There is provided a method of locating one or more users in an emergency, comprising the steps of, at a server: detecting a state of emergency; and receiving location data from at least one computing device associated with a user upon detection of the state of emergency.

Systems and methods for emergency event reporting and emergency notification are provided herein. An example method includes monitoring a location of one or more devices of a plurality of devices, selecting an environmental safety condition for the one or more devices using the location, and selecting a device behavior for the one or more devices, the device behavior including a physical response produced by the one or more devices that is based on the environmental safety condition and the location.

A data collection system collects and stores physiological data from an ambulatory patient at a high resolution and/or a high data rate (“more detailed data”) and sends a low-resolution and/or downsampled version of the data (“less detailed data”) to a remote server via a wireless network. The server automatically analyzes the less detailed data to detect an anomaly, such as an arrhythmia. A two-tiered analysis scheme is used, where the first tier is more sensitive and less specific than the second tier. If the more sensitive analysis detects or suspects the anomaly, the server signals the data collector to send more detailed data that corresponds to a time period associated with the anomaly. The more specific second tier analyses the more detailed data to verify the anomaly. The server may also store the received data and make it available to a user, such as via a graphical or tabular display.

A disaster preparation system may include a system controller. The system controller may include a device processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps: receiving location data from a personal electronic device of a user; receiving forecast data regarding a predicted disaster; making a determination of a preparatory action to be executed on behalf of the user, based on the location data and the forecast data; and executing the preparatory action at a predetermined time relative to the predicted time of occurrence of the predicted disaster.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide an environmental probe configured to be at least partially inserted into the ground at a location and to provide defensible space monitoring and maintenance for a home or other structure. The environmental probe may include one or more environmental sensors configured to perform various environmental measurements to generate environmental measurement data. The environmental probe (e.g., a processor of the environmental probe) may compare the environmental measurement data to one or more thresholds to determine an alert state associated with the location. The environmental probe may include one or more wireless interfaces configured to enable communication with a remote device, such as a smart hub device or other environmental probes. The environmental probe may transmit an indicator of the alert state to the remote device to enable performance of one or more operations based on the alert state.

An earthquake monitoring system includes a first monitor and a computer system. The first monitor is configured to photograph at least one reference point disposed on a first floor slab of a building to generate a first initial image and a first image stream. The first monitor is disposed on a second floor slab of the building. The computer system is configured to process the first initial image and the first image stream, to obtain a first interlayer relative displacement vector between the first floor and the second floor according to the first image stream and a rotation angle of the first monitor, and output a warning signal according to the first interlayer relative displacement vector.

The disclosed wearable device systems include several features for alerting and guiding persons who are approaching or near to potentially hazardous or high-risk conditions in their nearby environment. Sensor data from wearable devices (also referred to herein as “wearables”) are used to determine the presence of various unsafe environmental conditions and phenomenon, including dangerous terrain or other unusual conditions. The wearable would be used to warn a person, for example via auditory or haptic-based feedback, if the person is about to encounter an unsafe condition. In particular, the proposed systems can be of great benefit to the visually impaired, those persons with physical disabilities, or persons otherwise vulnerable to particular environmental conditions.
