  • Publication number: 20240122550
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wearable device are described. A method may include acquiring first physiological data from a user during a first measurement interval using an optical channel of a wearable device, the optical channel comprising a light-emitting component and a photodetector, where the first physiological data is acquired using a first measurement profile. The method may include acquiring second physiological data from the user during a second measurement interval using the optical channel, the second measurement interval subsequent to the first measurement interval, where the second physiological data is acquired using a second measurement profile.

  • Patent number: 11925441
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for determining blood pressure based on morphological features of pulses are described. A system may include a wearable device that uses one or more light emitting components configured to emit light, one or more photodetectors configured to receive light, and a controller that couples the one or more light emitting components to the one or more photodetectors. The wearable device may transmit lights associated with multiple wavelengths, and acquire photoplethysmogram (PPG) data that includes one or more PPG waveforms associated with the respective wavelengths. The system may determine respective sets of morphological features associated with each of the PPG waveforms based on systolic and diastolic peaks corresponding to the heartbeat of the user. The system may determine one or more blood pressure metrics for the user based at least in part on a comparison of the respective sets of morphological features.

  • Publication number: 20230277074
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for heart rate detection are described. A method may include receiving physiological data associated with the user, where the physiological data may include motion data and temperature data collected throughout a time interval via a wearable device associated with the user. The method may include determining a condition quality metric associated with the time interval based on the received motion data and temperature data. The condition quality metric may indicate a relative quality of the physiological data collected throughout the time interval for determination of heart rate measurements. The method may include sampling photoplethysmogram (PPG) data for the user via the wearable device based on the condition quality metric satisfying a threshold metric value and a timer satisfying a first threshold time duration. The method may include determining a heart rate measurement for the user based at least in part on the sampled PPG data.

  • Publication number: 20230114269
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for blood oxygen measurement are described. A method may include receiving, via a wearable device, a first photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal for a user acquired during a time interval using a first set of PPG sensors, and receiving a second PPG signal for the user acquired during the time interval using a second set of PPG sensors that are different from the first set of PPG sensors. The method may include comparing the first PPG signal and the second PPG signal, and determining one or more blood oxygen saturation metrics for the user during the time interval based on the comparison of the first PPG signal and the second PPG signal. The method may include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) to display an indication of the one or more blood oxygen saturation metrics.

  • Publication number: 20230113714
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for optical signal measurement are described. A wearable electronic device may activate a first combination of optical sensors, the first combination of optical sensors including a set of transmitter sensors and a set of receiver sensors. In some cases, one or more optical sensor of the first combination of optical sensors may be positioned under a protrusion on an inner surface of the wearable electronic device. The device may measure, at the set of receiver sensors at a first time, one or more signals from the set of transmitter sensors, determine a signal quality metric associated with the one or more signals, and select a second combination of optical sensors for use at a second time based on the signal quality metric.

  • Publication number: 20110125902
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided with the apparatus being arranged to control access to one or more resources in a computing device by one or more clients in said computing device. The apparatus further arranged to receive a request for access to a said resource from a first client, determine whether or not said resource is being used by a second client, and, if said resource is being used, remove said resource from said second client and provide said resource to said first client. The method and computer program correspond to the apparatus.
