Abstract: Systems and methods for generating real-time location-based notifications are described. In some aspects, the system processes, using a first machine learning model, a real-time video stream to determine a measure of significance of an event depicted in the real-time video stream. The system determines whether the user was present at the event. Based on determining that the user was present at the event, the system processes a user profile for the user and the measure of significance of the event to determine whether to generate for the user a cryptographic token associated with the event. Based on determining to generate for the user the cryptographic token associated with the event, the system generates a notification to the user including information for accessing the cryptographic token for the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for early detection of COVID-19. Existing methods require data from multiple sensors for training a prediction model whose output is considered as final prediction which is actually the prediction for a particular day or time instance. However, this prediction doesn't detect actual infection of COVID-19 since it requires monitoring the change in health of the user over consecutive days. Embodiments of present disclosure overcome these challenges by a prediction model for COVID-19 which requires only data from Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor seamlessly collected from a wearable device still able to provide accurate COVID-19 prediction with application of a post processing technique on the predictions of the prediction model. Since COVID-19 symptoms have an effect on heartrate and oxygen saturation which are effectively captured by PPG sensor data, studying these dynamics during infection period gives insights to perform early detection of COVID-19.
