Claims19
A system for improving the emotional and physical health of a user, comprising a microphone for capturing sound,
- a speaker for uttering verbal responses,
- a camera,
- a memory encoded with machine-readable code, and
- a processor connected with the memory and configured by logic defined by the machine-readable code to identify one or more emotional or physiological states of a user based on image data received from the camera and voice data received from the microphone, and comparing these to previously captured image data and voice prints, obtained from one or more of third parties, and the user, using an artificial intelligence (AI) network to perform analytics, wherein corroboration of a user's emotional or physiological state is provided by correlations between emotional and physiological states identified from the voice data, and emotional and physiological states identified from the images data.
A method of improving the emotional and physiological health of a user, comprising monitoring the user with sensors and responding to the user's needs based on verbal signals and images captured from the user via the sensors, wherein the verbal signals and images are compared in time to corroborate each other in order to identify and validate one or more emotional or physiological states of the user.
