Abstract: Deploying a mobile health device to provide a health service for a person for a health condition includes accessing a profile of the person, defining a value for a first parameter of the mobile health device based on the profile, configuring the mobile health device based on the value of the first parameter, and giving possession of the mobile health device to the person. Deploying a mobile health device to provide a health service for a person for a health condition may also include, after giving possession of the mobile health device, receiving a first communication from the mobile health device, in response to receiving the first communication, sending a second communication to a second device associated with the person, receiving a third communication, and authenticating that an operator in possession of the mobile health device is the person based on receipt of the third communication.

Abstract: Remotely providing a health service to a person includes predefining a plurality of analysis types, predefining a rule specifying a condition under which to apply the plurality of analysis types, performing the health service on the person, selecting the analysis type to perform based on the rule and information about the person, performing a type of analysis on the information to determine what interventions to be undertaken based on the information as part of performing the health service, and remotely communicating a determined intervention to the person. Each analysis type represents a type of analysis to be performed on information about the person to determine an intervention as part of providing a health service. The intervention may include altering a health treatment administered to the person as part of the health service. The analysis type may be autonomous based on machine learning and/or based on predefined rules.

Abstract: A mobile health device for providing a health service includes a health sensor that monitors values of a health metric of a person, a power control component that controls supplying power to the health sensor and to other components of the mobile health device, and a motion sensor, coupled to the power control component, that detects a motion of the mobile health device, where the motion sensor sends a communication to the power control component in response to detection of the motion to activate the other components of the mobile health device. The communication may specify a duration of the motion, and the power control component may activate at least one of the other components of the mobile health device based on the duration. The other components may include a network interface component that communicates with a remotely coupled device to provide the health service to the person.

Abstract: Providing to a person a health service for a health condition includes receiving, from a health sensor of a mobile health device over an initial period, a plurality of initial values of health metrics of the person associated with performance of the health service, determining, based on the initial values, baseline values of the health metrics for the person, receiving, from the health sensor at a time after the initial period, an additional value corresponding to at least one of the health metrics, and determining whether the additional value represents an irregularity with respect to the baseline values for the person. Providing to a person a health service for a health condition may also include, if it is determined that the additional value represents an irregularity with respect to the baseline values, communicating the irregularity to a provider of the health service.

Abstract: A mobile health device includes a sensor that monitors values of a health metric of a person, a control component that controls the device to perform actions as part of providing a health service, and components of the device that receive the control signal and perform an action to provide the health service based on the control signal. The components include user output components for producing sound and/or displaying information and where providing the health service includes playing information as sound, displaying information as text, displaying information as motion video, and/or displaying information still images. The control component includes an input that receives audio signals corresponding to the monitored values of the health metric and produces a control signal based on information about the person, including the monitored values of the health metric of the person. The mobile health device may also include a network interface component.

Abstract: A system including a mobile health device is locally coupled to a person and to a remote device remotely coupled to the mobile health device. A health service is remotely provided to the person for a health condition. The remote device determines a health condition for which the health service is being provided. The remote device sends a first communication to the mobile health device requesting that the mobile health device capture visual information associated with the health condition. The mobile health device captures the visual information associated with the health condition and the mobile health device transmits the visual information to the remote device. Remotely providing a health service to a person for a health condition may also include, after capturing the visual information, applying image recognition techniques to images of the captured visual information to determine whether the images satisfy the visual information requested.

Abstract: Remote health services may be provided, for example, in real time, based on values of health metrics monitored remotely, and in some embodiments, continuously, for a recipient. The system may include a mobile health device configured to continually monitor or intermittently detect values of one or more health metrics. A mobile health device may be locally coupled to a recipient, and may include a health sensor that detects values of one or more health metrics of the recipient. Servers may be remotely coupled to the mobile health device and provide one or more health services based at least in part on health metric values detected by the health device. Providing the services may include determining health communication characteristics, and sending health communications from one or more servers to the mobile health device according to determined health communication characteristics.

Abstract: A mobile health device includes a health sensor that monitors values of health metrics of a person where performance of the health sensor is affected by temperature. An internal temperature sensor monitors a temperature of an internal region of the mobile health device. A thermal control component controls a thermal output of components of the mobile health device based on the temperature of the internal region. The mobile health device may also include a plurality of processing cores that execute instructions where the thermal control component reduces a collective thermal output of the plurality of processing cores by reducing a number of the plurality of the processing cores that actively execute instructions. The thermal control component may reduce a thermal output of the processing core by reducing a frequency of instruction execution of the processing core. A thermal buffer may be used.
