Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are provided for obtaining and providing product information to a user. The method comprises creating, with a processor of a purchase evaluation system, a user profile comprising a plurality of purchasing decision factors with each having a respective weight. The method further comprises receiving a product identifier that identifies a product being considered for purchase by a user, and then building or retrieving, in real-time, a product profile based on the product identifier that contains a plurality of product factors corresponding to the purchasing decision factors, each of which contain a value representing a score of the product's relationship to the respective product factor. The method then evaluates the product based on a function that incorporates the purchasing decision factors and the product factors, and creates display data for displaying the identified product and the product evaluation on a display.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for provisioning news items. A news provisioning application may apply user interest data to select a first news item from news data and determine that the first news item is negative for the first user based at least in part on the financial data. The news provisioning application may receive, from a first network-enabled device, physiological data describing a physiological condition of the first user at a first time and determine to provide the first news item to the first user based at least in part on the physiological data. The news provisioning application may send to a second network-enabled device, alert data instructing the second network-enabled device to modify the operation of the second network-enabled device to generate an alert indicating the first news item.
