Abstract
Technologies and implementations for wearable healthcare devices are generally disclosed. An example method performed by a wrist-wearable device includes: detecting, by a sensor, a physiological parameter of a user; determining, by a processor based on the physiological parameter, that the user is experiencing atrial fibrillation (AF); outputting, by a display, a visual signal indicating that the user is experiencing the AF; and transmitting, by a transceiver to a first external computing device, a first wireless signal indicating that the user experienced the AF.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a detection circuit configured to detect an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a user;
- an oxygen saturation sensor configured to detect an oxygen saturation level of the user's blood;
- a heart rate sensor configured to detect a heart rate of the user;
- a display configured to visually output a first signal indicating the oxygen saturation level and a second signal indicating the heart rate;
- a wrist-wearable device comprising:
- a housing configured to connect to a wrist band;
- and
- a transceiver configured to transmit a third signal to an external device, the third signal indicating a condition of the user;
- an accelerometer configured to detect an acceleration of the wrist-wearable device;
- and
- a location service circuit configured to identify a location of the wrist-wearable device.
A wrist-wearable device comprising:
- a detection circuit configured to detect an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a user of the wrist-wearable device;
- an oxygen saturation sensor configured to detect the oxygen saturation level of the user's blood;
- a heart rate sensor configured to detect a heart rate of the user;
- a display configured to visually output a signal indicating the ECG, the oxygen saturation level, and the heart rate.
A method performed by a wrist-wearable device, the method comprising:
- detecting an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a user;
- detecting an oxygenation level of the user's blood;
- determining a condition of the user based on the ECG and the oxygenation level;
- and
- transmitting or displaying a signal indicating the condition of the user.
