Abstract
Multiple health profiles from multiple personal health monitoring systems are compiled. The multiple personal health monitoring systems each monitor a current health profile including physical parameters and environmental parameters indicative of the current health of one of multiple users. The physical parameters and environmental parameters of each of the multiple health profiles are compared to determine health affecting factors for the multiple users, such that health affecting factors of public health are audited.
Claims24
A method for auditing public health, said method comprising the steps of:
- compiling a plurality of health profiles from a plurality of personal health monitoring systems each respectively monitoring a current health profile including physical parameters and environmental parameters indicative of the current health of one of a plurality of users;
- comparing said physical parameters and said environmental parameters of each of said plurality of health profiles to determine health affecting factors for said plurality of users, such that health affecting factors of public health are audited;
- comparing said plurality of health profiles with a model health profile;
- determining a percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are acceptable in view of said model health profile;
- and
- recommending adjustments to those users associated with said percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are not acceptable in view of said model health profile.
A system for auditing public health, said system comprising:
- means for compiling a plurality of health profiles from a plurality of personal health monitoring systems each respectively monitoring a current health profile including physical parameters and environmental parameters indicative of the current health of one of a plurality of users;
- means for comparing said physical parameters and said environmental parameters of each of said plurality of health profiles to determine health affecting factors for said plurality of users, such that health affecting factors of public health are audited;
- means for comparing said plurality of health profiles with a model health profile;
- means for determining a percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are acceptable in view of said model health profile;
- and
- means for recommending adjustments to those users associated with said percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are not acceptable in view of said model health profile.
A program for auditing public health, residing on a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means, said program comprising:
- means for compiling a plurality of health profiles from a plurality of personal health monitoring systems each respectively monitoring a current health profile including physical parameters and environmental parameters indicative of the current health of one of a plurality of users;
- means for comparing said physical parameters and said environmental parameters of each of said plurality of health profiles to determine health affecting factors for said plurality of users, such that health affecting factors of public health are audited;
- means for comparing said plurality of health profiles with a model health profile;
- means for determining a percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are acceptable in view of said model health profile;
- and
- means for recommending adjustments to those users associated with said percentage of said plurality of health profiles that are not acceptable in view of said model health profile.
