## Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, first data from a first device, wherein the first device is affixed to the transport, receiving, by the transport, second data from a second device, wherein the second device is detachably attached to the transport and wherein the first data and the second data constitute a same unit of measure, and displaying, by the transport, a value based on the first data and the second data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a transport, consent to use device data from a mobile device, wherein the consent is input by a user via a mobile application on the mobile device;
receiving, by the transport, first data from a first device installed in the transport, wherein the first data includes a first measurement of an occupant of the transport which is not related to functions of the transport;
receiving, by the transport, second data from the mobile device while the mobile device is in the transport, wherein the second data includes a second measurement of the occupant of the transport which is not related to the functions of the transport;
weighting the second data more heavily than the first data based on the first data and the second data not being related to the functions of the transport;
determining that an abnormal condition has occurred with respect to the occupant of the transport based on the weighted first data and the weighted second data;
calculating, by the transport, a final value based on the weighted first data and the weighted second data; and
displaying, by the transport, the final value via a dashboard display of the transport based on the consent received from the mobile application on the mobile device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second data comprises a device being worn by the occupant of the transport.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first measurement and the second measurement comprise biometric readings of the occupant of the transport.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
executing a smart contract to record the final value in a blockchain responsive to a blockchain consensus.

### Claim 5

A transport, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and being configured to:
receive, by the transport, consent to use device data from a mobile device, wherein the consent is input by a user via a mobile application on the mobile device;
receive first data from a first device installed in the transport, wherein the first data includes a first measurement of an occupant of the transport which is not related to functions of the transport;
receive second data from the mobile device while the mobile device is within the transport, wherein the second data includes a second measurement of the occupant of the transport which is not related to the functions of the transport;
weight the second data more heavily than the first data based on the first data and the second data not being related to the functions of the transport;
determine that an abnormal condition has occurred with respect to the occupant of the transport based on the weighted first data and the weighted second data;
calculate a final value based on the weighed first data and the weighted second data; and
display the final value via a dashboard display of the transport based on the consent received from the mobile application on the mobile device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The transport of claim 5, wherein the second data comprises a device being worn by the occupant of the transport.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The transport of claim 5, wherein the first measurement and the second measurement comprise biometric readings of the occupant.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The transport of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to:
execute a smart contract to record the final value in a blockchain responsive to a blockchain consensus.

### Claim 9

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor of a transport cause the processor to perform:
receiving, by the transport, consent to use device data from a mobile device, wherein the consent is input by a user via a mobile application on the mobile device;
receiving, by the transport, first data from a first device installed in the transport, wherein the first data includes a first measurement of a characteristic of an occupant of the transport which is not related to functions of the transport;
receiving, by the transport, second data from the mobile device while the mobile device is within the transport, wherein the second data includes a second measurement of the occupant of the transport which is not related to the functions of the transport;
weighting the second data more heavily than the first data based on the first data and the second data not being related to the functions of the transport;
determining that an abnormal condition has occurred with respect to the occupant of the transport based on the weighted first data and the weighted second data;
calculating, by the transport, a final value based on the weighted first data and the weighted second data; and
displaying, by the transport, the final value via a dashboard display of the transport based on the consent received from the mobile application on the mobile device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the second data comprises a device being worn by the occupant of the transport.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the first measurement and the second measurement comprise biometric readings of the occupant.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
executing a smart contract to record the final value in a blockchain responsive to a blockchain consensus.
