Flashing Indicator of Swimmer's Health

A health status sensor assembly configured to monitor vitals of a swimmer, the health status sensor assembly comprising:

• a waterproof housing configured to be positioned proximate to a temporal artery of the swimmer;
• a temperature sensor operably coupled to the waterproof housing and configured to detect a water temperature, the temperature sensor being further configured to provide a temperature sensor output signal;
• a pulse oximeter sensor operably coupled to the waterproof housing and configured to evaluate conditions in the temporal artery of the swimmer and to generate a pulse-ox signal in response thereto;
• a pressure sensor operably coupled to the processor and configured to detect a change in pressure, the pressure sensor being further configured to provide a pressure sensor output signal;
• and
• a processor in the waterproof housing and operably coupled to the pulse oximeter sensor, the temperature sensor, and the pressure sensor, wherein the processor includes control logic configured to:
• receive the pulse-ox signal from the pulse oximeter sensor, the temperature sensor output signal from the temperature sensor, and the pressure sensor output signal from the pressure sensor,
• determine a heartbeat rate, a blood oxygen saturation level, a core body temperature, or combinations thereof from the pulse-ox signal, determine an underwater depth in relation to the detected change in pressure,
• generate an output signal that is based on the determined heartbeat rate, blood oxygen saturation level, the core body temperature, the underwater depth, the water temperature or a combination thereof, and
• transmit the output signal to an indicator
