Abstract: A system and method for predicting a health outcome of a user based on a determination of knowledge the user possesses regarding issues of physiological or mental health.

Abstract: Examples described herein include a computer system to obtain social network content from a user, and to analyze the social network content to determine one or more attributes. The computer system predicts a lifestyle category of the user based at least in part on the determined one or more attributes.

Abstract: A computer system automates the determination of a health profile of a user based on a knowledge of the user regarding health related questions and social network content from an account of the user.

Abstract: Examples are provided herein for providing a service in connection with determining a health of a user. A collection of questions are stored for the user, with each question being based on a documented assertion pertaining to human health. Each question in the collection of questions is associated with a correlative health parameter that is based at least in part on (i) persons in a control population that have independent knowledge of an assertion that is a basis of that question, and (ii) a value of a predetermined health parameter for each person in the control population, the value of the predetermined health parameter for each person being indicative of that person's health. Based on data generated by one or more activity monitoring devices, questions from the collection are selected for display to the user.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending clothing or apparel to a user. Activity of a user is detected in order to identify a set of items that are of interest to the user. One or more recommendation parameters may be determined for the used based at least in part on the individual items of clothing/apparel that are of interest to the user. Clothing/apparel content is selected for display to the user based on the recommendation parameters.

Abstract: A computer system prompts a user to answer a series of questions from a collection of questions. From the user's answers, the computer system predicts a mortality outcome based on the value of a predetermined mortality parameter for one or more of the questions in the series.

Abstract: A network computing system implements a health service comprising a health trivia game and connects, over one or more wireless networks, with the computing devices of users of the health service. The network computing system provides sequences of topical health questions and receives corresponding sequences of responses from the users. Based on a correctness of each response, the network computing system determines a predicted health outcome of a respective user of the health service, and generates a health report that is accessible via a user interface of the health trivia game.

Abstract: A system and method for predicting a health outcome of a user based on a determination of knowledge the user possesses regarding issues of physiological or mental health.

Abstract: A computing system can implement a health verification and prediction service by generating an interactive user interface through which users can provide responses to health assertions in one or more trivia sessions. Each of the health assertions can include a correlation value to actual health outcomes based on responses received from individuals a control group and the known health outcomes of those individuals. Based on the responses from the user, the computing system can generate a health profile for the user.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending clothing or apparel to a user. Activity of a user is detected in order to identify a set of items that are of interest to the user. One or more recommendation parameters may be determined for the used based at least in part on the individual items of clothing/apparel that are of interest to the user. Clothing/apparel content is selected for display to the user based on the recommendation parameters.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein facilitate or enhance the implementation of image recognition processes which can perform recognition on images to identify objects and/or faces by class or by people.

Abstract: An index is provided that holds information about each image content item in a collection of items, For each image content item, a first information item identifying the image content item and its location on a network, and at least one of (i) a second information item identifying a signature value of an object in the image content, or (ii) identification of a recognized object in the image content.

Abstract: A similarity search may be performed on the image of a person, using visual characteristics and information that is known about the person. The search identifies images of other persons that are similar in appearance to the person in the image.

Abstract: An embodiment provides for enabling retrieval of a collection of captured images that form at least a portion of a library of images. For each image in the collection, a captured image may be analyzed to recognize information from image data contained in the captured image, and an index may be generated, where the index data is based on the recognized information. Using the index, functionality such as search and retrieval is enabled. Various recognition techniques, including those that use the face, clothing, apparel, and combinations of characteristics may be utilized. Recognition may be performed on, among other things, persons and text carried on objects.
