Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for dynamically controlling an appliance based on information received from a wearable device, to regulate the user's health. A wearable device is identified and configured to monitor at least one physiological aspect of the user. A controllable appliance with at least one sensor and at least one controllable setting is also identified. Health information of the user is received and utilized in generating, a user profile which comprises parameters related to the health of the user. Data from the wearable device and data from the controllable appliance is analyzed and it is determined whether the data matches the parameters related to the health of the user. If the data does not match the parameters related to the health of the user, then at least one controllable setting of the at least one controllable appliance is adjusted.

Claims (11)

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors, a wearable device, with one or more user sensor, wherein the wearable device is associated with a user;

receiving, by one or more processors, one or more physiological aspect of the user, based on the identified one or more user sensor, wherein the received one or more physiological aspect of the user is body temperature;

identifying, by one or more processors, one or more controllable appliance with one or more appliance sensor and one or more controllable setting, wherein one or more appliance sensor is a temperature sensor, and wherein the one or more controllable setting is a temperature control;

receiving, by one or more processors, a set of location information of the user, based in part on the one or more user sensor of the wearable device, in relation to the one or more controllable appliance;

determining, by one or more processors, a schedule for the user based in part on the received set of location information of the user;

receiving, by one or more processors, an ambient temperature reading from the one or more appliance sensor;

receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of predetermined healthy ambient temperature range for the user, wherein the plurality of predetermined healthy ambient temperature range for the user are based on the one or more physiological aspect of the user;

determining, by one or more processors, whether the ambient temperature reading from the one or more appliance sensor is within one of the plurality of predetermined healthy ambient temperature range for the user, based on, the body temperature of the user, and the location of the user;

in response to determining that ambient temperature reading is not within one of the plurality of predetermined healthy ambient temperature range for the user, adjusting, by one or more processors, the one or more controllable setting of the one or more controllable appliance, so that the ambient temperature reading corresponds with one of the plurality of predetermined healthy ambient temperature range for the user based on the body temperature of the user; and

in response to determining that the set of location information of the user, in relation to the one or more controllable appliance does not match the schedule of the user, adjusting, by one or more processors, the one or more controllable settings of the one or more controllable appliance, so that the one or more controllable appliance adjusts based on to the location of the user.
