  • Patent number: 10692396
    Abstract: A computing system for calculating a total calorie count is provided. The computing system comprising an electronic personal assistant application program executed on a client computing device, and including a purchase tracking module configured to receive notifications of purchases made for individual food items, a calorie tracking module configured to identify calorie counts associated with each purchased food item and to calculate a calorie count statistic based thereon, a calorie apportionment module configured to apportion the calorie counts of the food items to a user so that the calorie count statistic is based upon an apportioned total of the calorie counts of the food items that have been apportioned to the user; and a graphical user interface module configured to display a graphical user interface including an indicator of the calorie count statistic on a display associated with the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 10678890
    Abstract: A client computing device is disclosed that comprises a processor and an electronic personal assistant application program. The personal assistant application program may be configured to capture user data associated with user activities across a plurality of computer programs. The user data may be sent to a personal assistant user data interpretation engine. A health-related suggestion based on at least a subset of the user data and anonymized statistics of a user population retrieved from an aggregated knowledge base may be received. The health-related suggestion may be displayed on a display associated with the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 10664572
    Abstract: A computing system comprises an electronic personal assistant application program executed on a client computing device. Included are a health insurance retriever configured to retrieve health insurance information of a user, a history combiner configured to combined aggregated histories of a plurality of users into an anonymized combined time and location-based data, and a health recommender configured to identify at least one health condition of the user, determine a health recommendation at least on the identified health condition, and output the health recommendation including the recommended health care service, providers, and an indication of insurance coverage of the recommended service at each of the providers.

  • Patent number: 10303843
    Abstract: A computing system is provided. The computing system includes an electronic personal assistant application server configured to determine a target location for a selected user and time, determine a group of other registered users who are or will be physically present at the target location at or around the predetermined time, determine group health data representing a health condition of the group of other registered users, the group health data being determined based on anonymous medical records statistics for the group of other registered users, the anonymous medical records statistics including biometric data sensed by at least one biometric sensor associated with at least one user computing device of one of the other registered users, identify a health risk level for the target location using the group health data, and generate an activity warning for the target location based on the health risk level.

  • Publication number: 20170039336
    Abstract: A computing system comprises a client computing device configured to execute a personal assistant application program. The personal assistant application program is configured to receive user data from interaction of a user with the client computing device, user interaction with additional devices, or system networked to the client computing device, to sense a user condition based on the user data received, to analyze the user condition to identify a user health issue, present, via a user interface associated with the client computing device, a suggestion for the user to treat, overcome or improve the user health issue, assess a degree to which the user has followed the suggestion, and modify subsequent suggestions to the user based on the degree to which the suggestion was followed.
