Abstract
A biometric wearable device is embodied in a smart watch or finger ring with radiowave or microwave energy emitters/transmitters and energy receivers to measure the level of a biometric parameter such as body oxygenation, hydration, or glucose level. The energy emitter/transmitter and the energy receiver can be parallel, nested, and/or comprise a two-dimensional array. The device can further comprise a split ring resonator located between the energy emitter/transmitter and the energy receiver.
Claims12
A biometric wearable device comprising:
- an arcuate band which is configured to span at least part of the circumference of a body member;
- a housing which is held on the body member by the arcuate band;
- an energy emitter on the housing;
- an energy receiver on the housing which is configured to receive energy from the energy emitter after that energy has passed through and/or been reflected from the body member, wherein a connector line is defined as a straight line between the energy emitter and the energy receiver;
- and;
- a split ring resonator between the energy emitter and the energy receiver, wherein a resonant frequency of the resonator is changed by a change in a permittivity of tissue or fluid in the body member, wherein compass coordinates are defined around the resonator so that the connector line intersects 270-degree and the 90-degree compass coordinates, and wherein there is a gap in the resonator at a 360-degree compass coordinate.
