Abstract

The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device of a second user, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a request from an electronic device of a first user to access wellness data associated with the second user;
in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
displaying, on a display of the electronic device of the second user, a prompt including a request for the second user to authorize the first user to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
subsequent to prompting the second user, receiving an input indicative of whether the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, forgoing transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first user is a health care provider and the second user is a patient; and
wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
receiving, from the first user, a request to access the wellness data associated with the second user, prior to an appointment between the first user and the second user.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to determining whether the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
receiving, from the electronic device of the first user, a request to authorize the first user to access the wellness data associated with the second user.

4. A method comprising:
at an electronic device of a second user:
receiving a request from an electronic device of a first user to access wellness data associated with the second user;
in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
displaying, on a display of the electronic device of the second user, a prompt including a request for the second user to authorize the first user to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
subsequent to prompting the second user, receiving an input indicative of whether the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, forgoing transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first user is a health care provider and the second user is a patient; and
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving, from the first user, a request to access the wellness data associated with the second user, prior to an appointment between the first user and the second user.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
prior to determining whether the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
receiving, from the electronic device of the first user, a request to authorize the first user to access the wellness data associated with the second user.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device of a second user, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a request from an electronic device of a first user to access wellness data associated with the second user;
in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
displaying, on a display of the electronic device of the second user, a prompt including a request for the second user to authorize the first user to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
subsequent to prompting the second user, receiving an input indicative of whether the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user;
in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
encrypting the wellness data associated with the second user; and
transmitting the encrypted wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user directly to the electronic device of the first user; and

in accordance with a determination that the input indicates the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, forgoing transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user from the electronic device of the second user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the first user is a health care provider and the second user is a patient; and
wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
receiving, from the first user, a request to access the wellness data associated with the second user, prior to an appointment between the first user and the second user.
