The keeper's note

Adjusting audio/visual device based on health/wellness data (biosensing wearable).

Abstract

A process receives, with a receiver, health and wellness data of a user that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content. Further, the process receives, with the receiver, health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct from the consumption of the media content. In addition, the process aggregates, with a processor, the health and wellness data of the user that is sensed and the health and wellness data of the user that is determined by the health care provider into an aggregated health and wellness data model. The process also determines, with the processor, one or more optimal audio/visual device settings based on the aggregated health and wellness data model.

Background

BACKGROUND1. Field

This disclosure generally relates to the field of audio/visual (“A/V”) devices. More particularly, the disclosure relates to adjustments to A/V device user preferences based on health and wellness data.2. General Background

Even though use of an increasing number of technology-based devices (e.g., televisions, smart phones, tablet devices, etc.) has provided numerous benefits, many of these devices also pose certain health concerns to users. For instance, users may suffer from nausea, eyestrain, headaches, motion sickness, etc. when consuming A/V content. Users often do not know the cause of such adverse effects (i.e., A/V content consumption) until after the media content has been consumed; even then, many users typically guess as to the cause of their discomfort. As a result, increased usage of conventional A/V devices may lead to a corresponding increase in adverse health effects.SUMMARY

In one aspect, a computer program product comprises a non-transitory computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon. The computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to receive, with a receiver, health and wellness data of a user that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content. Further, the computer is caused to receive, with the receiver, health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct

Claims

1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to: receive, with a receiver, health and wellness data of a user that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content; receive, with the receiver, health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct from the consumption of the media content; aggregate, with a processor, the health and wellness data of the user that is sensed and the health and wellness data of the user that is determined by the health care provider into an aggregated health and wellness data model; determine, with the processor, one or more optimal audio/visual device settings based on the aggregated health and wellness data model; and send, with the processor, the one or more optimal audio/visual device settings to an audio/visual device so that the audio/visual device adjusts one or more audio/visual device settings based on the one or more optimal audio/visual device settings. 12. A method comprising: receiving, with a receiver, health and wellness data of a user that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content; receiving, with the receiver, health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct from the consumption of the media content; aggregating, with a processor, the health and wellness data of the user that is sensed and the health and wellness data of the user that is determined by the health care provider into an aggregated health and wellness data model; determining, with the processor, one or more optimal audio/visual device settings based on the aggregated health and wellness data model; and sending, with the processor, the one or more optimal audio/visual device settings to an audio/visual device so that the audio/visual device adjusts one or more audio/visual device settings based on the one or more optimal audio/visual device settings. 13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to: receive, at an audio/visual device from a server, one or more optimal audio/visual device settings that are determined by the server based on an aggregated health and wellness data model, the aggregated health and wellness data model comprising data that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content at the audio/visual device in addition to health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct from the consumption of the media content; adjust, at the audio/visual device, a user profile of the user based on the one or more optimal audio/visual device settings; and provide, at the audio/visual device, additional media content to the user based on the adjusted user profile.
