COMPLETE SPECIFICATION A BIG DATA ANALYTICS SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING REAL-TIME ANALYSIS FOR THE WELLNESS OF A USER
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me
A BIG DATA ANALYTICS SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING REAL-TIME ANALYSIS FOR THE WELLNESS OF A USER BACKGROUND
[001] Field of the Invention
[002] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a wellness monitoring system and particularly to a system and method for monitoring the wellness of a user using big data analysis.
[003] Description of Related Art
[004] Dramatic demographic changes are taking place in most countries and the world population is aging. Governments face huge challenges in the health sector in the upcoming years with an aging population and shrinking budgets. Based on analytics effective spending of money is needed. Over the past decade, we have seen substantial improvement in the field of wearable technology and devices. These devices play an important role in delivering health care solutions to elderly people and patients. elderly people and patients will be made to wear personal trackers so that researchers can track the highs and lows of their conditions while they carry on with their lives. Also, remotely monitoring people will cut costs.
[005] "Big Data" is known for handling a high volume of data that gets generated at high velocity with variety in data. The aim is to build generic and usable components to perform analytics by developing novel machine learning algorithms based on vital "physiological signals" recorded from such wearable devices. This analytics platform should support scalability, integration of various predictive models, and also the analysis of sequential data. A data analytics platform is needed to examine in real-time the huge amount of data produced from these wearable devices. The data analytics platform predicts possible health problems associated with abnormal vital signs, thereby recommends precautionary/curative measures in the form of diet prescription, physical activity, sleeping hours for respective age groups, etc. Once the data has been analyzed then the processed data is fed to the mobile application. The state-of-the-art application enables the users to access the best home-based health care and to regulate their day-to-day activities. Since the data is not collected by themselves, people in the medical profession are slow in adapting to the concept of data generated by the patient himself. But there is a gradual adaption of patient generated data analytical systems in many clinical institutions enabling them to provide health care facilities at lower cost and also expand their reach.
[006] There is thus a need for a system and method for managing the selection of resources for managing the health data of the users in a more efficient manner.
SUMMARY
[007] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a wellness monitoring system, the system comprising: a wearable to be worn by a primary user, the wearable comprises: sensors configured to sense signals representing one of, health parameters of the primary user, environmental parameters, or a combination thereof; a data analytics platform is connected to the wearable, the data analytics platform configured to receive the sensed signals from each of the sensors; determine, the health parameters of the primary user and the environmental parameters based on the received sensed signals; match each of the determined health parameters with predefined abnormal health parameters of the primary user stored in a database corresponding to the determined environmental parameters; and generate an alert signal when at least one of the determined health parameters is showing abnormal characteristic, representing abnormal health.
[008] Embodiments of the present invention may provide a number of advantages depending on its particular configuration. First, embodiments of the present application provide a system for determining the wellness of a patient. Next, embodiments of the present application provide a system that uses big data analysis to determine the wellness of a patient.
[009] Next, embodiments of the present application provide a tool that may be able to store and manage the clinical information of a patient.
[0010] Next, embodiments of the present application provide a system that may forecast acute diseases by analyzing different physical signs.
[0011] Next, embodiments of the present application provide a system that may have the ability to predict and alert the medical personal or health care facility based on elderly peoples and patient's abnormal behavior.
[0012] Next, embodiments of the present application provide a system that may be used to share the aggregated and analyzed data of all the patients with other health care agencies through the API end points which helps in treating elderly people and patients in different locations.
[0013] These and other advantages will be apparent from the present application of the embodiments described herein.
