HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM FOR WELLNESS, SAFETY, AND REMOTE CARE USING DIGITAL SENSING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

The invention is a system for remote health monitoring, and a framework for deriving behavioral data from wearable sensors for the screening and tracking of disease. The mobile/wearable computing device captures a host of metrics related to an individual's health, behavior, and wellness. Data from these sensors is aggregated, analyzed, and reported to one or more caregivers via a caregiver dashboard made available as a smartphone, web, or smartwatch application. This data consists of time-sensitive notifications such as falls, wandering, and extreme weather alerts, as well as a holistic profile of the individual's wellness including stress, sleep quality, fitness, and longitudinal lifestyle changes. As the mobile system is used in the field, a large-scale database of behavioral data is generated from the userbase, providing a flexible platform for the longitudinal tracking and screening of a variety of mental, neurological, and physiological disorders.
