Cloud-based analytical platform for health data pattern and trend analysis

A method of operating a cloud-based analytical platform for health data pattern and trend analysis, the method comprising:

• the cloud-based platform receiving, from a transmitter of a portable device, processed data derived from physiological data measurements gathered from sensors worn by a user, the sensors being communicatively coupled to the portable device;
• the cloud-based platform analyzing the received processed data;
• and
• the cloud-based platform transmitting the results of the analysis to at least one of the portable device and an authorized healthcare entity;
• wherein the analyzing of the received processed date comprises:
• using multi-parameter machine learning algorithms to automatically derive the current state of one or more physiological vital parameters and related health conditions for an individual user;
• automatically deriving deviations from baseline for each of the one or more physiological vital parameters of the user;
• and
• automatically deriving a long-term trend for each of the one or more physiological vital parameters of the user.
