Abstract
Methods to prevent harm to athletes from overexertion, including inserting a dental appliance into a mouth of each monitored athlete, the dental appliance having sensors for monitoring parameters such as body temperature and hydration level of the athlete. Obtaining at a monitoring station wireless transmissions of current measurements from each of the dental appliances. Storing measurements along with a source of the measurements and a time associated with the measurements. Providing a notification when a monitored athlete is in danger from overexertion as indicated by a trend in the stored measurements.
Claims15
A method to prevent harm to athletes from overexertion, the method comprising:
- inserting a first dental appliance into a mouth of a first athlete, the dental appliance having sensors for monitoring body temperature and hydration level of the first athlete;
- inserting a second dental appliance into a mouth of a second athlete, the dental appliance having sensors for monitoring body temperature and hydration level of the second athlete;
- obtaining at a monitoring station wireless transmissions of current measurements from the first dental appliance and second dental appliance;
- storing measurements along with a source of the measurements and a time associated with the measurements;
- and
- providing a notification when the first athlete is in danger from overexertion as indicated by a trend in the stored measurements.
