DETECTING AND COMMUNICATING HEALTH CONDITIONS

摘要

This disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods for detecting physiological parameters, and for communicating information related to the detected physiological parameters to the user, the user's caregiver, and medical personnel. For example, some systems described herein can be configured to detect a user's hypoglycemic event, and to thereafter alert the user, caregivers, and medical personnel to the occurrence of the hypoglycemic event.

主权项

1. A wearable physiological sensing device comprising:
a housing that is configured to be worn by a user such that a portion of the housing is in contact with a skin surface of the user; a perspiration sensor system disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to detect a level of perspiration on the skin surface of the user; a temperature sensor system disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to detect a temperature of the skin surface of the user; control circuitry disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to detect a hypoglycemic event of the user in response to receiving sensor information from the perspiration sensor system indicative of the level of perspiration on the skin surface of the user and from the temperature sensor system indicative of the temperature of the skin surface of the user; a user interface attached to the housing and configured to an output alarm when the control circuitry detects the hypoglycemic event of the user; and a wireless communication device disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more external devices.
