Abstract

Methods, systems, and non-transitory machine-readable media associated with an emergency assistance response are described. A system for an emergency assistance response can include a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a processing resource in communication with a memory resource having instructions executable to receive signaling associated with monitored health data. The instructions can be executable to track the received signaling, identify, output data representative of abnormal health data based on the tracked received signaling, and transmit the output data to a wearable device. The wearable device can receive the output data representative of the abnormal health data, provide a prompt via a user interface to a wearer of the wearable device associated with the abnormal health data, determine a response to the abnormal health data based on a reply or non-reply from the wearer via the user interface, and transmit the response to the processing resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a first processor in communication with a memory resource having instructions executable to:
receive, at the first processor, first signaling from a second processor configured to monitor health data;
track, at the first processor, the received first signaling;
identify, at the first processor or a different, third processor, output data representative of abnormal health data based on the tracked received first signaling; and
transmit the output data to a fourth processor of a wearable device; and

a wearable device comprising the fourth processor to:
receive, at the fourth processor, the output data representative of the abnormal health data;
provide a prompt via a user interface to a wearer of the wearable device associated with the abnormal health data;
determine a response to the abnormal health data based on a reply or non-reply from the wearer via the user interface;
transmit the response to the first processor;
determine the response is a request for help in response to the reply including confirmation, within a threshold period of time, of the request for help;
determine the response is not a request for help in response to the reply including confirmation, within the threshold period of time, that no action is requested;
determine the response is unknown in response to the non-reply;
provide a follow-up prompt within a predetermined time period and via the user interface in response to the non-reply; and
determine the response is a request for help in response to another non-reply from the wearer via the user interface after the follow-up prompt.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second processor configured to monitor health data comprises a sensor communicatively coupled to the wearable device and the non-transitory machine-readable medium to:
monitor the health data of a wearer of the wearable device; and
transmit the first signaling to the first processor and the fourth processor.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the first processor to transmit the response received from the wearable device to a fifth processor associated with a user device of an emergency contact of the wearer.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the first processor to transmit the response received from the wearable device to a sixth processor associated with a monitoring center.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:
the wearable device to:
determine the response is a request for help in response to the reply including confirmation, within a threshold period of time, of the request for help; and
transmit the response to the first processor, the sixth processor, or both; and
in response, the sixth processor to dispatch emergency services to a tracked location of the wearable device.

6. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a first processor, first signaling from a second processor configured to monitor health data;
transmitting, from the first processor, second signaling to a third processor of a wearable device, a prompt displayed via a user interface;
in response to receiving a help request response from the third processor within a first threshold time period, transmitting a request for emergency assistance to a fourth processor, an emergency contact, or both;
in response to receiving a no help request response from the third processor within the first threshold time period, writing event data associated with the first signaling to a memory resource in communication with the first processor;
in response to receiving no response from the third processing processor within the first threshold time period, transmitting, from the first processor, a second prompt displayed via the user interface; and
in response to receiving no response from the third processor within a second threshold time period in response to the second prompt, transmitting the request for emergency assistance to the fourth processor, an emergency contact, or both.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein transmitting the request for emergency assistance to the fourth processor comprises transmitting the request to a monitoring center for additional assessment.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising tracking at the first processor and storing at the memory resource the first signaling and the help request, no help request, or non-response.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the first signaling at the first processor comprises receiving first signaling representative of abnormal health data.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving, at the first processor, third signaling from a fifth processor configured to monitor different health data; and
transmitting, from the first processor, fourth signaling to the third processor of the wearable device, a different prompt associated with the different health data and displayed via the user interface.

11. The method of claim 6 , wherein:
receiving the first signaling at the first processor comprises receiving first signaling representative of abnormal health data; and
transmitting the second signaling to the third processor of the wearable device comprises triggering an audible alarm, visual alarm, physical alarm, or any combination thereof via the wearable device.

12. A system, comprising:
a wearable device comprising a first processor to:
receive a request for emergency assistance;
write the request to a first memory resource in communication with the first processor;
provide a prompt via a user interface to a wearer of the wearable device;
determine a response to the emergency assistance based on a reply or non-reply from the wearer via the user interface;
confirm the response is a request for help in response to the reply including confirmation, within a threshold period of time, of the request for emergency assistance;
determine the response is not a request for help in response to the reply including confirmation, within the threshold period of time, that no emergency assistance is requested;
determine the response is unknown in response to the non-reply;
provide a follow-up prompt within a predetermined time period and via the user interface in response to the non-reply; and
confirm the response is a request for help in response to another non-reply from the wearer via the user interface after the follow-up prompt; and
transmit the request to a second processor via first signaling from the second processor;

a first non-transitory machine-readable medium in communication with the first processor and comprising the second processor in communication with a second memory resource having instructions executable to:
receive the request; and
route the request to an emergency contact, an emergency service, or both; and

a second non-transitory machine-readable medium in communication with the first processor and the second processor and comprising a third processor in communication with a third memory resource having instructions executable to track the request and an associated response.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the request for emergency assistance comprises the first processor receiving indication of triggering of a particular input on the wearable device.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the request for emergency assistance comprises detection of, by the first processor or a sensor in communication with the first processor, a health event.

15. The system of claim 12 , further comprising the first processor to transmit the request to the third processor.
