    摘要: One variation of a method for detecting and responding to falls by residents within a facility includes: at a wearable device worn by a resident, writing sensor data from a sensor integrated into the wearable device to a buffer, inputting sensor data into a compressed fall detection model—defining a compressed form of a complete fall detection model and stored locally on the wearable device—to detect a fall event at a first time, and transmitting a corpus of sensor data from the buffer and a cue for confirmation of the fall event to a local wireless hub in response to detecting the fall event; and, remotely from the wearable device, inputting the corpus of sensor data into the complete fall detection model—stored remotely from the wearable device—to confirm the fall event and dispatching a care provider to assist the resident in response to confirming the fall event.

    摘要: The present patent application relates detecting adverse medication interactions using a wearable device. In some embodiments, fall event data of a patient is obtained, the fall event data including a set of fall events experienced by the patient during a first time period. Medication data associated with the patient is also capable of being obtained. The medication data indicates a set of medications taken or prescribed to be taken by the patient during the first time period. Training data is configured to be generated for a prediction model based on the fall event data and the medication data, and the training data is capable of being provided to the prediction model. The prediction model is configured to estimate, based on the training data, a dependency between one or more medications and a risk of experiencing a fall event.

    摘要: A system, method, and computer readable medium for hybrid kernel-mode and user-mode checkpointing of multi-process applications. The computer readable medium includes computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system. A multi-process application runs on primary hosts and is checkpointed by a checkpointer comprised of a kernel-mode checkpointer module and one or more user-space interceptors providing barrier synchronization, checkpointing thread, resource flushing, and an application virtualization space. Checkpoints may be written to storage and the application restored from said stored checkpoint at a later time. Checkpointing is transparent to the application and requires no modification to the application, operating system, networking stack or libraries. In an alternate embodiment the kernel-mode checkpointer is built into the kernel.

    摘要: A variation of a method for tracking locations of residents within an assisted-care facility includes accessing pressure data recorded by wearable devices at known locations within the assisted-care facility; correlating the pressure data with known locations within the assisted-care facility to generate a map of pressure data at various locations within the assisted-care facility; accessing a first pressure value recorded by a first wearable device assigned to a first resident of the assisted-care facility at approximately the first time and representing a local pressure proximal the first wearable device at a first time; estimating a first location of the first wearable device within the assisted-care facility at approximately the first time based on alignment between the first pressure value and pressure data represented in the map; and recording the first location and a first resident identifier of the first resident assigned to the first wearable device to a database.
