Abstract
A Flex Force Smart Glove with Photoplethysmography provides a wearable health technology for patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD to aid in continuous blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiration rate (RR) monitoring addressing and correcting racial biases of conventional devices by intelligently accounting for variations in skin pigmentation and thickness. Equipped with environmental sensors to detect PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter, health and environmental monitoring are merged to provide a comprehensive solution to both individual and collective health challenges.
Claims8
A wearable photoplethysmography system comprising:
- a first PPG sensor disposed to be worn on a patient's finger;
- a second PPG sensor disposed to be work on the patient's wrist;
- and
- a processor configured to continuously estimate RR and SpO2 using data from the first and second sensors;
- wherein the processor is further configured to adjust for a patient's skin pigmentation and thickness.
