Abstract:
A system, method and computer readable media automatically highlights an unhealthy condition of a viewer. A set-top-box operatively connects to a network and a television display. The set-top-box is adapted to output a program to a viewer watching the television display. The set-top-box operatively connects through a wireless protocol to one or more wearable health monitoring devices that monitor one or more health readings associated with the viewer. The set-top-box outputs an alert to the viewer during the program if a health reading falls within a dangerous range. Advantageously, the alert is delivered through an EPG and may comprise pausing/stopping the program, and/or highlighting the alert on the television display for the viewer's safety.
