Abstract
A method for detecting allergic reaction and alerting a guardian device includes registering a wearable device to associate the wearable device with the guardian device. The wearable device then monitors vital signs to determine whether the vital signs are within an acceptable range. Based on the vital signs being outside the acceptable range, the wearable device sends an alert to the guardian device and determines whether a confirmation signal is received from the guardian device.
Claims16
A method, performed by a wearable device, for detecting allergic reaction and alerting a guardian device, the method comprising:
- registering the wearable device to associate the wearable device with the guardian device;
- monitoring vital signs to determine whether the vital signs indicate a moderate allergic reaction or a severe allergic reaction;
- based on the vital signs being outside an acceptable range, sending an alert to the guardian device;
- determining whether a confirmation signal is received from the guardian device;
- and
- resending the alert to the guardian device after a waiting period based on not receiving the confirmation signal, wherein
- the waiting period is longer when the vital signs indicate the moderate allergic reaction compared to when the vital signs indicate the severe allergic reaction.
A wearable device for detecting allergic reaction and alerting a guardian device, the wearable device including a processor to execute computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, so that when the instructions are executed, the wearable device is configured to:
- register the wearable device to associate the wearable device with the guardian device;
- monitor vital signs to determine whether the vital signs indicate a moderate allergic reaction or a severe allergic reaction;
- based on the vital signs being outside an acceptable range, send an alert to the guardian device;
- determine whether a confirmation signal is received from the guardian device;
- and
- resend the alert to the guardian device after a waiting period based on not receiving the confirmation signal, wherein
- the waiting period is longer when the vital signs indicate the moderate allergic reaction compared to when the vital signs indicate the severe allergic reaction.
