Methods, systems, and devices for content delivery are described. A device may receive biometric data associated with a user from a wearable device. The device may determine that a biometric parameter of a set of biometric parameters associated with the biometric data satisfies a threshold during an occasion. The device may select media content from a set of media content for recommending to the user. Each respective media content of the set of media content may be scored based on a respective effectiveness associated with each respective media content for controlling a value of the biometric parameter. The selecting may be triggered based on the biometric parameter satisfying the threshold. The media content may be selected based on a score associated with the media content. The device may output the media content via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the apparatus during the occasion.

The invention provides a body-worn system that continuously measures pulse oximetry and blood pressure, along with motion, posture, and activity level, from an ambulatory patient. The system features an oximetry probe that comfortably clips to the base of the patient's thumb, thereby freeing up their fingers for conventional activities in a hospital, such as reading and eating. The probe secures to the thumb and measures time-dependent signals corresponding to LEDs operating near 660 and 905 nm. Analog versions of these signals pass through a low-profile cable to a wrist-worn transceiver that encloses a processing unit. Also within the wrist-worn transceiver is an accelerometer, a wireless system that sends information through a network to a remote receiver, e.g. a computer located in a central nursing station.
