Patent number: 10695004Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for using one or more light sources and associated photodetectors to determine different physiological parameters of a subject based on the subject's activity state. A processor may, for example, be configured to determine, based at least in part on data received from an accelerometer at a first time, that a first physiological parameter of the subject is to be determined, to cause the light source(s) to operate in a first manner and process signals from the photodetector(s) to determine the first physiological parameter, to determine, based at least in part on data received from the accelerometer at a second time, that a second physiological parameter of the subject is to be determined, and to cause the light source(s) to operate in a second manner and process signals from the photodetector(s) to determine the second physiological parameter.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: LumiraDX UK, Ltd.Inventors: Paul J. Gaudet, Thomas J. Quinlan, III, Jerry Zhang, Norbert Ohlenbusch, Thomas P. Blackadar, David P. Monahan
