Health Status Engine for Real-Time User Condition Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing health monitoring devices (SMDs) lack the ability to analyze real-time data to provide an assessment of a user's physical condition, failing to differentiate between normal and abnormal health states, such as increased heart rate due to activity versus a health issue like a heart attack.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a real-time user data component, a routines component, and a health status engine that collects and analyzes health parameter data to determine an applicable routine for the user, generating alerts when data deviates from expected patterns, allowing for differentiation between normal and abnormal health conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If real-time health parameter data is collected and analyzed, then the ability to assess physical condition and differentiate health states is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives health parameter data from portable devices, determines user routines, and sends alert notifications. This intermediary architecture allows the complex analysis functions to be distributed to a centralized server rather than embedded in each portable device, thereby improving measurement precision while managing system complexity through externalization of processing logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: portable devices for data collection, servers for routine determination and analysis, and notification systems for alert delivery. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall assessment accuracy while enabling independent development and maintenance of each module, thus managing system complexity.
2Loss of information
If historical data storage is used, then data accessibility is improved, but real-time health assessment capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing health parameter data in real-time as it is generated, rather than relying solely on historical data retrieval. The server continuously receives updated data from portable devices and maintains current user state information, enabling immediate assessment when needed while preserving data accessibility for future reference.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors incoming health parameter data, compares it against determined routines, and generates real-time alerts when deviations are detected. This closed-loop feedback ensures both data accessibility for analysis and reliable real-time assessment capability by immediately processing and responding to current health data.

AI summary
A system is provided to evaluate physical condition of a user based on the health data collected from one or more SMDs. The system may comprise a user data component, a routines component and a health status engine. The user data component may be configured to receive health data for the user. A routines component may be configured to identify a current routine associated with the health data. The health status engine may be configured to determine health status information based on the received health data and the identified current routine.
