    Spatial and/or temporal triggers may be established so that when actuated, one or more notifications such as reminders may be provided to one or more users. These triggers may be established manually, e.g., by a user operating a user interface, automatically, e.g., by scraping calendar and/or email data to ascertain and/or predict various aspects of upcoming appointments such as start times, duration, date, location, and so forth, or a combination of the two. Spatial triggers may be actuated based on a determination that a user is, or will be, at a particular location. Temporal triggers may be actuated at particular points in time, e.g., at the scheduled time of an event or at some predetermined time interval before or after the event. Using one or more triggers, it is possible to provide notifications to a user at some predetermined time interval prior to a scheduled event, so that the user has sufficient time to make appropriate arrangements, such as buying tickets, making a reservation, scheduling a rendezvous with a friend, and so forth. A calendar system may also be interfaced with to manually or automatically establish triggers

    The disclosed subject matter relates to computer implemented methods for associating locations with healthcare events. In one aspect, a method includes receiving location data from a location-aware client device. The location data includes latitude and longitude information. The method further includes determining, based on the received location data, a routine travel pattern of a user associated with the location-aware client device. The method further includes detecting an anomaly in the routine travel pattern. The method further includes detecting a healthcare event. The healthcare event can be a visit to a healthcare facility and/or a healthcare transaction. The method further includes correlating the anomaly in the routine travel pattern of the user with the healthcare event. The method further includes associating one or more healthcare event locations to the healthcare event based on the correlation

    An event preparation reminder system reminds a user to prepare for an upcoming event. The system analyzes data associated with the user from multiple sources. Further, the system identifies an event from the data associated with the user. Then, the system identifies information that is relevant to the identified event.
