Abstract

A system for predicting injuries includes a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data and an apparatus having an input-output interface and a processor coupled to the input-output interface and wherein the processor is coupled to a memory, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations including receiving the sensor data, applying analytics to the sensor data, based on the applying step, predicting a likely injury, and transmitting a report based on the predicting step.

Claims (32)

1. A system for predicting injuries comprising:

a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data, wherein the sensor data include data from a vehicle obtained from a vehicle-mounted sensor;

an input-output interface; and

a processor coupled to the input-output interface and wherein the processor is coupled to a memory, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

receiving stored information from a database, wherein the database includes medical history of an occupant of a vehicle and historical sensor data;

receiving the sensor data;

identifying changes in the sensor data based on a comparison to expected sensor data and to historical sensor data;

applying predictive linear regression analytics to the sensor data based on the identifying step to create analyzed sensor data;

based on the applying step, predicting a likely injury to the occupant of the vehicle involved with an event associated with the vehicle;

transmitting a report comprising the medical history and the likely injury to the occupant of the vehicle based on the predicting step.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the predicting step comprises applying trauma kinematics analysis to the analyzed sensor data.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of sensors further comprise person-mounted sensors mounted on clothing of the occupant of the vehicle and wherein the sensor data also includes second sensor data from the person-mounted sensors.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the operations further comprise receiving additional data inputs from an external server and the applying step comprises applying predictive linear regression analytics to a combination of the analyzed sensor data and the additional data inputs.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the additional data inputs comprise one of text inputs, voice inputs and screen inputs.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the operations further comprise recording the likely injury in the memory.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the transmitting step comprises transmitting the report to one of a care facility and a first responder.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the stored information from the database also includes capabilities of the care facility.

9. A method comprising:

receiving historical medical data of an occupant of a vehicle;

receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors, wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is a vehicle-mounted sensor associated with the vehicle and at least another one of the plurality of sensors is an occupant-mounted sensor associated with the occupant of the vehicle wherein the occupant-mounted sensors are configured to monitor movements of the occupant of the vehicle;

identifying changes in the sensor data based on a comparison to expected sensor data;

analyzing the changed sensor data using predictive linear regression analytics;

applying trauma kinematics to the analyzed sensor data;

predicting an injury to the occupant of the vehicle based on the applying step; and

transmitting a report comprising the predicted injury and the medical history.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the transmitting step comprises transmitting the report to one of a care facility and a first responder.

11. The system method of claim 10 further comprising storing in a database capabilities of the care facility.

12. The method of claim 9 further wherein the sensor data is received wirelessly by an application operating in a controller.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the controller is a user device.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein the controller is located within a connected vehicle.

15. The method of claim 9 wherein the sensor data are compared to historical sensor data.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising comparing the predicted injury to an historical record of injuries.
