First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for calculating a health quality measure, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor deployed in a communication network, characteristics of motion information, wherein the characteristics of motion information is based upon gait information;
monitoring, by the processor, the characteristics of motion information over a time period to determine a plurality of different modes of motion within the time period, wherein the plurality of different modes of motion comprises;
running, walking, jumping, standing, and sitting; and
calculating, by the processor, the health quality measure based upon the plurality of different modes of motion, wherein the health quality measure comprises a number of medical episodes during the time period.
