Abstract

Methods, systems, and products measure health data related to a user. Often times a weight scale, blood pressure monitor, or other medical measurement device is shared among a group of users. A time-stamped physiological measurement is compared to a time-stamped message from a mobile device. If the timestamps are contemporaneous, then the physiological measurement is bound to the mobile device.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a hardware processor; and

a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;

receiving a time-stamped communication via a network from a mobile device;

receiving a time-stamped physiological measurement via the network from a medical measurement device;

determining that the time-stamped communication is contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement based on a genre of music associated with the mobile device; and

storing an entry in an electronic database that associates the time-stamped communication to the time-stamped physiological measurement in response to the determining that the time-stamped communication is contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise determining the time-stamped communication is not contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a name associated with the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the operations further comprise electronically associating the name to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a name associated with a user of the mobile device.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the operations further comprise electronically associating the name to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise determining a user associated with the mobile device.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise electronically associating the user to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a server, a time-stamped communication via a network from a mobile device;

receiving, by the server, a time-stamped physiological measurement via the network from a medical measurement device;

determining, by the server, that the time-stamped communication is contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement based on a genre of music associated with the mobile device; and

storing, by the server, an entry in an electronic database that associates the time-stamped communication to the time-stamped physiological measurement in response to the determining that the time-stamped communication is contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising determining the time-stamped communication is not contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising retrieving a name associated with the mobile device.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising electronically associating the name to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

13. The method of claim 9, further comprising retrieving a name associated with a user of the mobile device.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising electronically associating the name to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

15. The method of claim 9, further comprising determining a user associated with the mobile device.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising electronically associating the user to the time-stamped physiological measurement.

17. A memory device storing code that when executed causes a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a time-stamped communication via a network from a mobile device;

receiving a time-stamped physiological measurement via the network from a medical measurement device;

determining that the time-stamped communication is contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement based on a genre of music associated with the mobile device; and

storing an entry in an electronic database that associates the time-stamped communication to the time-stamped physiological measurement in response to the determining of the contemporaneous based on the genre of music associated with the mobile device.

18. The memory device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise determining the time-stamped communication is not contemporaneous with the time-stamped physiological measurement.

19. The memory device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise determining a name associated with the mobile device.

20. The memory device of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise electronically associating the name to the time-stamped physiological measurement.
