Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing an interactive interface to user health data is described.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a server, input to set a plurality of recipients for alerts;

receiving, by the server, data from a set of one or more sensors measuring health data for an actual user;

associating, by the server, the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

transmitting, by the server, the data associated with the virtual user to be displayed to a health care provider in a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface includes a user interface element for the health care provider to generate an alert and select a severity level for the alert;

receiving, by the server, the alert generated by the health care provider using the user interface element and the severity level selected by the health care provider;

transmitting, by the server, the alert generated by the health care provider to the actual user when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a first severity level; and

transmitting, by the server, the alert to the plurality of recipients when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a second severity level.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the virtual user includes data representing an age of the actual user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the virtual user includes data representing a weight of the actual user.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the server to a user device, a report to be displayed on the user device, the report including physical activity of the actual user over a plurality of days.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the report further includes a daily goal for the physical activity.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device within a server, cause the processing device to perform a method comprising:

receiving, by a server, input to set a plurality of recipients for alerts;

receiving, by the server, data from a set of one or more sensors measuring health data for an actual user;

associating, by the server, the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

transmitting, by the server, the data associated with the virtual user to be displayed to a health care provider in a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface includes a user interface element for the health care provider to generate an alert and select a severity level for the alert;

receiving, by the server, the alert generated by the health care provider using the user interface element and the severity level selected by the health care provider;

transmitting, by the server, the alert generated by the health care provider to the user when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a first severity level; and

transmitting, by the server, the alert to the plurality of recipients when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a second severity level.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6, wherein the virtual user includes data representing an age of the actual user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6, wherein the virtual user includes data representing a weight of the actual user.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6, the method further comprising:

transmitting, by the server to a user device, a report to be displayed on the user device, the report including physical activity of the actual user over a plurality of days.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the report further includes a daily goal for the physical activity.

11. A computer server comprising:

a processing device; and

a memory coupled to the processing device, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the computer server to;

receive input to set a plurality of recipients for alerts;

receive data from a set of one or more sensors measuring health data for an actual user;

associate the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

transmit the data associated with the virtual user to be displayed to a health care provider in a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface includes a user interface element for the health care provider to generate an alert and select a severity level for the alert;

receive the alert generated by the health care provider using the user interface element and the severity level selected by the health care provider;

transmit the alert generated by the health care provider to the user when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a first severity level; and

transmit the alert to the plurality of recipients when the server determines the severity level for the alert is of a second severity level.

12. The computer server of claim 11, wherein the virtual user includes data representing an age of the actual user.

13. The computer server of claim 11, wherein the virtual user includes data representing a weight of the actual user.

14. The computer server of claim 11, wherein execution of the instructions further cause the computer server to:

transmit, to a user device, a report to be displayed on the user device, the report including physical activity of the actual user over a plurality of days.
