Healthcare system based on devices and wearables

Abstract

A computerized method is presented for improving medical records of an individual based on received information from a device or wearable, the method comprising: retrieving from a record-keeping database medical-related information associated with the individual; retrieving from a device associated with the individual a measurable factor; determining, based at least partly on the medical-related information, that the measurable factor poses a medical risk to the individual; and communicating instructions to the record-keeping database to store, in association with the individual, information related to the medical risk. Other methods may associate a location with a medical risk. Other methods may aggregate medical information received from devices or wearables and associate it with a location. Mapping this information with regard to locations may allow early prediction of an epidemic.

 retrieving a measurable factor associated with medical information from a wearable device associated with an individual;   determining, utilizing a computer processor, a location of the individual from location information received, and associating the measurable factor with the location of the individual;   converting, utilizing a computer processor, the measurable factor and location of the individual into a standardized format as updated information about the individual;   determining based at least in part the measurable factor and location of the individual, that a medical risk is posed to the individual based on a predisposition unique to the individual; and   communicating instructions to a record-keeping database to store, in association with the individual, the measurable factor and location of the individual in the standardized format related to the medical risk.   
     
     
         2 . The media of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of communicating to a medical provider that the individual was exposed to the medical risk. 
     
     
         3 . The media of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 recommending an order to the medical provider for the individual, wherein the order is selected from a list of orders, the list of orders being associated with the medical risk.   
     
     
         4 . The media of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 retrieving from the record-keeping database the predisposition unique to the individual.   
     
     
         5 . One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for communicating an alert to a recipient of a medical risk, the method comprising:
 retrieving a measurable factor associated with medical information from a wearable device associated with an individual;   determining, utilizing a computer processor, a location of the individual from location information received and associating the measurable factor with the location of the individual;   determining based at least in part the measurable factor and location of the individual, that a medical risk is posed to the individual based on a predisposition unique to the individual;   converting, utilizing a computer processor, the medical risk of the individual to a standardized format as updated information about the individual; and   generating and communicating an alert to a recipient regarding based the medical risk.   
     
     
         6 . The media of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 retrieving from a record-keeping database the predisposition unique to the individual to certain ailments linked with measurable factor associated with the individual.   
     
     
         7 . The media of  claim 6 , wherein the alert comprises a suggestion, the suggestion comprising instructions for the individual to begin or alter a preventative medication. 
     
     
         8 . The media of  claim 5 , further comprising the steps of determining a first location of the individual from the wearable device associated with the individual and configured to monitor the location of the individual, and associating the first location with the medical risk, and communicating instructions to the individual to move from the first location to a second location, wherein the second location reduces or eliminates exposure of the individual to the medical risk. 
     
     
         9 . The media of  claim 5 , wherein the recipient comprises one or more of the individual or recipients that have been predetermined by the individual to receive the alert. 
     
     
         10 . The media of  claim 5 , wherein the recipient is a medical provider. 
     
     
         11 . The media of  claim 10 , further comprising the step of recommending an order to the medical provider for the individual. 
     
     
         12 . The media of  claim 11 , wherein the order is selected from a list of orders, the list of orders being associated with medical risk. 
     
     
         13 . The media of  claim 5 , wherein the medical information is an external environmental factor. 
     
     
         14 . The media of  claim 5 , wherein the medical information is clinically significant information regarding factors contributing to the predisposition unique to the individual. 
     
     
         15 . A computerized system comprising:
 a wearable device associated with the individual;   one or more processors; and   computer storage memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, implement a method for tracking location exposure of the individual to a measurable factor causing a medical risk to the individual based on a predisposition unique to the individual, the method comprising:   receiving from the wearable device a measurable factor associated with medical-related information from the wearable device;   determining, utilizing a computer processor, the location of the individual from location information, and associating the measurable factor measured by the wearable device with the location of the individual;   determining, based at least partly on the medical-related information and the measurable factor, that the location poses a medical risk to the individual based on the predisposition unique to the individual linked with the measurable factor;   converting, utilizing a computer processor, the measurable factor measured by the wearable to a standardized format as updated information about the individual; and   communicating to the record-keeping database instructions to store, in association with the individual, the measurable factor measured by the wearable in the standardized format related to the medical risk and the location.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 retrieving, from the record-keeping database, medical-related information comprising the predisposition unique to the individual to certain ailments linked with the measurable factor associated with the individual.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising the step of identifying a potential outbreak, the step of identifying a potential outbreak comprising:
 mapping a plurality of measurable factors measured from a plurality of wearable devices with a possible outbreak location;   determining that the plurality of measurable factors for the possible outbreak location is clinically significant and related; and   identifying the potential outbreak for the possible outbreak location from the mapping of clinically significant information.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , further comprising the step of communicating an alert to other individuals within or proximate to the possible outbreak location, the alert based on the potential outbreak. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising the step of communicating to a medical provider that the individual was exposed to the medical risk.
