Wearable Personal Computer and Healthcare Devices

摘要

Embodiments described herein may fully integrate personal computing and health care into a wearable waistband having a length sensor, a pressure sensor, and a motion sensor; or into a wearable “mesh” having an array of sound sensors, which will create convenient and seamless access to a personal computer and biofeedback of the wearer. Such biofeedback from the waistband may include determining respiration rate, waist length, food quantity of a meal, sitting or sleep time, and frequency of visits to the bathroom. Such biofeedback from the mesh or array may include determining whether there is or has been damage or other issues of the heart, lungs, bones, joints, jaw, throat, arteries, digestive tract, and the like. Such biofeedback may also detect whether whether a person has an allergic reaction at a location, is drinking (and what volume of fluid), is walking, is jogging or is running.

主权项

1. A wearable computer device capable of being worn around a person's waist, the device comprising:
a computer processor disposed in a buckle; a flexible data bus electronically coupled to the processor and extending along a belt, the belt coupled to the buckle; a plurality of sensors disposed along the belt and electronically coupled to the data bus, the sensors configured to sense a biometric environment of a person wearing the device and output an output signal based on the sensed environment; the data bus to communicate the output signals from the sensors to the processor; an alarm coupled to the bus, the alarm capable of notifying a person of an alert; wherein the processor includes circuitry to receive the output signals and send an alert signal to the alarm if an output signal is greater than a threshold or includes a profile.
