Secure method for health record transmission to emergency service personnel
An indication that an occupant has entered a vehicle is detected on a computing device. The occupant is identified based on the indication that the occupant has entered the vehicle. A health record that is associated with the occupant is accessed by the computing device. The computing device enables the accessed health record associated with the occupant to be available from a secure digital storage container. The health record associated with the occupant is provided to a second computing device registered to a first responder from the secure digital storage container based on detecting an indication that the vehicle has had a collision.
1. A computer implemented method executed by a first computing device, the method comprising:
detecting, by the first computing device, a first set of sensor data collected by one or more sensors, the first set of sensor data indicative of a first motion of a user;
determining, by the first computing device, that the user is presently engaged in a high risk activity based on a statistical model and the first set of sensor data;
based on determining that the user is presently engaged in the high risk activity, generating, by the first computing device and at a first time, a secure digital container that temporarily stores health record information associated with the user on the first computing device;
determining, by the first computing device and at a second time, that an accident has occurred based on a second set of sensor data collected by the one or more sensors, the second set of sensor data indicative of a second motion of the user; and
based on determining that the accident has occurred:
establishing, by the first computing device, a short-range connection with a second computing device, and
providing, by the first computing device, access to the secure digital container over the short-range connection;
determining, by the first computing device and at a third time, that the user is no longer engaged in the high risk activity; and
based on determining that the user is no longer engaged in the high risk activity at the third time, terminating, by the first computing device, access to the secure digital container over the short-range connection.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
determining that the accident has occurred comprises determining that the accident has occurred based on the second set of sensor data; and
the second computing device is registered to a first responder.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein terminating access to the secure digital container comprises:
changing a state of the health record information such that the health record information can be accessed from the secure digital container;
authenticating the second computing device as being registered to the first responder;
in response to authenticating the second computing device, sending data representing the health record information of the secure digital container to the second computing device; and
changing the state of the health record information such that the health record information can no longer be accessed from the secure digital container after the third time.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
comparing the second set of sensor data to statistical model data, the statistical model data being indicative of expected sensor data for accidents; and
wherein determining that the accident has occurred comprises determining, based on comparing the second set of sensor data to the statistical model data, that the accident has occurred.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user is presently engaged in a high risk activity comprises comparing an activity parameter specified in the first set of sensor data to an activity threshold value.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first set of sensor data comprises motion data from a motion sensor included in the one or more sensors.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first set of sensor data comprises GPS data.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the activity threshold value is obtained from an activity profile that includes stored sensor data from a previous time that the user had performed the high risk activity.
9. The method of claim, 5 wherein the activity threshold value is determined based on a statistical model describing expected data from the one or more sensors.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the high risk activity is a particular type of activity based on the first set of sensor data matching data associated with an activity profile of the particular type of activity.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user is presently engaged in a high risk activity comprises determining that the first set of sensor data has persisted for a predetermined period of time.
12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
detecting, by a first computing device, a first set of sensor data collected by one or more sensors, the first set of sensor data indicative of a first motion of a user;
determining, by the first computing device, that the user is presently engaged in a high risk activity based on a statistical model and the first set of sensor data;
based on determining that the user is presently engaged in the high risk activity, generating, by the first computing device and at a first time, a secure digital container that temporarily stores health record information associated with the user on the first computing device;
determining, by the first computing device and at a second time, that an accident has occurred based on a second set of sensor data collected by the one or more sensors, the second set of sensor data indicative of a second motion of the user; and
based on determining that the accident has occurred:
establishing, by the first computing device, a short-range connection with a second computing device, and
providing, by the first computing device, access to the secure digital container over the short-range connection;
determining, by the first computing device and at a third time, that the user is no longer engaged in the high risk activity; and
based on determining that the user is no longer engaged in the high risk activity at the third time, terminating, by the first computing device, access to the secure digital container over the short-range connection.
13. The medium of claim 12 , wherein:
determining that the accident has occurred comprises determining that the accident has occurred based on the second set of sensor data; and
the second computing device is registered to a first responder.
14. The medium of claim 13 , wherein terminating access to the secure digital container comprises:
changing a state of the health record information such that the health record information can be accessed from the secure digital container;
authenticating the second computing device as being registered to the first responder;
in response to authenticating the second computing device, sending data representing the health record information of the secure digital container to the second computing device; and
changing the state of the health record information such that the health record information can no longer be accessed from the secure digital container after the third time.
15. The medium of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
comparing the second set of sensor data to statistical model data, the statistical model data being indicative of expected sensor data for accidents; and
wherein determining that the accident has occurred comprises determining, based on comparing the second set of sensor data to the statistical model data, that the accident has occurred.
16. The medium of claim 12 , wherein determining that the user is presently engaged in a high risk activity comprises comparing an activity parameter specified in the first set of sensor data to an activity threshold value.
17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, to a server, an instruction to store the health record information associated with the user in the secure digital container.
