Abstract
A multi-function thermostat for a building includes a communication interface and a processing circuit. The communications interface is configured to communicate with an emergency server and receive occupant health data from one or more health sensors configured to monitor an occupant of the building. The processing circuit is configured to determine a health metric associated with the occupant based on the occupant health data and cause the communications interface to send a distress message to the emergency server when the health metric associated with the occupant indicates a medical emergency.
