  • Publication number: 20230199081
    Abstract: By monitoring an in-person interaction using a first Internet of Things (IoT) device, an entity relationship between parties in the in-person interaction is identified. Using data resulting from the monitoring, a habit workflow corresponding to the entity relationship is generated, wherein the habit workflow comprises a sequence of habits and a habit in the sequence of habits comprises performance of a behavior. A second IoT device able to monitor execution of the habit workflow is identified. Using the second IoT device, execution of the habit workflow is monitored. A motivational method corresponding to the execution is identified from the monitored execution.

  • Publication number: 20230179983
    Abstract: In an approach for monitoring a user's in-flight activity and/or a pattern of movement of a user and warning the user of an in-flight activity or a pattern of movement that could lead to a potential short-term or long-term injury, a processor monitors a body movement and a posture of a user through an application of micro-location analysis enabled by a mesh network of 5G sensors over a period of time. A processor determines whether the body movement and the posture detected can lead to an activity or a series of activities that can result in a potential injury. Responsive to determining a pre-set threshold of risk has been reached, a processor issues a real time alert to the user to warn of the potential injury.
