determining an atypical health condition based on the movement and a position of the occupant in the vehicle; determining if the occupant is breathing, based on an analysis performed by the vehicle; verifying the atypical health condition by the vehicle, based on received data from a device proximate the occupant; and sending a notification to an entity, based on the verification; wherein the atypical health condition of the occupant is based on a role of the occupant associated with a location of the occupant in the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: determining the atypical health condition when the occupant remains in a final position after the movement for an amount of time greater than a threshold. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the notification is sent to a device associated with another occupant of the vehicle, wherein the another occupant is proximate the occupant. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: sending the notification to another vehicle proximate the vehicle; and responsive to the sending, receiving a response including another occupant that is proximate the another vehicle that can assist. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: determining a meeting location of an emergency vehicle associated with the entity when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: determining a final destination of the vehicle when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold, wherein the final destination is at least one of: an emergency vehicle; and a hospital. ### Claim 7 A system, comprising: a processor; and a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are communicably coupled, wherein the processor: determines a movement of an occupant in a vehicle; determines an atypical health condition based on the movement and a position of the occupant in the vehicle; determines if the occupant breathes, based on an analysis performed by the vehicle; verifies the atypical health condition by the vehicle, based on received data from a device proximate the occupant; and sends a notification to an entity, based on the verification; wherein the atypical health condition of the occupant is based on a role of the occupant associated with a location of the occupant in the vehicle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the processor: determines the atypical health condition when the occupant remains in a final position after the movement for an amount of time greater than a threshold. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the notification is sent to a device associated with another occupant of the vehicle, wherein the another occupant is proximate the occupant. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the processor: sends the notification to another vehicle proximate the vehicle; and responsive to the send, receives a response that includes another occupant that is proximate the another vehicle that can assist. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the processor: determines a meeting location of an emergency vehicle associated with the entity when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the processor: determines a final destination of the vehicle when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold, wherein the final destination is at least one of: an emergency vehicle; and a hospital. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform: determining a movement of an occupant in a vehicle; determining an atypical health condition based on the movement and a position of the occupant in the vehicle; determining if the occupant is breathing, based on an analysis performed by the vehicle; verifying the atypical health condition by the vehicle, based on received data from a device proximate the occupant; and sending a notification to an entity, based on the verification; wherein the atypical health condition of the occupant is based on a role of the occupant associated with a location of the occupant in the vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform: determining the atypical health condition when the occupant remains in a final position after the movement for an amount of time greater than a threshold. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the notification is sent to a device associated with another occupant of the vehicle, wherein the another occupant is proximate the occupant. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform: sending the notification to another vehicle proximate the vehicle; and responsive to the sending, receiving a response including another occupant that is proximate the another vehicle that can assist. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform: determining a meeting location of an emergency vehicle associated with the entity when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold; and determining a final destination of the vehicle when the atypical health condition is greater than a threshold, wherein the final destination is at least one of: an emergency vehicle; and a hospital.
