    Abstract: Content-based navigation of an electronic device includes receiving supplemental content to an electronic book. The supplemental content is created separately from the electronic book. The content-based navigation also includes associating an identifier of the electronic book with the supplemental content, storing the supplemental content with the identifier in a storage device, and creating an index to the supplemental content that is searchable by the identifier of the electronic book. The content-based navigation further includes providing end user devices with access to the supplemental content in the storage device via the index.

    Abstract: A method and system for accumulating geospatial location data and biomedical data for an individual at a number of locations during his/her travels is provided. A device 110 (e.g. a mobile phone, PDA etc.) having at least a memory 116 and a communications module 114, receives at least one location signal (e.g. GPS) with the communications module, stores geospatial data obtained from the location signal with a time stamp in memory, receives a plurality of biomedical signals over time from at least one sensor 150 with the communications module, stores biomedical data from the received biomedical signal with a time stamp in memory, and repeats receiving at least one location signal and storing geospatial data from the at least one location signal in different geographic locations. Location data correlated with measured physiological data, along with supplemental data (e.g. health organisation reports, epidemic alerts) is used to aid diagnosis for the individual if a medical condition arises. Data may be displayed on a map.
