Patent number: 11992340Abstract: A wellness evaluation system may determine, based on data generated by a first set of sensors powered by one or more batteries of one or more ear-wearable devices, that a user of the one or more ear-wearable devices is currently in an environment that includes human-directed communication signals. If so, a second set of sensors may be activated such that the one or more batteries provides an increased amount of power to the second set of sensors. Furthermore, the wellness evaluation system may determine based on data generated by the second set of sensors, whether the user has satisfied a target level of a wellness measure. If the user has not satisfied the target level of the wellness measure, the wellness evaluation system may perform an action to encourage the user to perform one or more activities to increase an achieved level of the wellness measure.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Starkey Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Jingjing Xu, Justin Burwinkel, Kenneth Jensen, Jason Galster, Sahar Akram, Adriana Goyette
