Abstract
Embodiments describe an approach to monitoring user health data. Determining if the user is having an emergency based on the user health data. Responsive to determining the user is having an emergency the user's location. Identifying one or more available parking spaces based on the user's location, and outputting locations of one or more available parking spaces to the user.
Claims20
A method for detecting a health emergency and assigning preferred parking, the method comprising:
- collecting, by one or more computing devices, user health data;
- determining, by one or more processors, a user is having an emergency based on the user health data collected by the one or more computing devices and the user health data falling below or above a predetermined threshold set by a medical professional;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a location of the user by accessing geographic location information of the user from the one or more computing devices;
- alerting, by the one or more processors, one or more medical professionals and one or more designated members of the determined emergency and the location of the user;
- identifying, by geo-fencing sensors and the one or more computing devices, one or more available parking spaces in a geo-fenced smart parking system based on the location of the user and proximity to an emergency facility, wherein the identifying one or more available parking spaces includes ranking the parking spaces in a hierarchical list based on respective proximity to an entrance of the emergency facility;
- assigning, by an emergency tracking component and the geo-fenced smart parking system, a preferred parking space to the user based on the identified one or more available parking spaces within the geo-fenced smart parking system, wherein the preferred parking space is an available parking space closest to the emergency facility, and wherein assigning a preferred parking space comprises:
- scanning a license plate of a vehicle associated with the user and assigning the vehicle associated with the user the preferred parking space;
- outputting, by the one or more processors, the preferred parking space within the geo-fenced smart parking system to the user;
- and
- storing, by the one or more processors, the user health data and vehicle data of the vehicle associated with the user in a database to be retrieved and used as a reference and element of analysis, wherein vehicle data comprises:
- license plate number, make and model of the vehicle, and car color.

A computer system for detecting a health emergency and assigning preferred parking, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage devices;
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to collect, by one or more computing devices, user health data;
- program instructions to determine a user is having an emergency based on the user health data collected by the one or more computing devices and the user health data falling below or above a predetermined threshold set by a medical professional;
- program instructions to identify a location of the user by accessing geographic location information of the user from the one or more computing devices;
- program instructions to alert one or more medical professionals and one or more designated members of the determined emergency and the location of the user;
- program instructions to identify, by geo-fencing sensors and the one or more computing devices, one or more available parking spaces in a geo-fenced smart parking system based on the location of the user and proximity to an emergency facility, wherein the identifying one or more available parking spaces includes ranking the parking spaces in a hierarchical list based on respective proximity to an entrance of the emergency facility;
- program instructions to assign, by an emergency tracking component and the geo-fenced smart parking system, a preferred parking space to the user based on the identified one or more available parking spaces within the geo-fenced smart parking system, wherein the preferred parking space is an available parking space closest to the emergency facility, and wherein assigning a preferred parking space comprises:
- program instructions to scan a license plate of a vehicle associated with the user and assigning the vehicle associated with the user the preferred parking space;
- program instructions to output the preferred parking space within the geo-fenced smart parking system to the user;
- and
- program instructions to store the user health data and vehicle data of the vehicle associated with the user in a database to be retrieved and used as a reference and element of analysis, wherein vehicle data comprises:
- license plate number, make and model of the vehicle, and car color.
