Abstract

A system, method and wireless earpieces for populating an electronic health record utilizing wireless earpieces. Sensor measurements of a user are performed utilizing sensors of the wireless earpieces. The sensor measurements are analyzed. The sensor measurements are associated with the electronic health record of the user. The electronic health record of the user is populated with the sensor measurements. Communications including information from the electronic health record are communicated.

Claims (38)

A method for populating an electronic health record by wireless earpieces including a first wireless earpiece and a second wireless earpiece, the first wireless earpiece having a first earpiece housing and the second wireless earpiece having a second earpiece housing, the method comprising steps of:

receiving user input through the wireless earpieces to create the electronic health record wherein the user input specifies fields within the electronic health record and wherein the user input includes identifying information of to “a user of the wireless earpieces;

creating the electronic health record at the wireless earpieces, the electronic health record including the fields specified by the user input;

receiving a selection of user preferences at the wireless earpieces using one or more sensors of the wireless earpieces, wherein at least one of the one or more sensors is disposed within the first earpiece housing of the wireless earpieces;

performing a set of sensor measurements at the wireless earpieces based on the user preferences using the one or more sensors of the wireless earpieces;

associating the set of sensor measurements with the user by a processor disposed within the first earpiece housing;

summarizing the set of sensor measurements using the processor disposed within the first earpiece housing to provide a sensor data summary;

populating the fields of the electronic health record using the set of sensor measurements, the sensor data summary, and the identifying information of the user, the populating the electronic health record performed using the processor disposed within the first earpiece housing;

translating a portion of the electronic health record into speech by the wireless earpieces;

outputting the translated portion of the electronic health record to the user by a speaker of the wireless earpieces; and

storing the populated electronic health record in a memory of one of the wireless earpieces, the memory operatively connected to the processor and disposed within the first earpiece housing.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the identifying information of the user comprises at least two of a patient id, a name of the user, a date of birth of the user, and a social security number of the user.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the sensor data summary comprises a time period for the sensor measurements, a high reading and a low reading for each type of sensor measurements.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more sensors include at least one environmental sensor and at least one biometric sensor and wherein the sensor measurements include both biometric data of the user from the at least one biometric sensor and environmental data of an environment associated with the user from the at least one environmental sensor and wherein the environmental data provides context for the biometric data.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the biometric data comprises pulse data and inertial data.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more sensors include at least one biometric sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing, the set of sensor measurements include sensor measurements from the at least one biometric sensor within the first wireless earpiece, and the first wireless earpiece further comprises (a) a wireless transceiver disposed within the first earpiece housing and the processor is operatively connected to the at least one biometric sensor and the wireless transceiver, (b) at least one microphone operatively connected to the processor, and (c) an inertial sensor operatively connected to the processor, wherein the selection of user preferences is performed utilizing the inertial sensor of the first earpiece, wherein the memory is configured to store the populated electronic health record and the sensor data summary.

7. A method for populating an electronic health record utilizing wireless earpieces, comprising:

providing the wireless earpieces, the wireless earpieces including a first wireless earpiece and a second wireless earpiece;

identifying a user of the wireless earpieces by the wireless earpieces utilizing at least one sensor within a first earpiece housing for the first wireless earpiece;

receiving user input through the wireless earpieces to create the electronic health record by the wireless earpieces wherein the user input specifies a plurality of fields within the electronic health record to the wireless earpieces and wherein the plurality of fields includes identifying information of the user and a biometric data field;

creating the electronic health record by an intelligent control of the first wireless earpiece, the electronic health record including the plurality of fields within the electronic health record specified by the user input;

receiving a selection of user preferences at the wireless earpieces utilizing at least an inertial sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing;

performing sensor measurements of the user utilizing a plurality of sensors of the wireless earpieces wherein the plurality of sensors include at least one biometric sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing and at least one environmental sensor;

summarizing the sensor measurements by the intelligent control of the first wireless earpiece to store in the electronic health record;

populating the plurality of fields of the electronic health record with the sensor measurements and the summary of the sensor measurements, the populating the electronic health record performed using the intelligent control of the first wireless earpiece, the intelligent control disposed within the first earpiece housing;

translating the summary of the sensor measurements into speech by the wireless earpieces;

communicating the translated summary of the sensor measurements audibly to the user using a speaker of the wireless earpieces;

storing the populated electronic health record in a memory of the first wireless earpiece, the memory operatively connected to the intelligent control disposed within the first earpiece housing; and

sending the electronic health record from the wireless earpieces to another device.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the sensor measurements include biometric data sensed by the at least one biometric sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing, the selection of user preferences performed using the inertial sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing:

wherein the first earpiece further comprises a wireless transceiver disposed within the first earpiece housing for voice communications, the intelligent control disposed within the first earpiece housing is operatively connected to the at least one biometric sensor disposed within the first earpiece housing, the inertial sensor and the wireless transceiver are disposed within the first earpiece housing, at least one microphone is operatively connected to the intelligent control of the first earpiece, a near field magnetic induction transceiver of the first earpiece is operatively connected to the intelligent control of the first earpiece for communication with the second earpiece, the memory is configured to store the populated electronic health record;

wherein the second earpiece comprises at least one biometric sensor disposed within a second earpiece housing, an intelligent control of the second earpiece operatively connected to the at least one biometric sensor disposed within the second earpiece housing, at least one microphone of the second earpiece operatively connected to the intelligent control of the second earpiece, an inertial sensor of the second earpiece operatively connected to the intelligent control of the second earpiece, a near field magnetic induction transceiver of the second earpiece operatively connected to the intelligent control of the second earpiece for communication with the first earpiece, a memory of the second earpiece operatively connected to the intelligent control of the second earpiece.
