Abstract
A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product directs a user using a physiological sensor to a needed medical resource. A real-time state of a medical condition of a user is determined based on readings from a physiological sensor on a user. A processing system correlates the real-time state of the medical condition of the user to a medical resource, which has been predetermined to have a capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user. Directions are then sent, to the user, for a temporally nearest medical resource that has been predetermined to have the capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user.
Claims20
A processor-implemented method of directing a user to a medical resource, the processor-implemented method comprising:
- a processor determining a real-time state of a medical condition of a user based on readings from a physiological sensor on a user;
- the processor correlating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user to a medical resource, wherein the medical resource has been predetermined to have a capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user;
- and
- the processor issuing, to the user, directions to a temporally closest medical resource that has been predetermined to have the capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user.
A computer program product for directing a user to a medical resource, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage media;
- first program instructions to determine a real-time state of a medical condition of a user based on readings from a physiological sensor on a user;
- second program instructions to correlate the real-time state of the medical condition of the user to a medical resource, wherein the medical resource has been predetermined to have a capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user;
- and
- third program instructions to issue, to the user, directions to a temporally closest medical resource that has been predetermined to have the capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user;
- and wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media;
- first program instructions to determine a real-time state of a medical condition of a user based on readings from a physiological sensor on a user;
- second program instructions to correlate the real-time state of the medical condition of the user to a medical resource, wherein the medical resource has been predetermined to have a capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user;
- and
- third program instructions to issue, to the user, directions to a temporally closest medical resource that has been predetermined to have the capability of ameliorating the real-time state of the medical condition of the user;
- and wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
