Patent Issued for Alert systems for senior living engagement and care support platforms (USPTO 11935651): State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company
2024 APR 04 (NewsRx) -- By a
Patent number 11935651 is assigned to
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “At least some conventional computer networks have enabled caregivers (e.g., family members, friends, and care service providers) associated with senior users to coordinate care for the senior user. However, conventional systems usually merely keep a schedule of the coordinated care, and may not provide additional functionality. Further, known systems may not facilitate senior engagement in their daily schedules, and may therefore not provide information on such engagement to caregivers. Known systems may have other drawbacks as well.”
In addition to the background information obtained for this patent, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent: “The present embodiments may relate to systems and methods for facilitating senior engagement in their daily schedules and coordinating care between caregivers of the senior. The system may include an engagement and care support computing device, one or more client devices, one or more third party servers, and/or one or more databases.
“In one aspect, an engagement and care support platform computer system for facilitating senior user engagement may be provided. The computer system may include at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor may be programmed to: (i) register a user through an application, wherein the user inputs personal and scheduling data into the application, (ii) register a caregiver associated with the user through the application, (iii) generate a senior profile based upon the user personal and scheduling data, (iv) build a daily interactive user interface that reflects the senior profile, (v) display the daily interactive user interface at a first client device associated with the user, (vi) cause the first client device to initiate a daily interaction prompt to the user, (vii) determine whether any user interaction was received at the first client device in response to the daily interaction prompt, and (viii) transmit a daily update message to a second client device associated with the caregiver, the daily update message including an indication of whether any user interaction was received at the first client device. The care coordination support platform computer system may include additional, less, or alternate functionality, including that discussed elsewhere herein.
“In another aspect, a computer-implemented method for facilitating senior user engagement may be provided. The computer-implemented method may be performed by an engagement and care support platform computer system including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The computer-implemented method may include: (i) registering a user through an application, wherein the user inputs personal and scheduling data into the application, (ii) registering a caregiver associated with the user through the application, (iii) generating a senior profile based upon the user personal and scheduling data, (iv) building a daily interactive user interface that reflects the senior profile, (v) displaying the daily interactive user interface at a first client device associated with the user, (vi) causing the first client device to initiate a daily interaction prompt to the user, (vii) determining whether any user interaction was received at the first client device in response to the daily interaction prompt, and/or (viii) transmitting a daily update message to a second client device associated with the caregiver, the daily update message including an indication of whether any user interaction was received at the first client device. The method may include additional, less, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.
“In yet another aspect, a non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon may be provided. When executed by an engagement and care support platform computer system including a processor in communication with a memory device, the computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to (i) register a user through an application, wherein the user inputs personal and scheduling data into the application, (ii) register a caregiver associated with the user through the application, (iii) generate a senior profile based upon the user personal and scheduling data, (iv) build a daily interactive user interface that reflects the senior profile, (v) display the daily interactive user interface at a first client device associated with the user, (vi) cause the first client device to initiate a daily interaction prompt to the user, (vii) determine whether any user interaction was received at the first client device in response to the daily interaction prompt, and (viii) transmit a daily update message to a second client device associated with the caregiver, the daily update message including an indication of whether any user interaction was received at the first client device.
“In a further aspect, a user computer device may be provided. The user computer device may include at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The user computer device may be in communication with at least a second computer device. The at least one processor of the user computer device being programmed to: (i) store user registration information for a user associated with the user computer device; (ii) store caregiver registration information for a caregiver associated with the user, wherein the caregiver registration information includes data for identifying the at least one second computer device; (iii) receive input from the user indicative of the user interacting with the user computer device for a first time within a predefined period of time; and/or (iv) in response to the user interaction, transmit a message to the at least one second computer device of the caregiver indicating that the user has interacted with the user computer device during the predefined period of time. The user computer device may include additional, less, or alternate functionality, including that discussed elsewhere herein.”
The claims supplied by the inventors are:
“1. An engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the ECSP computer device in communication with a first client device associated with a senior user and a second client device associated with a caregiver, the at least one processor of the ECSP computer device is programmed to: store user registration information for the senior user associated with the first client device; store caregiver registration information for a caregiver associated with the senior user, wherein the caregiver registration information includes data for identifying the second client device, wherein the caregiver is a member of a circle of care of the senior user; receive a plurality of telematics information from a vehicle associated with the senior user; determine that the senior user is driving the vehicle based upon the plurality of telematics information; determine a driving score for the senior user based upon the plurality of telematics information; compare the driving score to a plurality of driving scores to determine a trend; and transmit a message to the second client device of the caregiver indicating the trend of driving scores of the senior user.
