Abstract
A system includes physiologic sensors and devices. The physiologic sensors sense human physiologic data and the system processes and transmits signals representing the physiologic data. The physiologic data represent at least one physiologic parameter, such as heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, body temperature, blood chemistry, other blood constituents, muscle contraction, movement, activity, speech, and brain waves. The system also determines that a device and an object are in proximity to each other, and secures physiologic data at times when the device and object are in proximity to each other, in order to correlate a person's physiologic state while in proximity with or while using the object.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- (a) at a mobile device, based on the mobile device and a first object-associated element being in proximity to each other, wherein the first object-associated element is associated with a first product, and wherein the mobile device is distinct from the first object-associated element and the first product, receiving a first signal from the first object-associated element, the first signal comprising a first identifier of at least one of the first product and the first object-associated element;
- (b) at the mobile device, storing a second identifier that represents at least one of a unique identity of the mobile device and an identity of a user;
- (c) at the mobile device, after receiving the first signal, transmitting a second signal, the second signal comprising the first identifier, to a remote server, wherein the remote server and the mobile device are distinct from each other;
- (d) at the mobile device, after storing the second identifier, transmitting a third signal, comprising the second identifier, to the remote server;
- (e) at the mobile device, after receiving the first signal, receiving a fourth signal, the fourth signal comprising a first value of a first physiologic parameter of the user, from a first physiologic sensor associated with the user;
- (f) at the mobile device, after receiving the fourth signal, transmitting a fifth signal, the fifth signal comprising the first value of the first physiologic parameter, to the remote server;
- and
- (g) at the mobile device, after receiving the fourth signal, the fourth signal comprising the first value of the first physiologic parameter, processing data comprising the first value to generate first summary data.
A system comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, the computer program instructions being executable by at least one processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- (a) at a mobile device, based on the mobile device and a first object-associated element being in proximity to each other, wherein the first object-associated element is associated with a first product, and wherein the mobile device is distinct from the first object-associated element and the first product, receiving a first signal from the first object-associated element, the first signal comprising a first identifier of at least one of the first product and the first object-associated element;
- (b) at the mobile device, storing a second identifier that represents at least one of a unique identity of the mobile device and an identity of a user;
- (c) at the mobile device, after receiving the first signal, transmitting a second signal, the second signal comprising the first identifier, to a remote server, wherein the remote server and the mobile device are distinct from each other;
- (d) at the mobile device, after storing the second identifier, transmitting a third signal, comprising the second identifier, to the remote server;
- (e) at the mobile device, after receiving the first signal, receiving a fourth signal, the fourth signal comprising a first value of a first physiologic parameter of the user, from a first physiologic sensor associated with the user;
- (f) at the mobile device, after receiving the fourth signal, transmitting a fifth signal, the fifth signal comprising the first value of the first physiologic parameter, to the remote server;
- and
- (g) at the mobile device, after receiving the fourth signal, the fourth signal comprising the first value of the first physiologic parameter, processing data comprising the first value to generate first summary data.
