Abstract

A system and method for monitoring a status of a user. One or more biometrics associated with a user in a residence where the user resides are sensed. A status of the user is determined in response to sensing the one or more biometrics. One or more questions about the status to the user are communicated. One or more answers to the one or more questions communicated to the user are received. The status is communicated to an administrator of the residence. The status is communicated in response to one or more of the answers.

Claims (42)

1. A method for monitoring a status of a user, comprising:

sensing one or more biometrics associated with a user in a residence where the user resides utilizing one or more of a plurality of sensors of a system;

determining a status of the user in response to sensing the one or more biometrics and comparing the one or more biometrics with thresholds associated with the user;

communicating one or more questions about the status to the user through a user interface of the system;

receiving one or more answers to the one or more questions communicated to the user through the user interface of the system to update the status of the user;

communicating the status of the user to an administrator of the system, wherein the status is communicated in response to the one or more answers;

automatically delivering medication to a lockbox of the residence of the user for consumption through a pneumatic delivery system, wherein the medication is delivered through the pneumatic delivery system controlled by the system in response to the one or more biometrics and the answers received from the user and processed by the user interface of the system, and

releasing safeguards in the residence to dispense the medication from the lockbox for utilization by the user in response to receiving the one or more biometrics from the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensing is performed by two or more of the plurality of sensors in the residence and a wearable sensor associated with the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more questions are pre-recorded by a family member or friend associated with the user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more questions are posed in response to at least one of the one or more biometrics exceeding a threshold, wherein the one or more biometrics and thresholds include at least heart rate, blood pressure, and physical orientation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

automatically delivering the medication to the lockbox of the residence associated with the user in real-time for consumption utilizing one or more channels of the pneumatic delivery system, wherein the automatically delivering is performed without user interaction.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometrics include one or more odors sensed in the residence.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status is communicated to a lockbox in the residence for relay through a network managed by the system.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pneumatic delivery system includes controls for delivering the medication to the lockbox of the residence through a network of tubes, wherein the lockbox utilizes one or more biometrics to release the safeguards.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status is determined utilizing one or more thresholds associated with the one or more biometrics.

10. A system for determining a status of a user, comprising:

a plurality of sensors sensing one or more biometrics of a user in a residence associated with the user;

a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors determines the status of the user in response to the one or more biometrics and thresholds for the one or more biometrics, communicates one or more questions about the status to the user, receives one or more answers through a user interface to update the status of the user, and controls automatic delivery of medication to a lockbox associated with the residence of the user in response to the one or more biometrics and the one or more answers received by, the user interface from the user;

a transceiver in communication with the controller that communicates the status in response to receiving the one or more answers; and

a pneumatic delivery system for delivering medication to the lockbox associated with the user in response to commands from the controller, wherein the lockbox requires one of the one or more biometrics to be read from a biometric wearable to release the medication.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of sensors include at least a sensor in the residence and a wearable sensor associated with the user, and wherein the one or more questions are communicated by the controller in response to the biometric exceeding a threshold, wherein the one or more biometrics and thresholds include at least heart rate, blood pressure, and physical orientation.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more questions are pre-recorded by a family member or friend associated with the user.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the delivery system further comprises one or more of:

one or more drones for automatically delivering the medication to a location of the user in real-time for utilization; and

a pneumatic system for delivery the medication through one or more tubes.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the status is communicated to one or more parties associated with the user.

15. One or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system having stored therein instructions, which when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform operations that comprise;

sense one or more biometrics associated with a user in a residence where the user resides utilizing one or more of a plurality of sensors of the system, wherein the sensing is performed by two or more of a plurality of sensors in the residence and a wearable sensor associated with the user;

determine a status of the user in response to sensing the one or more biometrics and comparing the one or more biometrics with thresholds associated with the user;

communicate one or more questions about the status to the user through a user interface of the system;

receive one or more answers to the one or more questions communicated to the user through the user interface of the system to update the status of the user;

communicate the status to an administrator of the residence, wherein the status is communicated in response to receiving the one or more of the answers;

automatically delivering medication to a lockbox of the residence of the user for consumption through a pneumatic delivery system in response to the one or more biometrics and the one or more answers received from the user, wherein the medication is delivered through the pneumatic delivery system controlled by the system; and

release safeguards to dispense the medication from the lockbox for utilization by the user in response to receiving the one or more biometrics from the user.

16. The one or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system of claim 15 , wherein the pneumatic delivery system includes controls for delivering the medication pneumatically through a network of tubes.

17. The one or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more questions are pre-recorded by a family member or friend associated with the user.

18. The one or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more questions are posed in response to the one or more biometrics exceeding the thresholds.

19. The one or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions perform operations that further comprise:

automatically delivering medication to the user in real-time utilizing one or more drones.

20. The one or more non-transitory machine-readable media of a system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more biometrics and thresholds include at least heart rate, blood pressure, odors, and physical orientation.
