Abstract

A device, method and system processes data about the user for determining and recommending a health/wellness action to the user. The action determined can be based on: (1) current biometric and/or motion data about the user (from the sensors), and (2) current health/medical information or condition about the user (from the user'"'"'s personal information, e.g., health library or programmed into the smartphone). Specific information about the user is taken into consideration when recommending user action, such as the user'"'"'s specific health or medical conditions.

Claims

1. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for recommending an action to a user for enhancing wellness or health of the user, the operations comprising:

receiving first data from a first sensor configured to sense motion of a user;

receiving second data from a second sensor configured to sense biometric data of the user;

processing the received first and second data and identifying a type of activity engaged in by the user;

determining a recommended action to be performed by the user in response to the identified type of activity and a current health/medical condition of the user; and

notifying the user of the recommended action.

2. The computer-readable storage medium in accordance with claim 1 wherein processing and identifying further comprises:

for different time periods, processing received data and identifying a type of activity for each of the different time periods.

3. The computer-readable storage medium in accordance with claim 1 wherein processing and identifying further comprises:

storing historical activity information for the user.

4. The computer-readable storage medium in accordance with claim 1 wherein the current health/medical condition of the user comprises a medical condition known to the user, the medical condition has associated therewith a health risk and the identified activity will increase the health risk to the user.

5. A mobile wearable device comprising:

a first sensor configured to sense motion of a user;

a second sensor configured to sense biometric data of the user; and

a processor configured to;

receive first data from the first sensor and receive second data from the second sensor,

identify the user'"'"'s type of activity based on the received first data and second data,

determine a recommended action to be performed by the user in response to the identified type of activity, and

notify the user of the recommended action.

6. The device in accordance with claim 5 wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive medical condition information about the user identifying a medical condition of the user; and

determine the recommended action to be performed by the user in response to the identified type of activity and the medical condition of the user.

7. The method in accordance with claim 6 wherein medical condition of the user has associated therewith a health risk and the identified activity will increase the health risk to the user.
