Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for illness detection are described. A method may include identifying physical activity data, sleep data, or both, associated with a user based on physiological data for the user collected via a wearable device throughout a first and second time interval. The method may include inputting the physical activity data, the sleep data, or both, into a classifier, and identifying, using the classifier, a satisfaction of deviation criteria between a subsets of the physical activity data, the sleep data, or both, collected throughout the first and second intervals. The method may further include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an illness rick metric associated with the user based at least in part on the satisfaction of the deviation criteria, the illness risk metric associated with a probability that the user will transition from a healthy state to an unhealthy state.

generating the pattern adjustment model based at least in part on the additional physiological data.

8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

identifying one or more predictive weights associated with the physical activity data, the sleep data, or both, based on the activity pattern and the sleeping pattern, respectively, the one or more predictive weights associated with a relative predictive accuracy for detecting illness, wherein identifying satisfaction of the one or more deviation criteria is based at least in part on the one or more predictive weights.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying that one or more changes between a first portion of the sleep data collected during the first time interval and a second portion of sleep data collected during the second time interval satisfy one or more thresholds, wherein identifying the satisfaction of the one or more deviation criteria is based at least in part on the one or more changes.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more changes comprise a change in a bed time for the user, a change in a wake-up time for the user, a change in a sleep duration for the user, a change in a sleep latency for the user, a change in a consistency in bed times for the user, a change in a consistency in wake times for the user, or any combination thereof.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
