First Claim
1. A system to anticipate a need of a user, the system comprising:
- a data acquisition unit configured to detect user information, the user information including physiological and non-physiological data associated with the user, wherein the non-physiological data comprises location of the user, ambient temperature of the user, and information about internet-based user activity;
a prediction unit operatively connected to the data acquisition unit to receive the user information, and configured to anticipate a user need based on a pre-defined user preference, and the physiological data or the non-physiological data or both; and
an operation unit configured to automatically perform an operation to address the anticipated user need without user input.

Abstract
According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a system and associated method and functions to anticipate a need of a user are disclosed. In some embodiments, the disclosed system includes a data acquisition unit, a prediction unit, and an operation unit. The data acquisition unit is configured to detect user information, the user information including physiological and non-physiological data associated with the user. The prediction unit is operatively connected to the data acquisition unit to receive the user information, and is configured to anticipate a user need (e.g., need for medical assistance, need for language translation support, etc.) based on pre-defined user preferences, as well as on the physiological data or the non-physiological data or both. And, the operation unit is configured to automatically perform an operation, without user input, to address the user need (e.g., contact a medical facility, provide a language translation application to the user, etc.).
