Abstract

Claims (65)

1. An engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the at least one processor of the ECSP computer device is programmed to:

receive a plurality of telematics information from a vehicle associated with a senior user;

determine a driving score for the senior user based upon the plurality of telematics information;

compare the driving score to a plurality of driving scores to determine a trend;

compare the driving score to the plurality of driving scores and a medication schedule of the senior user;

determine a medication associated with a change in driving scores; and

transmit a message to a client device associated with a caregiver indicating the trend of driving scores of the senior user.

2. The ECSP computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to determine that the senior user is driving is further based upon information from an accelerometer and a Global Positioning System (GPS) of a mobile computer device of the senior user.

3. The ECSP computer device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of telematics information received from the vehicle is received from one or more sensors of the vehicle.

4. The ECSP computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to generate the message to the client device to include the medication associated with the change in driving scores.

5. The ECSP computer device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

compare the driving score to the plurality of driving scores and a historical list of doctor visits of the senior user;

determine that a potential cause of the trend as a needed doctor appointment; and

transmit the potential cause to the client device of the caregiver.

6. The ECSP computer device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

propose an appointment for the needed doctor appointment; and

transmit the proposed appointment to at least one of the caregiver and the senior user.

7. A computer-implemented method performed by an engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer system including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of telematics information from a vehicle associated with a senior user;

determining a driving score for the senior user based upon the plurality of telematics information;

comparing the driving score to a plurality of driving scores to determine a trend;

comparing the driving score to a plurality of driving scores and a medication schedule of the senior user;

determining a medication associated with a change in driving scores; and

transmitting a message to a client device of a caregiver indicating the trend of driving scores of the senior user.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising determining that the senior user is driving is further based upon information from an accelerometer and a Global Positioning System (GPS) of a mobile computer device of the senior user.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of telematics information received from the vehicle is received from one or more sensors of the vehicle.

10. The method of claim 7 further comprising generating the message to the client device to include the medication associated with the change in driving scores.

11. The method of claim 7 further comprises:

comparing the driving score to a plurality of driving scores and a historical list of doctor visits of the senior user;

determining that a potential cause of the trend as a needed doctor appointment; and

transmitting the potential cause to the client device of the caregiver.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprises:

proposing an appointment for the needed doctor appointment; and

transmitting the proposed appointment to at least one of the caregiver and the senior user.

13. An engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the at least one processor of the ECSP computer device is programmed to:

monitor a plurality of actions associated with a senior user, the plurality of actions comprising a plurality of telematics information from a vehicle associated with the senior user;

determine a driving score for the senior user based upon an output from a model of an activity pattern of the senior user based on the plurality of actions;

detect a deviation in the activity pattern of the senior user based on comparing the driving score to a plurality of driving scores;

compare the driving score to the plurality of driving scores and a medication schedule of the senior user;

determine a medication associated with a change in driving scores; and

transmit a message to a client device associated with a caregiver about the deviation.

14. The ECSP computer device of claim 13 , wherein the activity pattern includes sleep patterns of the senior user, and wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

detect a plurality of sleeping activities performed by the senior user;

update the model to include the plurality of sleeping activities performed by the senior user;

monitor current sleep patterns of the senior user;

detect a change in the sleep patterns of the senior user; and

transmit a message to the client device about the change in the sleep patterns of the senior user.

15. The ECSP computer device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

detect at least one pattern based on the plurality of actions by the senior user;

generate a question to confirm the at least one pattern;

transmit the question to the senior user;

receive a response to the question from the senior user; and

update the model based on the response.

16. The ECSP computer device of claim 15 , wherein the question is a yes or no question.

17. The ECSP computer device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

store a schedule of medicine information for the senior user;

determine a medicine that is due to be taken by the senior user at a current time; and

transmit a first notification to a user device about the medicine that is due to be taken at the current time.

18. The ECSP computer device of claim 17 , wherein the user device is in communication with one or more pill bottle devices, and wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

determine if the medicine was taken subsequent to the first notification based on an input from the one or more pill bottle devices; and

if the medicine was not taken, transmit a second notification to the user device about the medicine that is due to be taken.

19. The ECSP computer device of claim 18 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

determine if the medicine was taken subsequent to the second notification based on a second input from the one or more pill bottle devices; and

if the medicine was not taken, transmit a message to the client device that the medicine was not taken.

20. The ECSP computer device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to generate the message to the client device to include the medication associated with the change in driving scores.
