Abstract
A biometric handcuff device is disclosed, which identifies medical emergencies for those who are detained by police or security. The biometric handcuff device comprises a pair of law enforcement handcuffs that include a biometric sleeve inside the cuffs. The sleeve is constructed as a rubber insert that permanently stays in place within the cuffs. The biometric sleeve allows officers to track the breathing, blood pressure, and pulse of a handcuffed individual. The measurements taken may be observed remotely by police or medical personnel.
Claims20
A biometric handcuff device that provides a user with a means to track biometrics of a handcuffed user, the biometric handcuff device comprising:
- a housing sleeve;
- wherein the housing sleeve is secured to a pair of handcuffs;
- and
- further wherein the housing sleeve comprises a plurality of sensors, a processor, a transceiver/receiver, and a memory to track biometrics of a handcuffed user.
A biometric handcuff device that provides a user with a means to track biometrics of a handcuffed user, the biometric handcuff device comprising:
- a housing sleeve with an on/off button;
- wherein the pair of handcuffs comprise one cuff portion secured to another cuff portion via a connection portion, wherein the housing sleeve is secured to an interior of one of the cuff portions such that it makes contact with a user's wrists while the pair of handcuffs are in a locked position;
- wherein the housing sleeve comprises a plurality of sensors, a processor, a transceiver/receiver, and a memory to track biometrics of a handcuffed user;
- wherein the plurality of sensors are positioned, such that they protrude through the housing sleeve to contact a user's wrist;
- wherein the plurality of sensors include but are not limited to, a blood pressure sensor;
- an SpO2 sensor;
- an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor;
- an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor;
- a respiration sensor;
- and a heart rate sensor;
- wherein the processor calculates a user's biometrics by inputting data from the plurality of sensors into corresponding algorithms, which are then sent via the transceiver/receiver to send instructions to, receive data from, and process outputs for the plurality of sensors;
- and
- further wherein the housing sleeve comprises a wireless communications module to pair a smart device or computer to the biometric handcuff device, and wherein the paired smart device or computer remotely displays the user's biometrics.
A method of identifying medical emergencies for those detained in handcuffs, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a biometric handcuff device comprising a pair of handcuffs with a biometric sleeve;
- securing the biometric sleeve to an inside of the handcuffs;
- pairing the biometric sleeve with a computer or smart device;
- securing the pair of handcuffs around a user's wrists;
- and
- tracking the biometrics, such as breathing, blood pressure and pulse of a handcuffed user.
