Abstract: A vehicle includes a radio receiver configured to receive emergency alert messages initiated by an alerting authority and broadcast by an alerting disseminator. The radio receiver is normally inactive when the vehicle is in the dormant state. A user monitor is configured to track a user during a time that the vehicle is in the dormant state to detect whether the user remains in the vehicle or is within a predetermined distance of the vehicle. A controller coupled to the radio receiver and to the user monitor is configured to activate the radio receiver during the dormant state when the user is present. The controller detects the existence of a relevant emergency alert message and initiates an annunciation signal which is generated by the vehicle and perceptible to the user to inform the user that the relevant emergency alert message is available.

Abstract: Systems and methods for searching for a healthcare provider based on an automatically-identified search context are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises processing raw medical claims to identify an area of focus for a provider, associating the provider with the area of focus, receiving, from a user via a user device, a search query indicating a desired area of focus, and outputting, to the user device for display to the user, provider information of the provider if the desired area of focus comprises the area of focus. In this way, an area of focus of a provider may be automatically determined from raw claims data, and such an automatically-determined area of focus may be used to refine search results for users.

Abstract: An illustrative example system includes a user interface configured to provide information to an individual in a vehicle. A controller is configured to estimate a remaining power capacity of a source of electric power that will remain after travelling along an identified route to an identified destination.

The user interface provides an indication of at least one recommendation regarding increasing the power capacity of the source prior to reaching the identified destination when the estimated remaining power capacity will not be sufficient for travelling from the identified destination to the at least one known location.
