Abstract
A monitoring device (20) and method (200) for monitoring the health of a user is disclosed herein. The monitoring device (20) is preferably a glove with an embedded optical sensor (30), a circuitry assembly (35) a display member (40) and a control component (43). The monitoring device (20) preferably displays the following information about the user: pulse rate; blood oxygenation levels; calories expended by the user of a pre-set time period; target zones of activity; time; distance traveled; and dynamic blood pressure.
Claims20
A method of monitoring a user's vital signs, the method comprising:
- generating a signal corresponding to the flow of blood through an artery of the user, the signal generated from an optical sensor connected to a body of a glove;
- generating heart rate data of the user and an oxygen saturation level data of the user from the signal generated by the optical sensor;
- processing the heart rate data and oxygen saturation level data of the user at a microcontroller disposed with the body of the glove for analysis of calories expended by the user and for display of a plurality of the user's vital signs;
- and
- displaying the calories expended by the user, the user's heart rate or the user's blood oxygen saturation level on a display member disposed on an exterior surface of the body of the glove which is controlled by the user using a control component extending from the body of the glove.
A monitoring device for monitoring the health of an user, the monitoring device comprising:
- a glove;
- means for measuring blood flow through an artery of a finger of the user, the measuring means connected to the glove;
- means for calculating calories expended by the user during a time period, the calculating means disposed on the glove;
- means for visually displaying the calories expended by the user, the visually displaying means attached to an exterior surface of the glove;
- and
- means for controlling the input information and the output of information displayed on the visually displaying means, the controlling means extending from the exterior surface of the glove.
A monitoring device for monitoring the health of a user, the monitoring device comprising:
- a glove;
- an optical sensor connected to the glove;
- a circuitry assembly embedded within the glove;
- a display member attached to an exterior surface of the glove;
- a control component extending from the exterior surface of the glove, the control component controlling the input of information and the output of information displayed on the display member.
