Abstract

Methods and apparatus to form a biometric based information communication system are described. In some examples, the biometric based information communication system comprises biomedical devices with sensing means, wherein the sensing means produces a biometric result. In some examples the biometric based information communication system may comprise a user device such as a smart phone paired in communication with the biomedical device. A biometric measurement result may trigger a communication of a biometric based information communication message.

Claims

1. A method for communicating a targeted and individualized message comprising:

obtaining a first device, wherein the first device is capable to measure at least a first biometric of a user;

measuring the first biometric with the first device to obtain biometric data;

obtaining a second device, wherein the second device includes a display and a network communication device;

authorizing a paired communication between the first device and the second device;

communicating the biometric data from the first device to the second device;

determining a location of the first device with the second device to obtain location data;

communicating the biometric data and the location data to a computing device connected to a network;

authorizing the computing device, via a signal from the first device, to obtain behavioral information and environmental data related to the location data;

authorizing the computing device to Initiate an algorithm to be executed to retrieve a targeted and individualized content based on the biometric data, the behavioral information, the environmental data, the location data and an individualized preference determination calculated via predictive analysis to generate the targeted and individualized content;

receiving a message comprising the targeted and individualized content to the second device; and

displaying the message to the user.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first device comprises a worn biomedical device.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the worn biomedical device is a contact lens.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the worn biomedical device is a smart ring.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the second device comprises a smart phone.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the second device comprises a smart watch.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein the first device comprises a sub-cutaneous biomedical device.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the targeted and individualized content comprises at least one of an advertisement or promotional content.
