Abstract
A computing system makes a first preliminary determination that a user of an ear-wearable device is experiencing a potential medical event based on first signals generated by first sensors. The computing system may make a second preliminary determination that the user is experiencing the potential medical event based on a user response captured by the ear-wearable device. The computing system may further determine that the user is experiencing the potential medical event based on both the first preliminary determination and the second preliminary determination. In response to determining that the user is experiencing the potential medical event, the computing system may cause the ear-wearable device to send a wireless communication request to a plurality of companion devices. Furthermore, in response to the wireless communication request being accepted by a companion device, the computing system may send user data via a communication link.
