    Abstract: Methods of selection of health related applications and treatment and diagnosis using health related applications are provided herein. Methods include selection of a first set of health related apps by a physician for use in treatment or diagnosis of a health condition, selection of an app from the first set by the patient with a first portable device. In one aspect, the applications are provided and managed by a service providers and include regulated health related apps. In some methods, the system communications with an insurer so as to indicate to a patient an insurance related attribute associated with each app to facilitate selection by the patient. In another aspect, methods include communication of health data elements obtained with the first portable device to the health service provider for tracking or analysis and subsequent communication between any of the first portable device and the service provider, insurer and physician.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to blood pressure monitoring. In some embodiments, methods and devices of measuring a mean arterial pressure are provided and/or monitoring blood pressure changes. A wrist-worn device may include a plurality of sensors backed by a plurality of actuators. Subsets of the plurality of sensors may be selectively actuateable against a wrist of a user using one or more of the plurality of actuators. A preferred sensor and location may be identified based on pressure signals received from each of the sensors. In some embodiments, devices may use a fluid bladder coupled with piezoelectric film sensors. A fluid bladder pressure sensor may be used to calibrate the piezoelectric film signal to provide a static and dynamic pressure reading. In yet another embodiment, a mean arterial pressure may be calculated by processing a swept pressure signal obtained as a sensor is swept through different heights.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can receive a prescription for a user from a medication container device. The container device can be encoded with the prescription and can transmit the prescription (e.g., medication schedule and dosage information) to the computing device. The computing device can schedule presentation of reminders for the user to take the prescribed medication according to the prescribed schedule. In some implementations, the computing device can detect when the user has taken the prescribed medication according to the prescribed schedule and cancel a scheduled reminder. In some implementations, the computing device can remind the user to take the prescribed medication when the computing device detects that the user is near the medication container device. In some implementations, the computing device can remind the user to take the prescribed medication when the computing device detects symptoms associated with the prescribed medication.
