Abstract

Exemplary methods are provided for real-time assessment of a potential risk of an infectious disease, including receiving a predetermined acceptable range for an aspect of a human user's physiological measurement data, receiving a predetermined acceptable answer for a survey response question, securely receiving an aspect of the human user's physiological measurement data, determining if the aspect of the human user's physiological measurement data is within the predetermined acceptable range, if the aspect of the human user's physiological measurement data is within the predetermined acceptable range, transmitting to the human user a survey comprising a question, if the aspect of the human user's physiological measurement data is not within the predetermined acceptable range, transmitting an active alert and not providing the human user with the survey comprising a question, and if the human user fails to transmit an acceptable answer to the survey comprising the question, transmitting an active alert.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a real-time assessment of a potential risk of an infectious disease without face-to-face interaction between a human user and a human healthcare professional, using a mobile device application communicatively coupled to a hardware processor. The method securely receives an aspect of a human user's physiological measurement data and compares it to a predetermined acceptable range, and also receives a predetermined acceptable answer for a survey question associated with the assessment.

If the physiological measurement data is within the predetermined acceptable range, the system transmits to the human user a survey comprising a question, and the application displays information based on receiving the predetermined acceptable answer. If the physiological measurement data is not within the predetermined acceptable range, the method transmits an active alert comprising a warning of a potential risk of an infectious disease based on multivariate analyses.

The invention further presents, by the application on the mobile device, a display that comprises a unique scannable code functioning as an electronically transferable access pass to an event or venue. The electronically transferable access pass is limited in transferability to other human users who have provided physiological measurement data within the predetermined acceptable range and who have further provided the predetermined acceptable answer to the survey question.

Claims Coverage

The document contains two independent claims, both centered on conditional real-time infectious-disease risk assessment based on securely received physiological measurement data and survey answers, and on generating a mobile unique scannable code access pass limited to users meeting both criteria. Across the independent claims, the core inventive features include predetermined acceptable ranges and answers, conditional transmission of a survey versus an active alert based on multivariate analyses, and presenting a unique scannable code access pass with limited transferability.

Across both independent claims, the inventive coverage centers on securely receiving physiological measurement data and comparing it to a predetermined acceptable range, receiving a predetermined acceptable survey answer, transmitting either a survey or an active alert warning based on multivariate analyses, and presenting a unique scannable code that functions as an electronically transferable access pass limited to users meeting both physiological and survey acceptability criteria.
