Abstract

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a device that comprises a heart monitor. The device can further comprise GPS hardware and machine instructions. The device comprises a wireless transceiver and a battery. The battery that provides electrical energy to the wireless transceiver and a processor. The processor is constructed to receive signals from the heart monitor and determine that an emergency has occurred.

Claims (58)

1. A device comprising:

an electrocardiogram constructed to measure heart parameters;

GPS hardware and machine instructions;

a wireless transceiver;

a processor constructed to:

receive an electrical signal from a battery and determines whether the battery has a charge level that is above a predetermined threshold, wherein when the charge level is below the predetermined threshold, the processor automatically suspends activities of the processor after causing the wireless transceiver to transmit information comprising a location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and information concerning a user;

receive signals from the electrocardiogram;

determine, based upon the electrocardiogram that an emergency has occurred, the emergency determined via creation of user heart norms and sets at least one alarm, the alarm based on one or more of:

a drop of a heartbeat frequency below a first threshold;

a spike of the heartbeat frequency above a second threshold; and

a detected cessation in heart beat frequency; and

without a touch of the user, cause the wireless transceiver to transmit the information comprising the location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and the information concerning the user;

the battery that provides electrical energy to the wireless transceiver and the processor; and

a band comprising a cut resistant material, the cut resistant material constructed to resist unauthorized removal of the band from an arm of the user.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a touch screen constructed to utilize a software application.

3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first touch screen constructed to utilize a software application; and

a second touch screen constructed to render information concerning the emergency.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a speaker communicatively coupled to the wireless transceiver.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a biometric sensor that is constructed to identify the user based upon a unique characteristic of the user, wherein removal of the device is restricted unless the biometric sensor verifies identity of the user.

6. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a microphone constructed to generate a signal responsive to human voices in proximity to the device, wherein the processor is constructed to recognize and interpret human speech to determine that the emergency has occurred; and

without the touch of the user, cause the wireless transceiver to transmit the information comprising the location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and the information concerning the user.

7. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera constructed to generate a signal responsive to motion in proximity to the device, wherein the processor is constructed to recognize and interpret human actions from the signal from the camera to determine that the emergency has occurred; and

without the touch of the user, cause the wireless transceiver to transmit the information comprising the location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and the information concerning the user.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the determination that the emergency has occurred is based upon a heart rate of the user being above a predetermined heart rate threshold.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the determination that the emergency has occurred is based upon a heart rate of the user being above a predetermined heart rate threshold.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the information comprising the location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and the information concerning the user is transmitted to an emergency medical system.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the device sends an alert if the GPS hardware and machine instructions determine that the device is located outside a predetermined location range.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the device sends an alert if tampering with the device is detected.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the device sends an alert if attempted removal of the device from the user is detected.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the device sends an alert if attempted removal of the device from the user is detected after the charge level of the battery is below the predetermined threshold.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the device sends a response to a ping received by the wireless transceiver from an app, the ping requesting a location of the user based upon the GPS hardware and machine instructions.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein

personal information concerning the user is stored in a memory device comprised by the device, wherein signals transmitted from the device comprise the personal information.

17. A device comprising:

a heart rate monitor constructed to measure heartbeat frequency;

GPS hardware and machine instructions;

a wireless transceiver;

a processor constructed to:

receive an electrical signal from a battery and determines whether the battery has a charge level that is above a predetermined threshold, wherein when the charge level is below the predetermined threshold, the processor automatically suspends activities of the processor after causing the wireless transceiver to transmit information comprising a location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and information concerning a user;

receive signals from the heart rate monitor;

determine, based upon the heart rate monitor that an emergency has occurred; and

without a touch of the user, cause the wireless transceiver to transmit the information comprising the location determined by the GPS hardware and machine instructions and the information concerning the user;

the battery that provides electrical energy to the wireless transceiver and the processor; and

a band comprising a cut resistant material, the cut resistant material constructed to resist unauthorized removal of the band from an arm of the user.
