Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are described relating to accepting an indication of at least one attribute of an individual; activating at least one sensor at least partially based on the accepting an indication of at least one attribute of the individual; accepting sensor data from the at least one sensor; and presenting a set of health care options at least partially based on the accepting sensor data from the at least one sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A mobile computing device, comprising: circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device; circuitry configured for activating at least one image sensor of the mobile computing device at least partially based on the accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual; circuitry configured for accepting at least some sensor data from the at least one image sensor of the mobile computing device, the at least some sensor data including at least one or more images of at least a portion of a face of the user; circuitry configured for matching, at least partially via at least one search conducted at least partially using at least one wireless transmission by the mobile computing device via at least one communications network, the at least some sensor data from the at least one image sensor with one or more health-related services options to obtain a set of health care options for presentation to the at least one individual, including at least transmitting an indication of one or more conditions of the at least one individual ascertained by the mobile computing device at least partially based on the one or more images of the at least a portion of the face of the user as a search term to obtain the set of health care options for presentation to the at least one individual; and circuitry configured for presenting the set of health care options to the at least one individual via the mobile computing device at least partially based on the matching the at least some sensor data from the at least one image sensor. 2. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one physical attribute associated with the at least one individual. 3. The mobile computing device of claim 2 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one physical attribute associated with the at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one physical symptom associated with the at least one individual. 4. The mobile computing device of claim 3 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one physical symptom associated with the at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting one or more of at least one indication or at least one measurement of one or more of pain, hypertension, sweating, dizziness, lightheadedness, abnormal respiration, headache, fatigue, nausea, fever, abnormal heart rhythm, motor weakness, or abnormal heart rate. 5. The mobile computing device of claim 2 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one physical attribute associated with the at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one physical diagnosis associated with the at least one individual. 6. The mobile computing device of claim 5 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one physical diagnosis associated with at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one diagnosis of one or more of at least one cardiovascular disorder, at least one digestive disorder, at least one endocrine disorder, at least one hearing disorder, at least one immune disorder, at least one inner ear disorder, at least one integumentary disorder, at least one lymphatic disorder, at least one muscular disorder, at least one nervous system disorder, at least one reproductive disorder, at least one respiratory disorder, at least one skeletal disorder, at least one visual disorder, or at least one urinary disorder. 7. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting one or more of at least one current treatment or at least one proposed treatment associated with the at least one individual. 8. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting the at least one indication of the at least one attribute from at least one medical history associated with the at least one individual, a location of the at least one medical history associated with the at least one individual provided via the at least one user interface of the mobile computing device. 9. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting the at least one indication of the at least one attribute from at least one personal medical history associated with the at least one individual, a location of the at least one personal medical history associated with the at least one individual provided via the at least one user interface of the mobile computing device. 10. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting the at least one indication of the at least one attribute from at least one family medical history associated with the at least one individual, a location of the at least one family medical history associated with the at least one individual provided via the at least one user interface of the mobile computing device; and circuitry configured for signaling to evaluate the at least one individual for at least one condition indicated by the at least one attribute from the at least one family medical history via activating the at least one sensor. 11. The mobile computing device of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one attribute of at least one individual via at least one user interface of the mobile computing device comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one mental attribute associated with the at least one individual. 12. The mobile computing device of claim 11 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one mental attribute associated with the at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one mental symptom associated with the at least one individual. 13. The mobile computing device of claim 12 , wherein circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one mental symptom associated with the at least one individual comprises: circuitry configured for accepting at least one indication of at least one of at least one anxiety attribute, at least one appearance, at least one behavior, at least one depression attribute, at least one fear, at least one inattention attribute, at least one mood disturbance, at least one phobia, or at least one psychological test result. 14. The mobile computing device of claim 11 , wherein circuitry configured for acce
