Method of and device for implementing contagious illness analysis and tracking

Abstract

A device is able to be used to detect an illness and/or symptoms of the illness in a user by utilizing a body fluid detector and/or other devices. The device is also able to determine when additional devices of users come within a specified distance of the device. An alert regarding a diagnosis and/or analysis of the symptoms of the illness is able to sent to a central server, a cloud device or another device to share the diagnosis and/or the analysis of the symptoms of the illness with the additional devices of users.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 using a wearable device to detect an illness and/or symptoms of the illness in a user, wherein the wearable device comprises at least one a body fluid detector;   determining, with the wearable device, additional devices of users who come within a specified distance of the wearable device; and   sending an alert regarding a diagnosis and/or analysis of the symptoms of the illness to a central server and/or a cloud device, wherein the central server and/or the cloud device share the diagnosis and/or the analysis of the symptoms of the illness with the additional devices of users.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the body fluid detector comprises at least one of a sweat detector, a blood detector and a saliva detector. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the wearable device is configured to acquire body fluids and detect viruses, bacteria, antibodies, analytes, and/or biomarkers in the body fluids. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the using the wearable device to detect the illness or symptoms of the illness in the user includes measuring a temperature of the user, measuring an oxygen level of the user, detecting coughing in the user, or measuring sweat of the user, and analyzing the temperature, the oxygen level, the coughing and/or the sweat. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising determining a duration of time the wearable device and at least one device of the additional devices of users are within the specified distance. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the wearable device is configured to determine when at least one device of the additional devices comes within at least one distance of a plurality of specified distances, wherein a first alert is triggered when the at least one device of the additional devices comes within a first distance of the wearable device, and a second alert is triggered when the at least one device of the additional devices comes within a second distance of the wearable device, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein when at least one device of the additional devices indicates that a user of the at least one device is contagious, one or more thresholds related to the illness and/or the symptoms of the illness in the user are modified. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein when at least one device of the additional devices indicates that a user of the at least one device of the additional device is contagious, one or more thresholds related to the illness and/or the symptoms of the illness in the user are lowered to provide the alert sooner. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising sending a second alert to social networking contacts of the user of the wearable device when the illness and/or symptoms of the illness are detected. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising generating a map based on the wearable device detecting the illness and/or symptoms of the illness in the user and the additional devices coming within the specified distance of the wearable device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the map is color-coded, wherein a first set of users with the illness detected are represented in a first color, and a second set of users who have come within a specified distance of at least one user of the first set of users are represented in a second color. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising suggesting a movement of the user based on a status of the users of the additional devices. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising analyzing a search history of the user to determine the illness and/or the symptoms of the illness in the user. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising determining a number of people with a contagious illness at a specified location. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising performing a search, wherein the search excludes a location when the number of people with the contagious illness at the specified location is above a threshold. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the alert comprises anonymous information to maintain privacy of the user. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1  wherein when the user is determined to have a pre-existing condition, one or more thresholds related to the illness and/or the symptoms of the illness in the user of the wearable device are modified. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1  wherein sending the alert comprises a confidence level of the diagnosis. 
     
     
         19 . A method comprising:
 receiving, at a server device, illness information from a user device regarding an illness and/or symptoms of the illness in a user;   receiving, at the server device, contact information from the user device regarding additional devices of users who come within a specified distance of the user device;   sending, with the server device, an alert regarding a diagnosis and/or analysis of the symptoms of the illness to the user device; and   sharing, with the server device, a second alert regarding the diagnosis and/or the analysis of the symptoms of the illness to the additional devices of users.   
     
     
         20 . A device comprising:
 at least one of a body fluid detector;   a non-transitory memory configured for storing an application, the application configured for:
 detecting an illness and/or symptoms of the illness in a user using information received from the body fluid detector; 
 determining additional devices of users who come within a specified distance of the device; and 
 sending an alert regarding a diagnosis and/or analysis of the symptoms of the illness to a central server and/or a cloud device, wherein the central server and/or the cloud device share the diagnosis and/or the analysis of the symptoms of the illness with the additional devices of user; and 
   a processor configured for processing the application.
