Abstract
A method and system for measuring personal health, the method comprising detecting a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave, the PPG wave generated based on a combination of infra-red and red lights, transmitting the PPG wave to a server, the server processing the PPG wave to infer biometric statistics based on machine learned correlations generated from a training set of PPG waves and biometric data, receiving the biometric statistics from the server, and generating display data based on the biometric statistics.

A method, in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, for measuring personal health, the method comprising:
- detecting a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave by a personal healthcare device, the PPG waves are generated by infra-red, green or red lights emitted from the personal healthcare device, wherein the personal health care device comprises:
- an inline sensor (IS) comprising a first Near Field Infrared (NIR) Light Emitting Diode (LED), a second NIR LED, and a photodiode with wavelength sensitivity range between 900 nm to 1700 nm, the photodiode located on the IS between the first and second NIR LEDs and configured relative thereto to receive reflected light from the first and second NIR LEDs, and
- a first and second angular mirror, each configured to reflect light from either of the first and second NIR LEDs onto a user's skin and for the user's skin to reflect light back to the photodiode, wherein the personal healthcare device generates the detected PPG wave based on the light reflected off of the user's skin;
- transmitting the detected PPG wave to a server, wherein the server processes the PPG wave and infers therefrom biometric data based on machine learned correlations generated from a training set of PPG waves and biometric data;
- receiving the biometric data from the server;
- and
- generating an interface screen comprising the biometric data.
A wearable device for measuring personal health comprising:
- a personal healthcare device configured to detect a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave based on a combination of infra-red and red lights generated from the personal healthcare device, the personal health care device comprising:
- an inline sensor (IS) comprising a first Near Field Infrared (NIR) Light Emitting Diode (LED), a second NIR LED, and a photodiode with wavelength sensitivity range between 900 nm to 1700 nm, the photodiode located on the IS between the first and second NIR LEDs and configured relative thereto to receive reflected light from the first and second NIR LEDs;
- a first and second angular mirror, each configured to reflect light from either of the first and second NIR LEDs onto a user's skin and for the user's skin to reflect light back to the photodiode, wherein the personal healthcare device generates the detected PPG wave based on the light reflected off of the user's skin;
- a network communication module configured to transmit the detected PPG wave to a server, wherein the server processes the PPG wave and infers therefrom biometric data based on machine learned correlations generated from a training set of PPG waves and biometric data;
- a processor configured to generate the biometric data;
- and
- an interface screen comprising the biometric data.
Non-transitory computer-readable media comprising program code that when executed by a programmable processor causes execution of a method for measuring personal health, the computer-readable media comprising:
- computer program code for detecting a photoplethysmograph (PPG) wave by a personal healthcare device, the PPG waves are generated by infra-red, green or red lights emitted from the personal healthcare device, wherein the personal health care device comprises:
- an inline sensor (IS) comprising a first Near Field Infrared (NIR) Light Emitting Diode (LED), a second NIR LED, and a photodiode with wavelength sensitivity range between 900 nm to 1700 nm, the photodiode located on the IS between the first and second NIR LEDs and configured relative thereto to receive reflected light from the first and second NIR LEDs, and
- a first and second angular mirror, each configured to reflect light from either of the first and second NIR LEDs onto a user's skin and for the user's skin to reflect light back to the photodiode, wherein the personal healthcare device generates the detected PPG wave based on the light reflected off of the user's skin;
- computer program code for transmitting the detected PPG wave to a server, wherein the server processes the PPG wave and infers therefrom biometric data based on machine learned correlations generated from a training set of PPG waves and biometric data;
- computer program code for receiving the biometric data from the server;
- and
- computer program code for generating an interface screen comprising the biometric data.
