Headband integrated monitoring unit using an accelerometer

摘要

A monitoring device (1) worn by a user comprising a heart rate sensor (3) for delivering a sensor cardiovascular (CV) signal, a signal processing device (5) for correcting artifacts due to user's motion in said sensor CV signal, and a motion sensor (4) delivering a motion reference signal; the motion sensor (4) having a main function for determining and outputting a signal representing the level of activity of the user, and an auxiliary function for controlling said signal processing device (5). The monitoring device may be disposed in a headband (2) worn on the user's head. The monitoring device may comprise the monitoring of other physiological signals such as SPO 2 .
