1. A computer implemented method for administering devices, the method comprising:

  • creating by a computer a user metric vector comprising a plurality of disparate user metrics, wherein each user metric is a measurable aspect of a user'"'"'s condition, wherein the user is a person;

    creating by a computer a first user metric space that is associated with a first environment and specific to the person, the first user metric space comprising a first plurality of metric ranges, wherein each metric range in the first plurality of metric ranges includes a minimum value and a maximum value for each of the plurality of disparate user metrics included in the user metric vector;

    creating by a computer a second user metric space that is associated with a second environment and specific to the person, the second user metric space comprising a second plurality of metric ranges, wherein each metric range in the second plurality of metric ranges includes a minimum value and a maximum value for each of the plurality of disparate user metrics included in the user metric vector;

    responsive to determining the person is within the first environment,determining whether the user metric vector is outside the first user metric space;

    if the user metric vector is outside the first user metric space, identifying a first action in dependence upon the user metric vector; and

    executing the first action;

    responsive to determining the person is within the second environment,determining whether the user metric vector is outside the second user metric space;

    if the user metric vector is outside the second user metric space, identifying a second action in dependence upon the user metric vector; and

    executing the second action.
