Leveraging Wearable Sensors for Context-Aware Personalized Recommendations

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• generate, based at least in part on user-provided information, one or more health-related recommendations to the user;
• monitor, based at least in part on data derived from one or more wearable sensors worn by the user, user activity;
• determine deviation information related to one or more deviations from the one or more health-related recommendations by the user, based at least in part on a comparison of the monitored activity to the one or more health-related recommendations;
• determine one or more items of user-specific context information based at least in part on one or more of (i) the user-provided information and (ii) information derived from one or more additional sources;
• and
• generate, based at least in part on the deviation information and the one or more items of user-specific context information, (i) one or more additional health-related recommendations to the user and (ii) one or more incentives related to carrying out the one or more additional health-related recommendations.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor operably coupled to the memory and configured for:
• generating, based at least in part on user-provided information, one or more health-related recommendations to the user;
• monitoring, based at least in part on data derived from one or more wearable sensors worn by the user, user activity;
• determining deviation information related to one or more deviations from the one or more health-related recommendations by the user, based at least in part on a comparison of the monitored activity to the one or more health-related recommendations;
• determining one or more items of user-specific context information based at least in part on one or more of (i) the user-provided information and (ii) information derived from one or more additional sources;
• and
• generating, based at least in part on the deviation information and the one or more items of user-specific context information, (i) one or more additional health-related recommendations to the user and (ii) one or more incentives related to carrying out the one or more additional health-related recommendations.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising steps of:

• generating, based at least in part on user-provided information, one or more health-related recommendations to the user;
• monitoring, based at least in part on data derived from one or more wearable sensors worn by the user, user activity;
• determining deviation information related to one or more deviations from the one or more health-related recommendations by the user, based at least in part on a comparison of the monitored activity to the one or more health-related recommendations;
• determining one or more items of user-specific context information, based at least in part on one or more of (i) the user-provided information and (ii) information derived from one or more additional sources;
• generating, based at least in part on the deviation information and the one or more items of user-specific context information, (i) one or more additional health-related recommendations to the user, (ii) one or more incentives related to carrying out the one or more additional health-related recommendations, and (iii) one or more penalties related to failing to carry out the one or more additional health-related recommendations;
• and
• generating a user score based at least in part on comparing, for the user to that of one or more previous users, (i) the user-provided information, (ii) the deviation information, (iii) the one or more additional health-related recommendations, (iv) the one or more incentives related to carrying out the one or more additional health-related recommendations, and (v) the one or more penalties related to failing to carry out the one or more additional health-related recommendations;
• wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
