Managing health metric irregularities when providing health services

Abstract

Providing to a person a health service for a health condition includes receiving, from a health sensor of a mobile health device over an initial period, a plurality of initial values of health metrics of the person associated with performance of the health service, determining, based on the initial values, baseline values of the health metrics for the person, receiving, from the health sensor at a time after the initial period, an additional value corresponding to at least one of the health metrics, and determining whether the additional value represents an irregularity with respect to the baseline values for the person. Providing to a person a health service for a health condition may also include, if it is determined that the additional value represents an irregularity with respect to the baseline values, communicating the irregularity to a provider of the health service.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 62 / 858,759 filed on Jun. 7, 2019, titled “A NETWORK CONNECTED MEDICAL MONITORING DEVICE WITH TEXT, AUDIO AND VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS,” and U.S. provisional patent application No. 62 / 865,411 filed on Jun. 24, 2019, titled “A SYSTEM FOR SELECTING AND DELIVERING HEALTH INTERVENTIONS,” both of which are incorporated by reference herein.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This application is directed to the field of health services, and more particularly to remotely providing health services to a recipient using a mobile device, including autonomously selecting and communicating health information to a recipient as part of providing health services to the recipient, including, for example, specifying actions to perform.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that six out of ten adults in the US have a chronic disease, while four out of te...

Benefits of technology

[0023]According further to the system described herein, a mobile health device for providing a health service for a person includes a health sensor that monitors values of health metrics of the person, where performance of the health sensor is affected by temperature, an internal temperature sensor that monitor a temperature of an internal region of the mobile health device, and a thermal control component that controls a thermal output of one or more components of the mobile health device based at least in part on the temperature of the one or more internal regions of the health sensor. The mobile health device may also include a plurality of processing cores that execute instructions where the thermal control component reduces a collective thermal output of the plurality of processing cores by reducing a number of the plurality of the processing cores that actively execute instructions. The mobile healt

Problems solved by technology

There are instances where the home measurements may indicate a benefit of a moderate correction/adjustment (e.g., a blood glucose measurement indicating that a patient should eat a piece of fruit), but most patients, unless they have had significant training, are probably unable to accurately de
