Abstract

One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for heath monitoring or monitoring one or more health parameters of a user are provided herein. Systems or components of a vehicle may monitor one or more vital or health parameters of an occupant of a vehicle, driver, passenger, etc. For example, a seat may have sensors embedded within that may measure characteristics or attributes associated with the occupant. In one example, a scale may be integrated with the seat to monitor a weight of an occupant on a day to day basis. As another example, a seatbelt or one or more portions of the seat may have heart rate monitors that check a heart rate of an occupant. Additionally, warnings or alerts may be provided when a signature is detected, such as an abnormal heart beat, etc. In this manner, health monitoring may be provided.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users, comprising:

a seat;

one or more sensor components embedded within the seat, one or more of the sensor components monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users positioned in the seat;

a storage component storing one or more of the health parameters of the user; and

a warning component generating one or more alerts based on one or more of the health parameters of one or more of the users.

2. The system of claim 1, comprising a translating component converting one or more signals received by one or more of the sensor components into a storable format for the storage component.

3. The system of claim 1, comprising an emergency component transmitting one or more emergency alerts to one or more third parties.

4. The system of claim 1, comprising one or more peripheral components displaying one or more of the alerts or provide audio for one or more of the alerts.

5. The system of claim 1, comprising an input component accepting one or more inputs from one or more of the users.

6. The system of claim 5, comprising a display component cycling through one or more display modes based on one or more of the inputs.

7. The system of claim 1, comprising an interface component communicatively coupling the system or the storage component to one or more devices or one or more servers.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the interface component comprises a docking station docking a mobile device to the system.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the interface component is transmitting one or more of the health parameters of the user or one or more of the alerts to the mobile device when the mobile device is docked to the docking station.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein one or more of the sensor components comprises a digital scale within the seat.

11. A system for monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users, comprising:

a steering wheel;

one or more sensor components embedded within the steering wheel, one or more of the sensor components monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users of the steering wheel;

a storage component storing one or more of the health parameters of the user; and

a warning component generating one or more alerts based on one or more of the health parameters of one or more of the users.

12. The system of claim 11, comprising a translating component converting one or more signals received by one or more of the sensor components into a storable format for the storage component.

13. The system of claim 11, comprising an emergency component transmitting one or more emergency alerts to one or more third parties.

14. The system of claim 11, comprising one or more peripheral components displaying one or more of the alerts or provide audio for one or more of the alerts.

15. The system of claim 11, comprising an input component accepting one or more inputs from one or more of the users.

16. The system of claim 11, comprising an interface component communicatively coupling the system or the storage component to one or more devices or one or more servers.

17. A system for monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users, comprising:

a seat comprising a seatbelt, a headrest, and a backrest;

one or more sensor components embedded within the seat, one or more of the sensor components monitoring one or more health parameters of one or more users positioned in the seat;

a storage component storing one or more of the health parameters of the user; and

a warning component generating one or more alerts based on one or more of the health parameters of one or more of the users.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein one or more of the sensor components comprises a heart rate monitor, wherein the heart rate monitor is woven into the seatbelt.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein one or more of the sensor components comprises a breathing monitor, wherein the breathing monitor is embedded in the backrest of the seat.

20. The system of claim 17, wherein one or more of the sensors components comprises a blood alcohol level monitor.
