Abstract
An intraoral multisensor device includes a mouthpiece, a plurality of sensors at least one of attached to or integrated with the mouthpiece, and a data communications unit configured to receive signals from the plurality of sensors. The mouthpiece has a form to permit stable arrangement at least partially within a person's mouth such that it can remain for hands-free sensing of a plurality of biological parameters. Also, an intraoral multisensor system includes an intraoral multisensor device and a data processing device adapted to communicate with the intraoral multisensor device.
Claims28
An intraoral multisensor device, comprising:
- a mouthpiece;
- a plurality of sensors at least one of attached to or integrated with said mouthpiece;
- and
- a data communications unit configured to receive signals from said plurality of sensors,
- wherein said mouthpiece has a form to permit stable arrangement at least partially within a person's mouth such that it can remain for hands-free sensing of a plurality of biological parameters, said mouthpiece including a first internal portion adapted for being held between a facial surface of the person's teeth and a second external portion for placement against lips of the person's mouth.
An intraoral multisensor system, comprising:
- an intraoral multisensor device;
- and
- a data processing device adapted to communicate with said intraoral multisensor device, wherein said intraoral multisensor device comprises:
- a mouthpiece;
- a plurality of sensors at least one of attached to or integrated with said mouthpiece;
- and
- a data communications unit configured to receive signals from said plurality of sensors,
- wherein said mouthpiece has a form to permit stable arrangement at least partially within a person's mouth such that it can remain for hands-free sensing of a plurality of biological parameters and to provide data for said plurality of biological parameters to said data processing device, said mouthpiece including a first internal portion adapted for being held between a facial surface of the person's teeth and a second external portion for placement against lips of the person's mouth.
