Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a first-aid kit including at least one first aid item; and a wearable device configured to be worn by a user and including: a communications interface for communicating with a mobile device of the user; a sensor for obtaining vitals data when the wearable device is worn by the user; a processor configured to transmit vitals data to a mobile phone of the user via the communications interface wherein the first aid kit includes a means for causing instructions for processing the vitals data to be loaded onto the mobile device. In some such embodiments, the means for causing instructions to be loaded includes: a memory storing contents including at least one of: the instructions for processing the vitals, and a resource identifier that points to the instructions for processing the vitals at an application download server, wherein the contents are transmitted to the mobile device.

Claims

1. A first aid kit comprising:

at least one first aid item including a first first-aid item associated with an identifier; and

a wearable device configured to be worn by a user and comprising;

a communications interface for communicating with a mobile device of the user;

a sensor for obtaining vitals data when the wearable device is worn by the user;

a processor configured to;

transmit vitals data to a mobile device of the user via the communications interface,

read the identifier from the first-aid item, and

transmit, to the mobile device, a notification based on reading the identifier.

2. The first aid kit of claim 1, wherein the first aid kit comprises means for causing instructions for processing the vitals data to be loaded onto the mobile device, comprising:

a memory storing contents comprising at least one of;

the instructions for processing the vitals data, and

a resource identifier that points to the instructions for processing the vitals data at an application download server,

wherein the contents of the memory are transmitted to the mobile device.

3. The first aid kit of claim 2, wherein the wearable device comprises the memory.

4. The first aid kit of claim 1, wherein the first kit aid comprises means for causing instructions for processing the vitals data to be loaded onto the mobile device, comprising:

a visible indicia that, when read by a camera of the mobile device, communicates a resource identifier that points to the instructions for processing the vitals data at an application download server.

5. The first aid kit of claim 1, wherein:

the processor of the wearable device is further configured to;

determine, based at least in part of reading the identifier, that the first first-aid item is in use,

wherein the notification comprises an indication that first first-aid item is in use.

6. The first aid kit of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises the identifier.

7. The first aid kit of claim 5 wherein, in reading the identifier, the processor is configured to read the identifier via short-range wireless communication.

8. The first aid kit of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit to the mobile device an identification of contents within the first-aid kit.

9. A wearable device for inclusion in a first aid kit with at least one first aid kit item, the wearable device comprising:

a communications interface for communicating with a mobile device of a user;

a sensor for obtaining vitals data when the wearable device is worn by the user;

a processor configured to;

read an identifier from a first first-aid item of the at least one first aid kit item, and

transmit vitals data and a notification based on the identifier to a mobile device of the user via the communications interface.

10. The wearable device of claim 9, further comprising:

a memory storing contents comprising at least one of;

the instructions for processing the vitals data, and

a resource identifier that points to the instructions for processing the vitals data at an application download server,

wherein the processor is further configure to transmit the contents of the memory to the mobile device.

11. The wearable device of claim 9, further comprising:

a visible indicia that, when read by a camera of the mobile device, communicates a resource identifier that points to the instructions for processing the vitals data at an application download server.

12. The wearable device of claim 9, wherein:

the processor of the wearable device is further configured to;

determine, based at least in part of reading the identifier, that the first first-aid item is in use,

wherein the notification comprises an indication that first first-aid item is in use.

13. The wearable device of claim 9, wherein the notification comprises the identifier.

14. The wearable device of claim 12 wherein, in reading the identifier, the processor is configured to read the identifier via short-range wireless communication.

15. The wearable device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit to the mobile device an identification of contents within the first-aid kit.
