Abstract
A device for detecting physiological parameters is used to detect a degree of user hypoxemia in response to flight conditions; degree of hypoxemia may be used automatically to modify actions by a training device such as a reduced oxygen breathing device or centrifuge and generate feedback or modifications to training profiles for future use. Machine learning processes may be combined with sensor activity to discover relationships between maneuvers, environmental conditions, physiological parameters, and degrees of impairment to develop optimal flight or training plans.
Claims20
A device for training pilots using physiological sensor feedback for flight circumstances that cause hypoxemia, the device comprising:
- a housing configured to be mounted to an exterior body surface of a user;
- at least a physiological sensor attached to the housing and configured to detect at least a physiological parameter associated with hypoxemia;
- and
- a training and feedback processor in communication with the at least a physiological sensor, the training and feedback processor designed and configured to:
- detect at least a flight condition having a causative association with hypoxemia;
- measure, using the at least a physiological sensor, at least a physiological parameter associated with hypoxemia;
- determine, by the training and feedback processor, and based on the at least a physiological parameter, a degree of pilot hypoxemia;
- determine a training goal associated with hypoxemia;
- and
- generate a pilot-specific flight guideline based upon the degree of pilot hypoxemia and the training goal associated with hypoxemia;
- and
- a user signaling device in communication with the training and feedback processor, the user signaling device configured to indicate the degree of pilot hypoxemia to at least a user.
A method of training pilots using physiological sensor feedback for flight circumstances that cause hypoxemia, the method comprising:
- mounting a device for physiological sensor feedback to a user, wherein the device further comprises a housing, at least a physiological sensor attached to the housing and configured to detect at least a physiological parameter associated with hypoxemia, and a training and feedback processor in communication with the at least a physiological sensor;
- detecting, by the training and feedback processor, at least a flight condition having a causative association with hypoxemia;
- measuring, using the at least a physiological sensor at least a physiological parameter associated with hypoxemia;
- determining, by the training and feedback processor, and based on the at least a physiological parameter, a degree of pilot hypoxemia;
- determining, by the training and feedback processor, a training goal associated with hypoxemia;
- generating a pilot-specific flight guideline based upon the degree of pilot hypoxemia and the training goal associated with hypoxemia;
- and
- indicating, using a user signaling device, the degree of pilot hypoxemia to at least a user.
