Abstract
A method and system for measuring personal health, the method comprising detecting a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave, the PPG wave generated based on a combination of infra-red and red lights, transmitting the PPG wave to a server, the server processing the PPG wave to infer biometric statistics based on machine learned correlations generated from a training set of PPG waves and biometric data, receiving the biometric statistics from the server, and generating display data based on the biometric statistics.
Claims20
A method, in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, for measuring personal health, the method comprising:
- detecting a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave by a personal healthcare device, the PPG waves are generated by lights emitted from the personal healthcare device, wherein the personal health care device comprises:
- an inline sensor (IS) comprising a first Light Emitting Diode (LED), a second LED, and a photodiode, the photodiode located on the IS between the first and second LEDs and configured relative thereto to receive reflected light from the first and second LEDs, and
- a first and second angular mirror, each configured to reflect light toward a user's skin and for the user's skin to reflect light back to the photodiode, wherein light from the first LED is directed to the user's skin via the first angular mirror, and light from the second LED is directed to the user's skin via the second angular mirror, such that the light from the first LED is reflected back off of blood glucose molecules to the photodiode at a first predetermined angle and light from the second LED is reflected back off of blood glucose molecules to the photodiode at a second predetermined angle, wherein the personal healthcare device generates the detected PPG wave based on the light reflected off of the user's skin;
- transmitting the detected PPG wave to a server, wherein the server processes the PPG wave and infers therefrom biometric data;
- receiving the biometric data from the server;
- and
- generating an interface screen comprising the biometric data.
