Abstract

A system including a drone device comprising securable compartments, each of the securable compartments lockable and configured to be unlocked by a user or a remote device is provided. The system also includes a series of sensors provided with the drone device and configured to assess health attributes of the user while the drone is positioned proximate the user and a remote computing system configured to receive sensed information from the drone device and assess health of the user, wherein the remote computing system holographically displays health attributes of the user. The drone device travels to the user to provide or receive healthcare related objects to or from the user. The series of sensors comprise at least one audio sensor and at least one video sensor configured to assess user health attributes about the user's body in a contactless manner based on both audio and visual health attribute readings.

Claims (35)

1. A system comprising:

a drone device comprising a plurality of securable compartments, each of the securable compartments lockable and configured to be unlocked by a user or a remote device, wherein the user comprises a user approved to unlock at least one locking compartment;

a series of sensors provided with the drone device and configured to assess health attributes of the user while the drone is positioned proximate the user; and

a remote computing system configured to receive sensed information from the drone device and assess health of the user, wherein the remote computing system holographically displays health attributes of the user;

wherein the drone device travels to the user to provide or receive healthcare related objects to or from the user;

wherein the series of sensors comprise at least one audio sensor and at least one video sensor jointly configured to assess user health attributes about the user's body in a contactless manner based on both audio and visual health attribute readings, wherein the contactless manner comprises refraining from physically contacting the user's body.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a charging station used to electrically recharge the drone device.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a transport mechanism configured to maintain and transport the drone device to a desired location and deploy the drone toward the user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of securable compartments are each configured to maintain at least one medication for the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of securable compartments are each configured to receive samples provided by the user or a healthcare individual.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a camera sensor.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a microphone.

8. A rechargeable drone device arrangement comprising:

a series of sensors configured to receive information about a user and transmit the information to a computing system configured to assess the information collected from the drone device;

a plurality of locking securable compartments configured to maintain samples or medications, wherein the plurality of locking securable compartments are each configured to be openable only by an approved individual; and

a remote computing system configured to receive sensed information from the drone device and assess health of the user, wherein the remote computing system holographically displays health attributes of the user;

wherein the drone device travels to the user to provide or receive healthcare related objects to or from the user;

wherein the series of sensors comprise at least one audio sensor and at least one video sensor jointly configured to assess user health attributes about the user's body in a contactless manner using both audio and visual health attribute readings, wherein the contactless manner comprises refraining from physically contacting the user's body.

9. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the rechargeable drone device is further configured to engage a charging station that electrically recharges the rechargeable drone device.

10. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the drone device is configured to be provided to a transport mechanism configured to maintain and transport the rechargeable drone device to a desired location and deploy the rechargeable drone device toward the user.

11. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of locking securable compartments are each configured to maintain at least one medication for the user.

12. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of locking securable compartments are each configured to receive samples provided by the user or a healthcare individual.

13. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a camera sensor.

14. The rechargeable drone device arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a microphone.

15. A system comprising:

a drone device comprising

a plurality of locking securable compartments, each of the plurality of locking securable compartments configured to be unlocked only by a user or a remote device, wherein the user comprises a user approved to unlock at least one locking securable compartment; and

a series of sensors configured to assess health attributes of the user while the drone is positioned proximate the user, wherein the series of sensors comprise at least one audio sensor and at least one video sensor configured to assess user health attributes about the user's body in a contactless manner based on both audio and visual health attribute readings, wherein the contactless manner comprises refraining from physically contacting the user's body; and

a remote computing system configured to receive sensed information from the drone device and assess health of the user, wherein the remote computing system holographically displays health attributes of the user;

wherein the drone device travels to the user to provide or receive healthcare related objects to or from the user.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising a transport mechanism configured to maintain and transport the drone device to the position within travel distance of the user and deploy the drone toward the user.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of locking securable compartments are each configured to maintain at least one medication for the user.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of locking securable compartments are each configured to receive samples provided by the user or a healthcare individual.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a camera sensor.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the series of sensors comprise a microphone.
