Wearable ring-type sensor devices for monitoring health and wellness conditions

An apparatus comprising:

• a ring body including an opening formed therethrough structured to receive a finger of a user therein;
• a flexible power source positioned within the ring body, the power source configured for supplying power to at least one other component of the apparatus;
• an electronic computer processor programmed for:
• identifying when to collect at least one of unprocessed and/or processed biometric data of the user,
• processing one or more signals detected by multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of the apparatus, the signals indicative of a physiological condition of the user, and
• storing at least a portion of the unprocessed biometric data and/or the processed biometric data in a memory storage medium positioned in the ring body;
• a light sensor system connected to the ring body, the light sensor system comprising:
• multiple medical grade LEDs, wherein each LED is associated with a predetermined light wavelength range, and wherein the multiple LEDs are positioned adjacent to each other in a first half of the ring body, and wherein the multiple LEDs comprise at least one green LED, at least one red LED, and at least one infrared LED,
• a reflection photodetector array configured for light detection in a reflection mode at a first defined angle with respect to the multiple LEDs for detecting at least a portion of the light originating from the multiple LEDs and reflected from at least one main artery of the finger to the reflection photodetector array, wherein the first defined angle is uniquely defined in response to a size of the finger to optimize a path of the reflected light,
• a transmission photodetector array configured for light detection in a transmission mode at a second defined angle with respect to the multiple LEDs for detecting at least a portion of the light originating from the multiple LEDs and transmitted through at least one main artery of the finger to the transmission photodetector array, wherein the second defined angle is uniquely defined in response to the finger size to optimize a path of the transmitted light, and
• the light sensor system programmed for communicating signals indicative of light detected by the photodetectors to the processor;
• a dual communication system positioned in the ring body, the dual communication system comprising:
• a low energy Bluetooth (BLE) component positioned in the ring body, the BLE component configured for facilitating communicating at least a portion of the processed data and/or the unprocessed data from the ring body to a BLE-enabled receiver, and
• a hub configured with a mesh network protocol for managing multiple devices wherein the mesh network protocol is configured to use an antenna positioned in the ring body for communicating with a wireless network for transferring at least a portion of the processed data and/or the unprocessed data to at least one external computer system;
• and
• a data communication module positioned in the ring body, the data communication module programmed for:
• combining data associated with the reflection photodetector array and data associated with the transmission photodetector array in at least one data storage medium of the ring body, and
• communicating at least a portion of the unprocessed data and/or the processed data in the ring body to at least one external computer-based device programmed to display a dashboard user interface screen including at least one representation of at least a portion of the unprocessed data and/or the processed data comprising at least one waveform generated in response to a combination of both reflectance data and transmittance data of the unprocessed data and/or the processed data.
