Abstract

In some embodiments, a wearable device detects a trigger event. The trigger event indicates a type of measurement to take. Based on the trigger event, the wearable device selects an instruction audio message corresponding to the type of measurement to be taken. The instruction audio message includes instructions for how to conduct the type of measurement. The wearable device connects to an appropriate measuring apparatus based on the type of measurement to be taken and the instruction audio message. The wearable device plays the instruction audio message to a patient of the wearable device. The wearable device receives measurements from the appropriate measuring apparatus.

6 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more sequences of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes a wearable device to perform operations comprising: detecting, by the wearable device, a trigger event, wherein the trigger event indicates a type of measurement to take, wherein detecting the trigger event comprises: determining a location of a user wearing the wearable device based on beacon signals received from beacons in communication range of the wearable device, and inferring a perceived state of the user based on the determined location of the user and motions detected by one or more sensors of the wearable device; based on the trigger event, selecting, by the wearable device, an instruction audio message corresponding to the type of measurement to be taken, the instruction audio message comprising instructions for how to conduct the type of measurement; connecting, by the wearable device, to an appropriate measuring apparatus based on the type of measurement to be taken and the instruction audio message by identifying the appropriate measuring apparatus from among a plurality of possible measuring apparatuses and automatically pairing with the measuring apparatus using pre-configured identifiers, codes, or passwords to establish the connection without further user intervention; playing, by the wearable device, the instruction audio message to a patient of the wearable device; and receiving, by the wearable device, measurements from the appropriate measuring apparatus.
7 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising: causing, by the wearable device, a visual or physical notification that indicates the instruction audio message is to be played.
8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein detecting, by the wearable device, the trigger event comprises: receiving a prompt from the patient associated with the wearable device to record the type of measurement.
9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein detecting, by the wearable device, the trigger event comprises: analyzing, via one or more sensors of the wearable device, patient activity data to detect the trigger event.
10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein playing, by the wearable device, the instruction audio message to the patient of the wearable device comprises: constructing the instruction audio message from a plurality of segments of pre-recorded audio.
11 . A system comprising: a processor; and a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform operations comprising: detecting a trigger event, wherein the trigger event indicates a type of measurement to take, wherein detecting the trigger event comprises: determining a location of a user associated with the system based on beacon signals received from beacons in communication range of the system, and inferring a perceived state of the user based on the determined location of the user and motions detected by one or more sensors of the system; based on the trigger event, selecting an instruction audio message corresponding to the type of measurement to be taken, the instruction audio message comprising instructions for how to conduct the type of measurement; connecting to an appropriate measuring apparatus based on the type of measurement to be taken and the instruction audio message by identifying the appropriate measuring apparatus from among a plurality of possible measuring apparatuses and automatically pairing with the measuring apparatus using pre-configured identifiers, codes, or passwords to establish the connection without further user intervention; playing the instruction audio message to a patient associated with the system; and receiving measurements from the appropriate measuring apparatus.
