Mobile health device and method for determining patient territory as a digital biomarker while preserving patient privacy
First Claim
1. A mobile health device comprising:
- a geolocation coordinate generator for generating geolocation data and corresponding time points, the geolocation data comprising at least latitude and longitude coordinates;
a mobile health-based application that receives the geolocation data and corresponding time points from the geolocation coordinate generator; and
a processor that uses vector-based calculations stored in the mobile health-based application to transform the geolocation data and corresponding time points into vectors corresponding to intervals between the corresponding received time points, wherein the vectors do not contain any geolocation data, and to determine a patient territory digital biomarker based upon the vectors.

Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for use and processing of patient geolocation data in order to objectively determine a patient'"'"'s territory as an artificially created digital biomarker while maintaining locational privacy. The objective determination of a patient'"'"'s territory, defined as the area traversed in a specific time interval, can be used as a measurement of quality of life, as well as socio-economic contribution and benefit. Devices and methods are also disclosed for creating an artificial Overall Territory Activity Digital Biomarker based on Patient Activity Factors in addition to the Patient Territory Digital Biomarker, and which Overall Territory Activity Digital Biomarker also maintains locational data privacy. Furthermore, devices and methods are disclosed for capturing and transmitting digital biospecimens, the transformed geolocation data used to determine the Patient Territory Digital Biomarker. The digital biospecimen data can be subsequently used to create alternative, data privacy-preserving determinations of Patient Territory Digital Biomarkers, Patient Activity Factors, and/or Overall Territory Activity Digital Biomarkers.
