Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for dynamically controlling an appliance based on information received from a wearable device, to regulate the user's health. A wearable device is identified and configured to monitor at least one physiological aspect of the user. A controllable appliance with at least one sensor and at least one controllable setting is also identified. Health information of the user is received and utilized in generating, a user profile which comprises parameters related to the health of the user. Data from the wearable device and data from the controllable appliance is analyzed and it is determined whether the data matches the parameters related to the health of the user. If the data does not match the parameters related to the health of the user, then at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance is adjusted.

Claims (71)

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors, a wearable device, with at least one user sensor, wherein the wearable device is associated with a user, and wherein the at least one user sensor monitors at least one physiological aspect of the user;

identifying, by one or more processors, at least one controllable appliance associated with the user, with at least one appliance sensor and at least one controllable setting;

receiving, by one or more processors, health information of the user from the identified wearable device, wherein the health information includes data associated with the at least one physiological aspect of the user;

in response to receiving the health information of the user, generating, by one or more processors, a user profile, wherein the user profile comprises parameters related to the health of the user;

receiving, by one or more processors, a first set of data from the wearable device and a second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance;

determining, by one or more processors, whether the received first set of data and the received second set of data matches the parameters related to the health of the user; and

in response to determining that the received data does not match the parameters related to the health of the user, adjusting, by one or more processors, at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance, so that the second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance and the first set of data from the wearable device matches the user profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one physiological aspect comprises at least one of the following:

data relating to activity of the user;

data relating to sleep of the user; and

data relating to food consumption of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance comprises at least one of the following:

a temperature control;

a power setting control; and

an overriding control for a predefined setting.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameters relating to the health of the user comprise:

an ambient temperature range for the user; and

food recommendation for the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a user interface associated with the at least one controllable appliance, wherein the user interface allows a user to adjust the parameters relating to the user profile.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating a user profile comprises:

analyzing, by one or more processors, a set of parameters wherein the set of parameters are based, at least in part, on the health profile of the user, and a schedule of the user.

7. A computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to identify a wearable device, with at least one user sensor, wherein the wearable device is associated with a user, and wherein the at least one user sensor monitors at least one physiological aspect of the user;

program instructions to identify at least one controllable appliance associated with the user, with at least one appliance sensor and at least one controllable setting;

program instructions to receive health information of the user from the identified wearable device, wherein the health information includes data associated with the at least one physiological aspect of the user;

in response to receiving the health information of the user, program instructions to generate a user profile, wherein the user profile comprises parameters related to the health of the user;

program instructions to receive a first set of data from the wearable device and a second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance;

program instructions to determine whether the received first set of data and the received second set of data matches the parameters related to the health of the user; and

in response to determining that the received data does not match the parameters related to the health of the user, program instructions to adjust at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance, so that the second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance and the first set of data from the wearable device matches the user profile.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the at least one physiological aspect comprises at least one of the following:

data relating to activity of the user;

data relating to sleep of the user; and

data relating to food consumption of the user.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance comprises at least one of the following:

a temperature control;

a power setting control; and

an overriding control for a predefined setting.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the parameters relating to the health of the user comprise:

an ambient temperature range for the user; and

food recommendation for the user.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , further comprising:

program instructions to provide a user interface associated with the at least one controllable appliance, wherein the user interface allows a user to adjust the parameters relating to the user profile.

12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein program instructions to generate a user profile comprises:

program instructions to analyze a set of parameters wherein the set of parameters are based, at least in part, on the health profile of the user, and a schedule of the user.

13. A computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to identify a wearable device, with at least one user sensor, wherein the wearable device is associated with a user, and wherein the at least one user sensor monitors at least one physiological aspect of the user;

program instructions to identify at least one controllable appliance associated with the user, with at least one appliance sensor and at least one controllable setting;

program instructions to receive health information of the user from the identified wearable device, wherein the health information includes data associated with the at least one physiological aspect of the user;

in response to receiving the health information of the user, program instructions to generate a user profile, wherein the user profile comprises parameters related to the health of the user;

program instructions to receive a first set of data from the wearable device and a second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance;

program instructions to determine whether the received first set of data and the received second set of data matches the parameters related to the health of the user; and

in response to determining that the received data does not match the parameters related to the health of the user, program instructions to adjust at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance, so that the second set of data from the at least one controllable appliance and the first set of data from the wearable device matches the user profile.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one physiological aspect comprises at least one of the following:
