Health monitoring

Abstract

Technical solutions are described for monitoring health of a user by a healthcare system. An example computer-implemented method includes accessing a current image of the user. The computer-implemented method also includes determining a healthcare routine for the user. The computer-implemented method also includes generating a modified image of the user, where the modified image includes a predicted effect of the healthcare routine. The computer-implemented method also includes displaying, for viewing by the user, the modified image, and information about the healthcare routine.

         10 . The computer implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the healthcare sensor is a wearable device that measures physical activity of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The computer implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the sensor data comprises a weight of food consumed by the user and an image of the food consumed by the user. 
     
     
         12 . A system for monitoring a health of a user, the system comprising:
 a communication interface;   a memory; and   a processor coupled with the memory and the communication interface, wherein the processor is configured to:
 access a current image of the user; 
 generate a healthcare routine for the user; 
 generate a modified image of the user, wherein the modified image includes a predicted effect of the healthcare routine; and 
 display, for viewing by the user, the modified image and information about the healthcare routine. 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein, the healthcare routine comprises an exercise routine, and wherein the processor is further configured to:
 determine an exercise-ability limit of the user by analyzing a health record of the user; and   generate the exercise routine for the user based on the exercise-ability limit of the user.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein, the healthcare routine comprises an exercise routine, and wherein the processor is further configured to:
 determine a geographic location of the user;   identify a geographic characteristic of the geographic location; and   generate the exercise routine for the user based on the geographic characteristic of the geographic location of the user.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein generation of the healthcare routine comprises an identification of a parking location that facilitates the user to take at least a predetermined number of steps from the parking location. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein generation of the modified image comprises prediction of a change in weight of the user based on the healthcare routine.
