Abstract
The apparatus presented herein may be used for inhibiting or preventing spread of airborne pathogens while providing immediate, continuous and remote patient vital monitoring and diagnosis, without requiring medical staff supervision. In some embodiments, a mask and earpiece is provided that is configured to measure body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels and respiratory rate.
Claims36
An apparatus comprising:
- a respiratory mask having a gasket configured to form a seal against skin around a nose and a mouth of a user, the mask having a breath sensor, at least one opening, and a filter disposed in the at least one opening;
- a sensing device comprising a temperature sensor, a blood oxygen saturation sensor, and a heart rate sensor, the sensing device configured to attach to an external body part of the user and externally from the mask;
- and
- an electronics housing disposed on the mask, the electronics housing comprising a power source and a processor in electrical communication with the breath sensor, the temperature sensor, the blood oxygen saturation sensor, and the heart rate sensor,
- wherein the electronics housing comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving breathing rate data from the breath sensor;
- receiving temperature data from the temperature sensor;
- receiving blood oxygen saturation data from the blood oxygen saturation sensor;
- receiving heart rate data from the heart rate sensor;
- and
- transmitting the breathing rate data, temperature data, blood oxygen saturation data, and heart rate data to an external device.
