摘要 |
A wearable ring (e.g., on a digit of a hand and/or a toe of a foot) may include sensors for generating motion signals in response to a user's body motion, for generating force signals in response to force exerted by a body portion, for generating biometric signals indicative of biometric activity in the body (e.g., heart rate, respiration, arousal), and for generating location signals based on user location. The sensor signals may be processed to monitor parameters that may positively or negatively impact a state of sleep of the user (e.g., time of sleep, quality of sleep, hydration, inflammation, contraction, fatigue, TRHR, accelerometry, arousal of the SNS, etc.). Data derived from the processed signals may be presented (e.g., visually, sound, email, text message, tactile, webpage, etc.) to the user in a format (e.g., reports, notifications, coaching, avoidance, mood) intended to instruct/encourage the user to improve their state of sleep. |

1. A wearable device, comprising:
a ring operative to be donned on a digit of a hand or on a toe of a foot, the ring including
one or more radios operative for wireless communication using one or more wireless protocols,pressure sensors disposed on the ring and operative to generate first signals indicative of pressure applied by body tissue coupled with the pressure sensors when the ring is donned,a motion sensor operative to generate a motion signal generated by motion of the ring when donned, andbiometric sensors operative to generate biometric signals when the ring is donned, the biometric signals including an arousal signal indicative of arousal in a sympathetic nervous system (SNS); and a processor operative to analyze the first signals and the motion signal to determine motion induced error in the first signals caused by the motion of the ring when donned, to subtract out the motion induced error, if present in the first signals, using the motion signal, and to generate a state signal indicative of an inflammation (I) state, a contraction (C) state, or a nominal (N) state of the body tissue, the processor operative to analyze the biometric signals and the state signal, to communicate information relevant to a sleep state when the motion signal, the arousal signal or both indicate sleep and the state signal indicates the I state, the C state, or the N state. |
