Abstract

In one embodiment, a method comprising: (a) receiving a set of physiological data associated with at least one health condition of an animal subject; (b) receiving a set of environmental data associated with one or more environment conditions to which the subject is or has been exposed; (c) determining a set of operating parameters for at least one environmental device based at least partially on at least a portion of the set of physiological data and at least a portion of the set of environmental data; and (d) transmitting the set of operating parameters to the at least one environmental device to at least partially control at least one controlled environmental condition to which the subject is exposed to thereby at partially control the at least one health condition.

Claims (29)

1. A method comprising:

receiving physiological data associated with at least one health condition of an animal subject;

receiving environmental data associated with one or more environment conditions to which the animal subject is or has been exposed, wherein said environmental data comprises at least historical data over a certain period, wherein said certain period is at least one hour;

determining operating parameters for at least one environmental device having variable output based at least partially on at least a portion of physiological data and at least a portion of said historical data, wherein determining the operating parameters comprises at least comparing said at least one physiological data to a baseline measurement and either increasing or decreasing said output depending on whether said at least one physiological data is above or below said baseline, wherein the degree to which the output is increased or decreased depends at least in part on said historical data;

transmitting the set of operating parameters to the at least one environmental device to at least partially control the output to thereby at partially control the at least one health condition; and

wherein said environmental condition comprises at least one of temperature, time, time zone, location of the animal, presence of the animal, duration of the presence of the animal, humidity, wind, wind chill, precipitation, barometric pressure, sun rise and sun set, dew point, tides, smog index/air quality, UV index, sound/noise, light exposure, diet, drug intake.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental device controls said environmental condition.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental condition comprises at least smog index/air quality.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental condition comprises at least UV index.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental condition comprises at least sound/noise.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental condition comprises at least diet.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said environmental condition comprises at least drug intake.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the operating parameters comprises comparing the at least a portion of physiological data and the at least a portion of environmental data to one or more predetermined limits and then using logic operators based on the comparison to establish the operating parameters for the at least one environmental device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined limits are established using a learning program.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined limits are established by altering the at least one environmental condition and recording the change in the at least one health condition.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said animal is a human.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein said set of environmental data is obtained at least partially from a wearable.

13. A method comprising:

receiving a set of physiological data associated with at least one health condition of an animal subject;

receiving a set of environmental data associated with one or more environment conditions to which the animal subject is or has been exposed, wherein said set of environmental data comprises at least historical data corresponding to accumulated light exposure of said subject over a certain period, wherein said certain period is at least one hour;

determining a set of operating parameters for at least one environmental device having variable output based at least partially on at least a portion of the set of physiological data and at least a portion of the set of environmental data, and wherein determining the operating parameters comprises determining a change in output of said at least one environmental device based on said at least one physiological data and said accumulated light exposure, wherein determining the operating parameters comprises at least comparing said at least one physiological data to a baseline measurement and either increasing or decreasing said output depending on whether said at least one physiological data is above or below said baseline, wherein the degree to which the output is increased or decreased depends at least in part on said accumulated light exposure;

transmitting the set of operating parameters to the at least one environmental device to at least partially control the output to thereby at partially control the at least one health condition; and

wherein said environmental condition comprises at least one of temperature, time, time zone, location of the animal, presence of the animal, duration of the presence of the animal, humidity, wind, wind chill, precipitation, barometric pressure, sun rise and sun set, dew point, tides, smog index/air quality, UV index, sound/noise, light exposure, diet, drug intake.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said animal is a human.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein said human is a shift worker.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein said set of environmental data is obtained at least partially from a wearable.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein said wearable is a smart watch.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein said human is a shift worker.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein said wearable is a smart watch.
