A non-invasive, wireless, portable device applicable to the finger in order to reduce the risk of the sudden infant death syndrome and to reduce the risk of apnea, slower heart rate, and heart arrest in all age groups. The device is placed tightly on the distal end of a user's finger. As it is placed on the finger, this device may be inside a fabric cap attached to a glove of different sizes. This device measures blood oxygen saturation and heart rate through a sensor that is preferably a pulse oximeter. When any of these parameters falls below certain user-predetermined thresholds, an electric discharge is delivered to stimulate the user's reaction and a local and/or remote alarm is fired. In certain applications, the device is adequate to make the sleeping user react, and in others to prevent the user from falling asleep. |
