## Abstract

An artificial intelligence-based method includes calculating, by a wearable device, a biometric index based on a plurality of biometric indicators associated with a user of the wearable device, based on the biometric index exceeding a threshold, identifying a change in a context of the user, determining whether the calculated biometric index is associated with the change in the context, based on the calculated biometric index being associated with the change, searching for an Internet of Things device available within the context, transmitting a notification to the Internet of Things device requesting assistance to the user, and in response to transmitting the notification, measuring a change in the biometric index.
