Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods for monitoring a sensor module mounted in a sensor platform, wherein the sensor platform includes an adhesive side and a pocket, wherein the pocket is designed to receive the sensor module, to facilitate sensing by the sensor module of physiological attributes, and to allow insertion and removal of the sensor device from the pocket.
Claims6
A method for monitoring an individual's autonomic nervous system (ANS), the method comprising:
- providing a sensor module, wherein the sensor module includes a cardiac sensor;
- mounting the sensor module in a sensor platform, wherein the sensor platform includes an adhesive side, a release sheet protecting the adhesive side and a pocket, wherein the pocket is designed to receive the sensor module, to facilitate sensing by the cardiac sensor of heart rate activity, and to allow insertion and removal of the sensor module from the pocket, removing the pocket adhesive release sheet and closing the pocket with the pocket adhesive;
- attaching the sensor platform to an individual;
- wherein attaching includes removing the sensor platform release sheet to expose the adhesive side and affixing the platform to the individual via the adhesive side;
- capturing the individual's heart rate activity data from the cardiac sensor and processing the heart rate activity data to capture a pattern of ANS activity during an experience of a stimulus and a pattern of ANS activity after an experience of a stimulus;
- characterizing variability, parasympathetic gain, or parasympathetic control of the captured heart rate activity;
- quantifying and characterizing oscillation of the captured heart rate activity and assessing autonomic tone, coherence, or entrainment;
- capturing movement data from a sensor and processing the movement data to deduce an effect of movement on the heart rate activity;
- assessing changes between the ANS pattern during the stimulus and the ANS pattern after the stimulus;
- and
- providing feedback.
