  • Patent number: 11189376
    Abstract: Medical services are offered by various facilities near a patient's residence. The number of facility options continues to grow and the patients can now receive various different health care services. One example method of operation provides receiving sensor data indicating that one or more sensors were triggered at a predefined location at a first time during a monitoring event, receiving additional sensor data indicating an additional sensor was triggered at a second time later than the first time, identifying a time gap between the first time and the second time, storing the time gap in a schedule stored in memory, and creating a sensor trigger pattern based on the time gap and applying the sensor trigger pattern to an alert status for a subsequent monitoring event.
