Embodiments include methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for prioritizing communications. Some embodiments may include receiving, by a communication device, a plurality of messages from a server. The communication device may apply a first level ordering to each of the plurality of messages to determine a set of role-based categories, a second level ordering to each of the plurality of messages to assign each of the plurality of messages to one of the role-based categories, and a third level ordering to each of the plurality of messages to rank the plurality of messages within the assigned role-based category based on an assigned priority, a message type, and a timestamp of each of the plurality of messages. The communication device may generate an ordered presentation of the plurality of messages based on the determined rank of the plurality of messages within the assigned role-based category.

Prioritizing communications on a communication device

Embodiments include methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for voice-activated message filtering rule generation. Some embodiments may include receiving a spoken command from a communication device, parsing the spoken command to identify an element of the spoken command, generating a message rule based on the identified element of the spoken command, determining whether the generated message rule has been met, and sending a message to the communication device in response to determining that the message rule has been met.

Message filtering based on dynamic voice-activated rules

Embodiments include methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for managing care provider coverage in a medical communication system. Some embodiments may include receiving from a first communication device associated with a first user a coverage request defining a coverage period and requesting that a second user associated with a second communication device provide care coverage for the first user, sending a notification of the coverage request to the second communication device including the coverage period and requesting agreement to provide care coverage for the first user, receiving from the second communication device an acceptance of the coverage request, and directing to the second communication device a message sent to the first communication device during the coverage period in response to receiving the acceptance of the coverage request.

Care provider coverage filter for communication devices

A microphone enclosure for reducing the intensity of sound waves that reach a microphone is presented. The enclosure may be a solid mass with a cavity, designed so that most of the microphone is surrounded by the solid mass when the microphone is inserted into the cavity. The solid mass is dense enough to reduce much of the sound waves that are first mechanically and then acoustically coupled with the microphone. The microphone may be inserted into the cavity so that a sound receiving section is exposed at the entrance of the cavity. Also, the microphone may not be inserted to the end of the cavity so that there is a space between the end of the cavity and the microphone. A hole may be located on the cavity sidewall so that sound can reach the microphone through this space. The sound receiving sections of the microphone are aligned with openings in the communications device.
