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 comprising:
a display;
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, from a first user associated with a set of wellness data, an identification of a second user authorized to access the set of wellness data and a category indicating a relationship between the first user and the second user, wherein the identification of the second user includes a level of access to a particular subset of the set of wellness data, wherein the category includes the second user, and wherein the category is associated with a particular set of wellness data types that users belonging to the category are allowed to view;
in response to detecting an update to the set of wellness data:
transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected;
encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and
transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the identification of the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data comprises a name, a username, or contact information.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data is transmitted in response to receiving a request from the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected; encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data are performed without detecting an input to transmit the set of wellness data.

5. 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 with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving, from a first user associated with a set of wellness data, an identification of a second user authorized to access the set of wellness data and a category indicating a relationship between the first user and the second user, wherein the identification of the second user includes a level of access to a particular subset of the set of wellness data, wherein the category includes the second user, and wherein the category is associated with a particular set of wellness data types that users belonging to the category are allowed to view;
in response to detecting an update to the set of wellness data:
transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected;
encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and
transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the identification of the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data comprises a name, a username, or contact information.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data is transmitted in response to receiving a request from the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected; encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data are performed without detecting an input to transmit the set of wellness data.

9. A method comprising:
at an electronic device that includes a display:
receiving, from a first user associated with a set of wellness data, an identification of a second user authorized to access the set of wellness data and a category indicating a relationship between the first user and the second user, wherein the identification of the second user includes a level of access to a particular subset of the set of wellness data, wherein the category includes the second user, and wherein the category is associated with a particular set of wellness data types that users belonging to the category are allowed to view;
in response to detecting an update to the set of wellness data:
transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected;
encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and
transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the identification of the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data comprises a name, a username, or contact information.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data is transmitted in response to receiving a request from the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein transmitting a notification to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data notifying the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data that the update to the set of wellness data has been detected; encrypting at least a portion of the set of wellness data; and transmitting at least the encrypted portion of the set of wellness data to the second user authorized to access the set of wellness data are performed without detecting an input to transmit the set of wellness data.
