US 12,144,616 B2 · Eyewear with blood sugar detection

Abstract

An eyewear device, method for use with an eyewear device, and a non-transient computer readable medium for detecting blood sugar levels are disclosed. The eyewear device has a frame including a first rim configured to support a first lens, a second rim configured to support a second lens, and a bridge connecting the first rim to the second rim. The bridge is configured to receive a nose of a user when the eyewear device is worn by the user. Blood sugar levels are detected by monitoring behavior of a pupil of an eye of the user with a sensor, comparing the monitored behavior with known blood sugar level behaviors, identifying a match responsive to the comparison between the monitored behavior and one of the known blood sugar level behaviors corresponding to a particular blood sugar level, and selecting the particular blood sugar level as a blood sugar level of the user.

Dependent claims

An eyewear device including:

a frame supporting a display;
a camera supported by the eyewear device and configured to detect a pupil of an eye of a user;
an illuminator configured to emit a flash of light towards the pupil, wherein the illuminator is separate from the camera;
a memory;
a processor having access to the camera and the memory;
and
programming in the memory, wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the eyewear device to perform functions, including functions to:
monitor behavior of the pupil with the camera and the illuminator;
compare the monitored behavior with known blood sugar level behaviors, each known blood sugar level behavior corresponding to a different blood sugar level;
identify a match responsive to the comparison between the monitored behavior and one of the known blood sugar level behaviors corresponding to a particular blood sugar level;
select the particular blood sugar level as a blood sugar level of the user;
compare the blood sugar level to a threshold;
and
present on the display an alert to the user if the blood sugar level crosses the threshold.
