[0004] Wearable devices form a special sub-class of ambulatory monitoring devices. As a
group, these have the added advantage that more continuous data can be collected and data can be
collected in the subject’s more natural environment. Holter monitors for ECG and EEG monitoring are
among the first and most frequently used wearable devices. Current devices are limited, however, in
that they are strictly data acquisition devices. Data is typically retrieved and analyzed post recording
3
session. When the devices are wirelessly enabled, they are also in the field of wireless sensor networks
(WSNs). WSNs are comprised of one or more sensor nodes and a system controller. Sensor nodes
include a computing platform with wireless communication capabilities and one or more sensor devices.
The system controller provides a data sync point for the collection and extraction of data, System
configuration capabilities, and may include an interface for the end user of the wireless sensor network.
The system controller may be referred to as a personal server, network coordinator, or personal area
network (PAN) coordinator. The system controller may provide visual, audible or other signals to the
user in response to certain events. Sanctity of doctor- patient relationship has not been compromised,
primarily due to real time consultations. Diagnostic competencies of medical professionals transmitted
far across, has made life easier revealing ameliorated vistas of healthcare amenities. User does not have
to bother about cues & appointments & can acquire services from the best in the business.

8in / 173cm tall, and a current weight of 75.0kg, by the processor of the computing device 108. The
user 112 can exemplarily enter one or more relevant information on the computing device 108 through
an input device (touch screen, keyboard) to compute a level of BMI
[00061] The system 100 can also be implemented as a decentralized ledger. The functional
units of architecture 200 can also be alternatively executed as, but not limited to example illustrated
herein. For example, Firstly, each received body vital parameters from the one or more sensors can be
optionally split into one or more individual information (e.g., a lab results document can contain several
16
types of blood analyses, a set of images can be split into individual images, etc.). Aggregation (of the
same type of data such as glycemic control or blood pressure control). Given a finite set of healthrelated categories, the information (or the records if no split is performed) can be grouped by their
respective categories. Example categories include blood analyses, MRI images, medical reports,
medical prescriptions, family history, and health habits. The splitting can be performed based on a
metadata (data within data) of the information, UMLS based annotations, or by trained categorizers.
[00062] In some embodiments, clustering methods may be used to group the information.
Within each group, the information may be further grouped into Subclasses (e.g., for lab results into
glycemic controls, lipid controls, or medical prescriptions into prescriptions of amoxicillin, metoprolol,
etc.). In each group and where possible, the acts, are sorted by timeline. Optionally, free text based
medical reports can be parsed and searched for medical concepts and related numerical entities extracted
(e.g., keeping only statistics, or extreme values). This includes filtering the records to identify the most
salient information. Human can be known to absorb a lot of visual information in a very short time
frame (50% of the cerebral cortex is for vision). To assist a practitioner/ medical professional, presenting
the information can be graphically rather than textually allows the healthcare provider to absorb the
information quickly. Information graphics (e.g., graphical displays, plots, charts) can thus be used to
show statistics or evolution of these values over time. Similarly, for grouped acts, clickable visual icons
may be based on corresponding act types (e.g., a red drop icon for blood test results). Optionally, if
reference values can be available, the microprocessor can highlight values that are outside these
reference values, as per tabulations 2 and 3. The table 2 can comprise one or more conditions (normal,
fever, hypothermia), in cell (1) associated with the health of the user 112 with the corresponding
reference values of the temperature, in cell (2), respectively. Similarly, table 3 illustrates one or more
ages of the user 112, in cell (3) with a corresponding heart rate in BPM, in cell (4), respectively.
