Abstract
An intraoral multisensor device includes a mouthpiece, a plurality of sensors at least one of attached to or integrated with the mouthpiece, and a data communications unit configured to receive signals from the plurality of sensors. The mouthpiece has a form to permit stable arrangement at least partially within a person's mouth such that it can remain for hands-free sensing of a plurality of biological parameters. Also, an intraoral multisensor system includes an intraoral multisensor device and a data processing device adapted to communicate with the intraoral multisensor device.
Claims26
An intraoral multisensor device, comprising:
- a mouthpiece;
- a plurality of sensors adjacent to and integrated with said mouthpiece;
- and
- a data communications unit configured to receive signals from said plurality of sensors,
- wherein said mouthpiece has a form to permit stable arrangement at least partially within a person's mouth such that it can remain for sensing of a plurality of biological parameters, said mouthpiece including a first intraoral portion, wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is adjacent to and integrated with the intraoral portion and positioned within a person intraorally when the device is in use by the person, and a second extraoral portion for placement extraorally when the device is in use by the person, wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is adjacent to and integrated with the extraoral portion and configured for use extraorally;
- and
- wherein the mouthpiece defines a first chamber for inhalation and a second chamber for exhalation,
- wherein one or more of said plurality of sensors is positioned within said inhalation chamber and one or more of said plurality of sensors is positioned within said exhalation chamber, wherein the first chamber is separate from the second chamber.

An intraoral multisensor system, comprising:
- an intraoral multisensor device;
- and
- a data processing device adapted to communicate with said intraoral multisensor device,
- wherein said intraoral multisensor device comprises:
- a mouthpiece, said mouthpiece including a first intraoral portion and a second extraoral portion extraorally when the device is in use by the person;
- a first plurality of sensors adjacent to and integrated with said mouthpiece, the first plurality of sensors being adjacent to and integrated with the first intraoral portion of the mouthpiece and positioned within a person intraorally when the device is in use by the person to sense one or more properties internal to the person and a second plurality of sensors being adjacent to and integrated with the second extraoral portion of the mouthpiece and positioned extraorally when the device is in use by the person to sense one or more properties external to a person;
- a first inhalation sensor chamber and a second exhalation sensor chamber separate from the second exhalation sensor chamber positioned within said mouthpiece, and at least one of said plurality of sensors positioned within said first inhalation sensor chamber and at least one of said plurality of sensors positioned within said second exhalation sensor chamber, wherein intraoral and extraoral environments are in fluid communication via said first inhalation and second exhalation sensor chambers;
- and
- a data communications unit configured to receive signals from said plurality of sensors and transmit data from the data communications unit.
6 more elements
An intraoral multisensor system, comprising:
- an intraoral multisensor device having a body;
- and
- a data processing device incorporated into said body and adapted to communicate with said intraoral multisensor device,
- wherein said intraoral multisensor device comprises:
- a mouthpiece, said mouthpiece including a first intraoral portion and a second extraoral portion;
- a plurality of sensors adjacent to and integrated with said mouthpiece, at least one of the plurality of sensors being adjacent to and integrated with the mouthpiece and positioned within a person intraorally when the device is in use by the person to sense one or more properties from both internal to and external to a person;
- and
- a first inhalation sensor chamber and a second exhalation sensor chamber separate from said first inhalation sensor chamber positioned within said mouthpiece;
- wherein intraoral and extraoral environments are in fluid communication via said first and second exhalation sensor chambers, wherein the first inhalation sensor chamber includes a first one-way valve and the second exhalation sensor chamber includes a second one-way valve, the first one-way valve being oriented opposite the second one-way valve, wherein a first sensor of said plurality of sensors is positioned within the first inhalation sensor chamber and a second sensor of said plurality of sensors is positioned within said second exhalation sensor chamber, wherein said first sensor is in said first inhalation sensor chamber and upstream of said first one-way valve and said second sensor is in said second exhalation sensor chamber and upstream of said second one-way valve;
- a data communications unit incorporated into the body and separable from said mouthpiece configured to receive signals from said plurality of sensors and transmit data from the data communications unit.
