Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wellness data management systems are limited in their ability to aggregate, store, and share data from various health monitoring devices, making it difficult for users to view and manage their health information comprehensively and securely.
Innovation Solution
A system that aggregates wellness data by displaying it in a user-friendly format with partitions for different data types, allows for selection and expansion of data views, and enables secure sharing with authorized users, while also managing approved sources and destinations of wellness data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate applications are used to track wellness data from different devices, then each application can provide detailed information about specific health metrics, but users cannot comprehensively store, view, and share wellness data collected by different devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate wellness tracking applications into a single unified application that can aggregate and display wellness data from various sources including fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other health monitoring devices. This consolidation allows users to view comprehensive health information in one place while maintaining the ability to access detailed metrics from different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The application is designed with universal functionality to interface with multiple types of wellness devices through standardized APIs and protocols. It can simultaneously track various health metrics such as heart rate, steps, sleep patterns, and dietary information from different device types, making it a multi-functional platform that replaces multiple specialized applications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wellness data is aggregated and shared with authorized users, then users can manage and access their health information comprehensively, but security and authorization management become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback-based authorization mechanism where data owners can grant or revoke access permissions for their wellness data to specific users or applications. The authorization system provides feedback to data owners about who has accessed their information and maintains continuous control over data sharing, allowing dynamic adjustment of access rights without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authorization management layer that sits between data owners and data consumers. This intermediary system handles the complexity of permission management, authentication, and access control automatically, allowing users to share data easily while the system manages the underlying security protocols and authorization workflows.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.
