Abstract: An avatar generator for a virtual environment reflects a physiological characteristic of the user, injecting a degree of reality into the capabilities or appearance. Thereby, many of the incentives of the real world are replicated in a virtual environment. Physiological data that reflect a degree of health of the real person can be linked to rewards of capabilities of a gaming avatar, an amount of time budgeted to play, or a visible indication. Thereby, people are encouraged to exercise. Physiological data that reflect the health and perhaps also mood also improve social interaction in virtual environments. People seeking to meet and become acquainted with particular types of people are not thwarted by the artificiality of avatars. The physiological data can be gleaned from a third party health data collection repository, a healthcare smart card, a real-time physiological sensor (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, peak flow, pedometer, etc.).

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates dynamically providing a question to ask a medical professional during an appointment. An interface can receive a portion of medical data. A counselor component can generate a question based on the portion of medical data, wherein the question is generated to elicit an answer from a medical professional during an appointment. Moreover, the counselor component can dynamically generate a second question directed toward the medical professional based upon at least one of the answer or a value of information (VOI) computation.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates identifying a medical facility for an emergency medical situation. An interface can receive a portion of data related to an emergency medical incident and a corresponding location. A match component can evaluate the portion of data to select a medical facility in which to transport a patient involved in the emergency medical incident, wherein the medical facility can be ascertained based on a distance between the location of the emergency medical incident and a location for the selected medical facility and traffic related to a route there between.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates scheduling an incoming patient appointment for a medical facility. A medical facility can provide healthcare to a patient, wherein the medical facility can utilize a schedule with an available time slot to assign an appointment to a patient. A match component can evaluate a portion of transportation data to select a patient to which an appointment on the schedule is allotted. A dynamic schedule component can automatically adjust the schedule based upon the evaluation.
