Patent ID: 8690772

Claim:
An activation and control apparatus for coupling two complementarily activatable automated intervention systems for coverage events in at least one of medical diagnosis and therapy processes, the automated intervention systems being associated with a plurality of users, the automated intervention systems being activated by means of activation data from the activation and control apparatus, the activation and control apparatus comprising: a proxy trigger including first measuring apparatuses configured to detect first measurement parameters on the basis of at least one of a user-specific walking distance, a user-specific visual accuracy, and a user-specific sitting period, and configured to store the first measurement parameters in a lookup table in association with a user of the plurality of users, second measuring apparatuses configured to detect second measurement parameters on the basis of a user-specific communication ability, and to store the second measurement parameters in the lookup table in association with the user, the user-specific communication ability including at least one of aural, visual, and comprehension measurement parameters for the user, third measuring apparatuses configured to detect third measurement parameters on the basis of a user-specific ability to drive a motor vehicle, and to store the third measurement parameters in the lookup table in association with the user, fourth measuring apparatuses configured to detect fourth measurement parameters on the basis of the user-specific ability to lift oneself or stand independently, and to store the fourth measurement parameters in the lookup table in association with the user, and fifth measuring apparatuses configured to detect fifth measurement parameters on the basis of the user-specific ability to at least one of write and use a keypad-based input apparatus, and to store the fifth measurement parameters in the lookup table in association with the user; a filter module configured to generate appropriate activation parameters on the basis of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth measurement parameters in the lookup table and associated synchronized threshold values and to transmit the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth measurement parameters to the activation and control apparatus if at least one of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth measurement parameters exceeds an associated threshold value, at least one of the threshold values corresponding to cash-sum values associated with a service; means for generating the activation data on the basis of the activation parameters; and a clearing module configured to automatically obtain and pay for at least one service for the user, without user intervention, in response to one of the two complementarily activatable automated intervention systems being activated by the activation data.
