Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments of systems and methods related to determining beneficial and customized surroundings for a subject in a healthcare setting or related type setting, based at least in part on the subject'"'"'s personal profile including one or more of personal health information, detected biological data, input from the subject itself, or input from a healthcare worker.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

one or more rooms in a healthcare setting for a subject, the one or more rooms operably connected to one or more computing devices having a non-transitory signal bearing medium operable to

change the composition of the one or more rooms by the addition, subtraction, or modification of at least one Environmental Supplement in response to accepting data related to a subject;

converting the data related to a subject into a personal profile;

comparing the subject'"'"'s personal profile to at least one Environmental Supplement dataset for enhancing the one or more rooms;

selecting at least one Environmental Supplement that correlates as beneficial to the subject based on the comparison; and

generating output related to the selected at least one Environmental Supplement.

2. The system of claim 1, further including comparing the subject'"'"'s personal profile to at least one personal profile dataset of one or more other subject'"'"'s personal profiles prior to comparing with the at least one Environmental Supplement dataset.

3. The system of claim 1, further including selecting at least one matching or correlating second personal profile from the personal profile dataset prior to comparing with the at least one Environmental Supplement dataset.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the output includes one or more suggestions or options for one or more Environmental Supplement determined to be beneficial to the subject'"'"'s health.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more Environmental Supplements include one or more customized settings for at least one of temperature;

lightness or darkness;

humidity;

vibration or other movement, influx of fresh air from outdoors or filtered air, images, sounds, or scents.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the system includes one or more devices for providing one or more Environmental Supplements include at least one of an audio delivery device or visual display device.

23. The system of claim 1, wherein the data related to the subject includes at least one of personal health records, input from one or more sensors, input from at least one healthcare worker, or input from the subject.

28. The system of claim 1, wherein the data related to the subject includes at least one of sensed data, stored data, or broadcast data.

29. The system of claim 1, wherein the selected Environmental Supplements are altered based on cyclic aspects correlated with the data related to the subject or a specific time period.

30. The system of claim 29, wherein the cyclic aspects include cycling one or more Environmental Supplements on a regular schedule as determined by the data related to the subject or a specific time period.

31. The system of claim 1, further including providing instructions for altering the subject'"'"'s surroundings to correspond to the selected Environmental Supplements if a condition threshold has been satisfied.

32. The system of claim 31, wherein the condition threshold includes one or more of time, change in the subject'"'"'s health, or request by the subject.

33. The system of claim 1, wherein the accepting data includes continuous input of data related to the subject.

36. The system of claim 1, wherein accepting the data related to the subject is conducted by remote control.

37. The system of claim 1, wherein accepting the data related to the subject is conducted by manual input.

38. The system of claim 1, wherein the setting of the subject includes at least one of a labor/delivery room, neonate room, intensive care unit, emergency room, psychiatric ward/room, pediatric ward/room, diagnostic ward/room, examination ward/room, cancer treatment center, Alzheimer'"'"'s unit, eldercare unit, or long term care facility with a room, apartment, or other living area occupied by a subject.

41. A system, comprising:

one or more rooms in a healthcare setting for a subject, the one or more rooms operably connected to one or more computing devices having a non-transitory signal bearing medium operable to

change the composition of the one or more rooms by the addition, subtraction, or modification of at least one Environmental Supplement in response to accepting data related to a subject;

converting the data related to a subject into a personal profile;

comparing the subject'"'"'s personal profile to at least one Environmental Supplement dataset for enhancing the one or more rooms;

determining as a choice for the subject at least one Environmental Supplement that correlates as beneficial to the subject based on the comparison; and

generating output related to the determined at least one Environmental Supplement.

42. The system of claim 41, further including comparing the subject'"'"'s personal profile to at least one personal profile dataset of one or more other subject'"'"'s personal profiles prior to comparing with the at least one Environmental Supplement dataset.

43. The system of claim 41, further including selecting at least one matching or correlating second personal profile from the personal profile dataset prior to comparing with the at least one Environmental Supplement dataset.

44. The system of claim 41, wherein the output includes one or more suggestions or options for one or more Environmental Supplement determined to be beneficial to the subject'"'"'s health.

45. The system of claim 41, wherein the one or more Environmental Supplements include one or more customized settings for at least one of temperature;

lightness or darkness;

humidity;

vibration or other movement, influx of fresh air from outdoors or filtered air, images, sounds, or scents.

46. The system of claim 41, wherein the system includes one or more devices for providing one or more Environmental Supplements include at least one of an audio delivery device or visual display device.

63. The system of claim 41, wherein the data related to the subject includes at least one of personal health records, input from one or more sensors, input from at least one healthcare worker, or input from the subject.

68. The system of claim 41, wherein the data related to the subject includes at least one of sensed data, stored data, or broadcast data.

69. The system of claim 41, wherein the selected Environmental Supplements are altered based on cyclic aspects correlated with the data related to the subject or a specific time period.

70. The system of claim 69, wherein the cyclic aspects include cycling one or more Environmental Supplements on a regular schedule as determined by the data related to the subject or a specific time period.

71. The system of claim 41, further including providing instructions for altering the subject'"'"'s surroundings to correspond to the selected Environmental Supplements if a condition threshold has been satisfied.

72. The system of claim 71, wherein the condition threshold includes one or more of time, change in the subject'"'"'s health, or request by the subject.

73. The system of claim 41, wherein the accepting data includes continuous input of data related to the subject.

74. The system of claim 41, wherein the Environmental Supplement includes mimicry of a dynamic spatial or temporal image.

75. The system of claim 74, wherein the dynamic spatial or temporal image includes at least one of an image of daylight turning to darkness, traveling on land, air, or sea.

76. The system of claim 41, wherein accepting the data related to the subject is conducted by remote control.
