COMFORTABLE AND PERSONALIZED MONITORING DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PHYSIOLOGICAL HEALTH RISKS

摘要

The physiological monitoring device, system, and method disclosed herein is convenient and comfortable to use in the detection of physiological health risks. Embodiments may be coupled to a user's body at one instead of at multiple locations. Also, embodiments may be calibrated to the individual users to minimize the occurrence of false alarms while remaining sensitive enough to detect true physiological risk events. Physiological parameters that are monitored may include of heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration, perspiration, skin temperature, difference between skin and ambient temperatures, motoric activity, and electrical activity in muscles.

主权项

1. A non-invasive device for monitoring physiological conditions, the device comprising:
a platform configured for coupling to a limb of a monitored person; one or more non-invasive sensors mounted on the platform, the sensors operative to generate data based on physiological parameters of the monitored person; and a data path through which the sensor data flows to processing circuitry that determines whether to activate an alarm that the monitored person's health is at risk; wherein the determination of the processing circuitry is based on the sensor data and on additional data including data based on physiological parameters of people other than the monitored person, the additional data being updated repeatedly; and wherein the sensor data is provided only by the one or more non-invasive sensors mounted on the platform.
