Medical Alert head wearable
Our medical alert head wearable, such as eyewear or earbud, supports the population of aging and disabled adults and their caregivers. Our technology enhances head wearable—a product that many people already use comfortably—to maintain the health and safety of users, increase their independence, and give their caregivers peace of mind. Examples of our patented technology include:
*
Activity monitor: Our head wearable tracks a user’s activity over time and provides alerts for any worrying trends, including an unexpectedly long absence in physical activity.
*
Heart rate monitor with wireless transceiver: Our head wearable with heart rate monitor allows users and their caregivers to track physical health and receive alerts if the heart begins to beat irregularly or heart rate goes out of healthy ranges, at all times of day or night, and whether at rest or during exercise.
*
Temperature sensor: Tracking vital signs is key to maintaining good health and spotting issues early. Our head wearable can track body temperature by using a clock to determine when the temperature sensor can take a stable reading. When the sensed temperature remains within certain thresholds over a preset period of time, the head wearable can beep to indicate to the user and caretaker that temperature data is ready to view.
*
lOW COST HEARING ENHANCEMENT: Our head wearable design comes with hearing enhancement. The enhancement in a normal looking earbud or eyewear can reduce the social stigma experienced by those who wear traditional hearing aids. Perfect for mild to moderate age-related hearing loss, they can be available over the counter, just like reading glasses. In one approach, the device works by amplifying sound waves at preset frequences, eliminating the need for sophisticated adjustments and expensive fittings.
*
Integrated camera: Our integrated camera allows users to capture images of any health concerns, like a strange skin rash or irregular mole. Our technology also allows users to annotate their images to add relevant detail, such as when the issue first arose and if there are other symptoms of note. Doctors can track their patients’ physical conditions remotely, and patients can keep up with their care easily.
*
Radiation sensor: A built-in radiation sensor can warn users before they receive excessive exposure. If a user is concerned about UV rays, the eyewear can track sun exposure and help the user reduce their risk of serious issues like cataracts and skin cancer.
*
Emotion sensor: Mental health is frequently overlooked but incredibly significant for disabled and elderly people. Our head wearable can measure emotional characteristics, including whether the wearer is calm or excited, happy or angry. Together with vital sign and location sensors, this data can provide a robust overall picture of the user’s wellbeing.
