Abstract:
A wearable sensor device, system and method are provided for monitoring the attention, workload or other physical status of the wearer of the wearable sensor device. At least one biometric index value is formulated for a characteristic status from the processed sensor data of the sensors of the device and the biometric index value may also incorporate prior test data and questionnaire response information in the calculated value. The system may include any number of wearable devices that have sensors, a processor and a communications link as well as a remote computer and a non-wearable device with an interface. The status of the wearer of a wearable sensor device can be monitored with the simple display of the biometric index value as well as the data from the individual sensors.
Abstract:
Smart wearable devices and methods are disclosed for providing feedback for optimal placement of the wearable device. This includes systems and methods to lock or unlock a wearable device and/or notify external wearable/non-wearable devices depending on the states of the wearer by sending notification or providing feedback if mispositioned or repositioned on the wearer. A system and method are disclosed for providing a user indication of proper placement of a wearable device by providing feedback based on acquired bio-signal quality. In one embodiment, bio-signal quality is acquired by comparing a computed signal to noise ratio to that of an expected signal.
Abstract:
Networked smart wearable devices and methods for dynamic power management of multiple wearable devices and the optimization of the network sensor data load through network control of the sensors in each wearable device is provided.
