Abstract
A system and method for using algorithms and acoustic input to control, monitor, annotate, and configure a wearable patch that monitors physiological signals. The method comprises the receiving a transmission at a wearable device wherein the transmission can identify a mode of operation, an annotation to the data in the device, a request for data from the device, a modification of the configuration of parameters, and signals in the device.
Claims20
A wearable health monitor comprising:
- a processor in operative communication with a non-transitory storage medium;
- at least one biometric sensor configured to measure at least one biometric signal, the at least one sensor being in operative communication with said processor;
- and at least one audio source in operative communication with said processor,
- wherein the wearable health monitor is configured to store biometric data from said at least one biometric sensor,
- wherein the wearable health monitor is further configured to store a contextual record of events comprising predetermined keywords uttered by a patient, picked up by the at least one audio source, and recognized as keywords by the wearable health monitor, those keywords being descriptive of a physical or mental condition affecting the patient,
- wherein the utterance of a predetermined keyword is configured to trigger the keyword and biometric data to be written to the contextual record of events, and
- wherein the contextual record of events includes timestamp data specifically identifying a time at which a predetermined keyword was uttered as well as the time biometric data was measured, allowing for the correlation of biometric data and predetermined keywords.
