1. A multimedia delivery device, comprising:
- a network interface device configured to connect to a data network device of a communication network and to receive, via the data network device, a multimedia signal;
a decoding device configured to decode the multimedia signal to produce a decoded signal and to provide the decoded signal to a display device;
a sensor interface device coupled to the network interface device, wherein the sensor interface device is configured to interface with a sensor that gathers biometric data;
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
monitoring, by the multimedia delivery device, the biometric data received from the sensor;
determining, by the multimedia delivery device, that a defined threshold condition of the biometric data has been satisfied based on the monitoring;
associating, by the multimedia delivery device, the biometric data with a subject identity in response to the determining that the defined threshold condition of the biometric data has been satisfied;
generating summary data representative of a summary of at least a portion of the biometric data that satisfies the defined threshold condition;
determining, by the multimedia delivery device, whether a network outage condition associated with the data network device of the communication network exists; and
conditionally storing, by the multimedia device, the summary data when the network outage condition is determined to exist.

Abstract
The subject disclosure provides a system and method for a set-top box for monitoring telehealth and biometric sensors. A subject patient is associated with telehealth and biometric sensors which measure the subject patient'"'"'s vital signs and other health related attributes. In one aspect, the system includes a set-top box for continuously gathering biometric and telehealth sensor data. The set-top box includes a sensor interface for interfacing with the sensors and supports wireless and wired connections to the sensors. The system additionally may include a system management station for providing feedback to the subject patient.

13. A method, comprising:
-
interfacing, by a multimedia delivery system comprising a processor and a sensor interface, to a telehealth sensor that gathers biometric data, wherein the multimedia delivery system facilitates presentation, to a display device, of media content received from a media content provider via a network device of a communication network; processing, by the multimedia delivery system, the biometric data from the telehealth sensor to determine that a value for the biometric data satisfies a defined threshold condition; associating, by the multimedia delivery system, the biometric data from the telehealth sensor with a subject identity in response to determining that the value for the biometric data meets the defined threshold condition; generating, by the multimedia delivery system, summary data representative of a summary of at least a portion of the biometric data that satisfies the defined threshold condition; conditionally storing, by the multimedia delivery system, the summary data in response to the condition that a network outage condition has been determined to exist; and transmitting, by the multimedia delivery system, the summary data to a device associated with a healthcare provider identity in response to determining that the value for the biometric data satisfies the defined threshold condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
interfacing, by a media device comprising a processor and a sensor interface, to a telehealth sensor that collects biometric data, wherein the media device is configured to present, to a display device, media content received from a media content provider device associated with a media content provider identity via a network device; determining, by the media device, whether a data value for the biometric data has satisfied a defined condition; generating, by the media device, summary data indicative of a summary of at least a portion of the biometric data that relates to the defined condition being satisfied; associating, by the media device, the biometric data from the telehealth sensor with an identity in response to the defined condition being determined to have been satisfied; conditionally storing, by the media device, the summary data in response to the condition that a network outage condition is determined to exist; and transmitting, by the media device, the summary data to a healthcare provider device associated with a healthcare provider identity in response to the defined condition being determined to have been satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
