Abstract
Various embodiments described herein relate to a wearable device for monitoring health parameters of a patient. According to various embodiments, a wearable device, associated mobile device, or other user device may receive health parameters of the user obtained by at least one sensor configured to sense one or more health parameters from the user; receive an identification of a medical alert to be provided to third parties with respect to the user, persist the identification of the medical alert in a memory of the user device, and repeatedly transmit at least one of the identification of the medical alert and an indication of the availability of the medical alert via a communications interface of the user device configured to communicate wirelessly with nearby reader devices.
Claims15
A user device comprising:
- a wireless communications interface configured to communicate wirelessly with nearby reader devices;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the communications interface and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive health parameters of the user obtained by at least one sensor configured to sense one or more health parameters from the user,
- receive an identification of a medical alert to be provided to third parties with respect to the user,
- persist the identification of the medical alert in the memory, and
- repeatedly broadcast, via the communications interface, a low energy beacon to establish a new low energy wireless communication link with one or more nearby reader devices, and
- transmit, over the low energy wireless communication link, at least one of the identification of the medical alert and an indication of the availability of the medical alert.
A method performed by a user device for providing medical alert information, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of the user device, health parameters of a user obtained by at least one sensor configured to sense one or more health parameters from the user;
- receiving an identification of a medical alert to be provided to third parties with respect to the user;
- persisting the identification of the medical alert in a memory of the user device;
- and
- repeatedly broadcasting, via a wireless communications interface, a low energy beacon to establish a new low energy wireless communication link with one or more nearby reader devices;
- and
- transmitting at least one of the identification of the medical alert and an indication of the availability of the medical alert over the wireless communication link.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by a user device for providing medical alert information, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions for receiving, by a processor of the user device, health parameters of the user obtained by at least one sensor configured to sense one or more health parameters from the user;
- instructions for receiving an identification of a medical alert to be provided to third parties with respect to the user;
- instructions for persisting the identification of the medical alert in a memory of the user device;
- and
- instructions for repeatedly broadcasting, via a wireless communications interface, a low energy beacon to establish a new low energy wireless communication link with one or more nearby reader devices;
- and
- instructions for transmitting, over the wireless communication link, at least one of the identification of the medical alert and an indication of the availability of the medical alert.
