A wearable device for allowing a person to privately self-authenticate that data determined or collected by the device is “of the person.” Applications include a wellness device for determining measurements of the person's health, where then the measurements are assured to be of the person. The preferred configuration is a traditional “smartwatch” or “fitness tracker” that Includes traditional sensors for determining biometric Information from the wrist including a wrist pulse. The wearable comprises a fingerprint reader that also determines the finger pulse substantially simultaneously with reading the fingerprint. Self-authentication is accomplished by first securing the wearable to the person, second and substantially simultaneously determining the fingerprint, finger pulse, and wrist pulse, and third if the finger and wrist pulse are determined to be substantially matching, then the fingerprint is accepted as identification of the person and serves as an ID for aggregating person data up until the point the wearable is determined to be unsecured.
A method for using a combination of a wearable device and one or more health measurement devices for determining and authenticating the provenance of a multiplicity of health measurements to be of a same pre-registered person, where the multiplicity is determined over a continuous duration of time for which the wearable device is confirmed to be affixed to the same pre-registered person, where the identity of the person is confirmed to match a pre-registered biometric ID only once and prior to taking any of the multiplicity of health measurements during the continuous duration, and where each of the wearable device and the health measurement device comprises a heartbeat sensor, comprising the steps of:
A health assessment system comprising a wearable device and one or more health measurement devices for determining on-going health information authenticated to be relating to a same pre-registered person, comprising:
