Personal physiological monitor

摘要

An improved personal physiologic monitor continuously monitors changes in galvanic skin resistance, temperature or both in order to detect for example the onset of a hypoglycemic state in a diabetic. Measurements are enacted over brief periodic intervals to conserve power. A temperature reference is automatically established and periodically corrected to accommodate slowly changing non-symptomatic skin temperature variations, whereas an alarm indicia is generated if the peripheral skin temperature drops a predetermined amount below the reference value.
