  • Publication number: 20240057925
    Abstract: A method for health monitoring is provided including at least one non-invasive wearable device capable of collecting and storing data, and external monitoring devices that displays and analyses the data for accurate monitoring and anomaly detection. The wearable devices are configured to collect low-latency PPG-derived bio signals and can utilize multiple devices for accuracy and continuity. The system may further include a dashboard that analyzes the information as well as displaying basic information such as number of beds (in-use, available), staff-to-patient ratio, etc. The data can be collected and accessed remotely and may be utilized before, during, and/or after a patient is dispatched from a clinical setting.

  • Patent number: 11488250
    Abstract: To participate in a health incentive program, a customer of a health-related business such as a health insurance company or medical group entity may use a physiological measurement device to report health-related activity to the business. However, a customer may report fraudulent activity to the business by allowing another party to use the physiological measurement device. In embodiments, an electronic device, a collection and validation server, and a physiological measurement device may execute methods to ensure that the user of the physiological measurement device has identified themselves properly to the business. In embodiments, the electronic device and the physiological measurement device may produce sets of physiological measurement data that are compared to determine that a user of the electronic device is the same as the user of the physiological measurement device. The electronic device may produce a set of physiological measurement data using video and image processing techniques.
