1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a remote aggregation system including a processing system including a processor, individual syndromes collected by mobile personal medical devices associated with bodies, respectively, wherein the individual syndromes comprise medical information measured within the respective bodies by the mobile personal medical devices, respectively;
aggregating, by the remote aggregation system, the individual syndromes by comparing the individual syndromes to determine whether a similarity exists between the individual syndromes;
receiving, by the remote aggregation system, movement information from the mobile personal medical devices;
receiving, by the remote aggregation system, proximity information from the mobile personal medical devices, wherein the proximity information identifies groups of the mobile personal medical devices that have been in proximity to each other;
determining whether an environmental syndrome exists for a plurality of the individual syndromes based on the movement information, the proximity information and a determination that the similarity exists between the individual syndromes;
transmitting an alert to the mobile personal medical devices; and
transmitting the alert to a target mobile personal medical device that did not collect one of the individual syndromes.

Abstract
A method of aggregating medical information can include receiving, at a remote aggregation system, individual syndromes collected by mobile personal medical devices associated with respective bodies as the mobile personal medical devices move within an environment, aggregating the individual syndromes at the remote aggregation system, and determining whether an environmental syndrome exists for at least some of the individual syndromes. Related systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

15. A system comprising:
-
a memory comprising machine-readable program code; and a processing system including a processor circuit coupled to the memory and configured to execute the machine-readable program code to facilitate performance of operations the operations comprising; receiving individual syndromes collected by mobile personal medical devices associated with bodies, respectively, to aggregate the individual syndromes, wherein the individual syndromes collected by the mobile personal medical devices are collected by sensors configured to communicate with the mobile personal medical devices as the mobile personal medical devices become proximate to the sensors; receiving movement information from the mobile personal medical devices; receiving proximity information from the mobile personal medical devices, wherein the proximity information identifies groups of the mobile personal medical devices that have been in proximity to each other; comparing the individual syndromes to determine whether a similarity exists between the individual syndromes; determining whether an environmental syndrome exists for a plurality of the individual syndromes based on the movement information, the proximity information and a determination that the similarity exists between the individual syndromes, wherein the individual syndromes comprise medical information measured within the respective bodies by the mobile personal medical device devices, respectively; and transmitting a broadcast message to other mobile personal medical devices to enable transmission of the medical information to the processor circuit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product for aggregating medical information, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
-
computer readable program code configured to receive individual syndromes collected by mobile personal medical devices associated with bodies, respectively, wherein the individual syndromes comprise medical information measured within the respective bodies by the mobile personal medical devices, respectively; computer readable program code configured to receive movement information from the mobile personal medical devices; computer readable program code configured to receive proximity information from the mobile personal medical devices, wherein the proximity information identifies groups of the mobile personal medical devices that have been in proximity to each other; computer readable program code configured to access a persistent long-term storage device to retrieve historical medical information associated with one of the bodies using an identifier that is received with the individual syndromes, wherein the identifier identifies one of the mobile personal medical devices associated with the one of the bodies; computer readable program code configured to aggregate the individual syndromes by comparing the individual syndromes to determine whether a similarity exists between the individual syndromes; and computer readable program code configured to determine whether an environmental syndrome exists for a plurality of the individual syndromes based on the movement information, the proximity information and a determination that the similarity exists between the individual syndromes.
