarding a subject, the subject having physiological reactions to an event that is external to the subject, wherein at least one of the physiological data also comprises a first time at which the physiological data was recorded, wherein the first time is based on a global reference time frame;

receiving, by circuitry of the computer, non-physiological data comprising information regarding the event that is external to the subject from which the physiological information is gathered, wherein at least one of the non-physiological data also comprises a second time at which the non-physiological data was recorded, wherein the second time is based on the global reference time frame;

correlating, by circuitry of the computer, the physiological data with the non-physiological data based on the first and second times; and

generating physiological reaction data indicative of a physiological reaction of the subject to the external event.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the global reference time is Coordinated Universal Time.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

filtering the physiological data such that the physiological data is categorized into classifications.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the categorized physiological data is displayable to a user.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

triggering at least one of an action to affect the event that is external to the subject from which the physiological information is gathered.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the correlating at least one of the physiological data with at least one of the non-physiological data based on the global reference time frame of the physiological data and the non-physiological data occurs during the event that is external to the subject from which the physiological information is taken.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the physiological data is received from a physiological data log.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the physiological data is received from a physiological sensor.
