Adaptive respiratory condition assessment can include capturing signals generated by sensors of a portable device positioned to sense a user's body. The sensors can generate the signals in response to sensor-detected movements of the user's body measured along multiple axes and corresponding to lung activity in the user's body during respiratory cycles. A preferred axis of measurement can be selected using signal processing performed by a signal processor embedded in the portable device. Waveforms generated from signals corresponding to signals generated in response to movements of the user's body measured along the preferred axis can be filtered for extracting biomarkers from the waveforms using the signal processor. The one or more biomarkers extracted correspond to the lung activity. Based on the biomarkers, a respiratory condition of the user can be determined. A notification based on the respiratory condition as determined can be generated and conveyed with the portable device.

Aspects of the invention pertain to preserving the privacy of users in on-line systems while also enabling verification that the users are who they purport to be. Confidential personal information may be communicated from a user to a trusted third party via a web-based application or other service. However, the personal information is encrypted so that the application or service is unable to access it. The trusted third party accesses the personal information and uses it to verify that a user ID such as an email address is associated with a particular user. This information is provided to the web-based application or service to certify the identity of the user. As a result, the application or server verifies to other users that the certified user is who he/she purports to be.
