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:
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: determining whether a first user is authorized to access wellness data associated with a second user; in accordance with a determination the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user to the electronic device of the first user; and in accordance with the determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
prompting 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, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user 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 to the electronic device of the first 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:
determining whether a first user is authorized to access wellness data associated with a second user; in accordance with a determination the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user to the electronic device of the first user; and in accordance with the determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
prompting 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, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user 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 to the electronic device of the first 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, the one or more programs including instructions for:
determining whether a first user is authorized to access wellness data associated with a second user; in accordance with a determination the first user is authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user to the electronic device of the first user; and in accordance with the determination that the first user is not authorized to access the wellness data associated with the second user:
prompting 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, transmitting the wellness data associated with the second user 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 to the electronic device of the first 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.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , 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.
