Abstract

Provided herein is an engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer system including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device for facilitating senior user engagement. The processor is programmed to: (i) register a user through an application, (ii) register a caregiver associated with the user through the application, (iii) generate a senior profile based upon user personal and scheduling data, (iv) build a daily interactive user interface that reflects the senior profile, (v) display the daily interactive user interface at a first client device associated with the user, (vi) cause the first client device to initiate a daily interaction prompt to the user, (vii) determine whether any user interaction was received in response to the daily interaction prompt, and (viii) transmit a daily update message to a second client device associated with the caregiver, including an indication of whether any user interaction was received.

First claim

We claim:

1. A user computer device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device and a first microphone, the user computer device in communication with at least one second computer device, the at least one processor of the user computer device programmed to:
access stored user registration information for a user associated with the user computer device;
access stored caregiver registration information for a caregiver associated with the user, wherein the caregiver registration information includes data for identifying the at least one second computer device;
determine an expected time of interaction for the user for a predefined period of time, wherein the expected time of interaction for the user is a time associated with a first unprompted and unscheduled verbal interaction of the user detected by the first microphone during the predefined period of time;
monitor an input of the first microphone for a user interaction that is unprompted and unscheduled by the user computer device; and
in response to detecting an input to the first microphone indicative of a verbal user interaction that is unprompted and unscheduled by the user computer device prior to the expected time of interaction, the at least one processor of the user computer device programmed to:
transmit a message to the at least one second computer device of the caregiver indicating that the user has interacted with the user computer device during the predefined period of time.

2. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined period of time starts after midnight and is until a predetermined time during the day.

3. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined period of time starts after midnight and is until a predetermined time in the morning of that day.

4. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined period of time is a 24 hour period.

5. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
prompt the user during the predefined period of time to interact with a user interface of the user computer device, the user interface of the user computer device including a first speaker, the first microphone and a display device, wherein the interaction includes at least one of the user (i) verbally responding via the first microphone to an audio prompt provided via the first speaker, and (ii) clicking on a virtual button displayed on the display device of the user computer device; and
in response to the interaction with the user computer device by the user, transmit a message to the at least one second computer device of the caregiver.

6. The user computer device of claim 5 , wherein the caregiver includes one or more of a family member of the user, a friend of the user, a paid caregiver of the user, a person designated by the user, and a healthcare professional.

7. The user computer device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one second computer device includes a plurality of second computer devices, wherein each second computer device of the plurality of second computer devices is associated with a caregiver of the user.

8. The user computer device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to transmit the message to the plurality of second computer devices.

9. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to communicate with at least one server computer device to transmit messages to the at least one second computer device including the message to the at least one second computer device of the caregiver indicating that the user has interacted with the user computer device during the predefined period of time.

10. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to interact with the user in response to an audio prompt from the user.

11. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
receive a subsequent input from the user; and
transmit a notification message based on the subsequent input to the at least one second computer device, the notification message advising the caregiver of the at least one second computer device of the user's subsequent interaction with the user computer device.

12. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
store a plurality of events for the user; and
remind the user of an event of the plurality of events via at least one of a voice-based reminder or a text-based reminder.

13. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to audibly notify the user of the event.

14. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to transmit a message to the at least one second computer device that the user was reminded of the event.

15. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to receive an acknowledgement of the reminder from the user.

16. The user computer device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to transmit a message to the at least one second computer device that the user did not acknowledge the reminder.

17. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
receive a signal from an Internet of Things device associated with the event; and
mark the event as complete based on the signal from the Internet of Things device.

18. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
determine an event was missed by the user; and
transmit a notification to the at least one second computer device of the missed event.

19. The user computer device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to notify the at least one second computer device of completed events of the plurality of events.

20. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the user computer device comprises a plurality of computer devices associated with the user.

21. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
determine that the user has not interacted with the user computer device for a predetermined period of time during the predefined period of time; and
transmit a message to the at least one second computer device that the user has not interacted with the user computer device for the predetermined period of time.

22. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
determine how often the user interacts with the user computer device; and
transmit one or more notifications of the user interactions with the user computer device to the at least one second computer device.

23. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:
monitor a plurality of interactions between the user and the user computer device;
analyze the plurality of interactions between the user and the user computer device; and
determine the expected time of interaction for the user for the predefined period of time based at least in part on the analysis of the interactions between the user and the user computer device.

24. The user computer device of claim 1 , wherein the user computer device also include
