Abstract: Disclosed herein are wrist-worn devices with a camera which enable a person to record images of food or environmental scenes without contorting their arm. Devices can allow a camera to be moved independently from the rest of the device. A camera can be on a flip-up display with features which decrease the chances of the display snagging on an object and breaking off. A camera can be on the rim of an enclosure held on the dorsal side of a wrist with a bifurcating band, so that the band does not block the camera's view.

Abstract: Wearable Ring or Band with Close-Fitting Spectroscopic Sensors A wearable ring or band can have spectroscopic sensors on its inner circumference. The ring or band can change: the angles at which light beams from sensors are transmitted; the radial locations of sensors around the inner circumference; and/or the distances between sensors and a person's body. The ring or band can also have an expandable and/or compressible chamber or layer on its inner circumference. The ring or band can also have a flexible, elastic, and/or articulated segment as part of its circumference.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for cardiac rhythm management including an implanted cardiac pacemaker and a biometric finger ring. This system ensures good oxygenation of a person's body extremities. The finger ring includes optical sensors which measure the person's blood oxygenation level. The operation of the implanted cardiac pacemaker is adjusted based on combined analysis of motion data from the pacemaker, motion data from the finger ring, and blood oxygenation level data from the biometric finger ring.

Abstract: A wearable brain activity monitor with electromagnetic sensors can be embodied in an ear-worn device. A first portion of the device can span a portion of the lateral perimeter of a person's ear and a second portion of the device can be inserted into the person's ear canal. In an example, the first portion can loop around 25% to 75% of the lateral perimeter of the person's ear.

Abstract: This invention is an article of clothing with electromyographic (EMG) sensors which measures body motion and/or muscle activity. This clothing can be a short-sleeve shirt or a pair of shorts, wherein the electromyographic (EMG) sensors are on the cuffs. The electromyographic (EMG) sensors can be modular; they can be removably attached to different locations in order to create a customized article of electromyographic clothing which optimally measures the muscle activity of a particular person or muscle activity during a particular sport. This clothing can also include bending-based motion sensors.

Abstract: A biometric wearable device (e.g. finger ring or smart watch) has optical sensors to measure body oxygenation level, hydration level, glucose level, heart rate, heart rate variability, and/or blood pressure. Light from light emitters is transmitted through body tissue and changes in the light are analyzed. In an example, the device can include body-facing protrusions where the light emitters and/or the light receivers are located.

Abstract: A biometric wearable device (e.g. finger ring or smart watch) has optical sensors to measure body oxygenation level, hydration level, glucose level, heart rate, heart rate variability, and/or blood pressure. Light from light emitters is transmitted through body tissue and changes in the light are analyzed. The angles and/or vectors along which the light is transmitted through body tissue can be automatically changed by the device in order to scan different tissue regions and/or different tissue depths.

Abstract: An electrode can comprise a plurality of flexible longitudinal electroconductive protrusions which deform when pressed against a person's head. Proximal ends of the protrusions are adjacent to each other and have a first degree of curvature in a pre-deformation configuration. Proximal ends of the protrusions are apart from each other and have a second degree of curvature in a post-deformation configuration. The proximal-divergence of the ends of the protrusions enables them to slide between strands of hair to enable good electrical communication with the surface of the person's head.

Abstract: A wearable device for recording biometric information from a person's brain can be embodied in a pair of smart headphones with electrodes or in a biauricular headset with electrodes. This wearable device can position a plurality of electrodes on a person's head at a subset of the following MCN electrode placement sites: CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4, CP5, CP6, CPz, FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5, FC6, FCz, O1, O2, Oz, P7, P8, PO7, PO8, TP7 and TP8.

Abstract: A person's food consumption can be automatically tracked by a finger ring or smart watch with a motion sensor and a camera on its ventral portion. The camera is activated to record images when the device is waved over food. The images are analyzed to identify food types and quantities. A system for tracking food consumption can include a finger ring with a camera which is worn on a person's dominant arm and a smart watch worn on the person's non-dominant arm, wherein images recorded by the camera are displayed by the smart watch.

Abstract: This invention is a head-worn device (e.g. headband, halo, or headset) with sensors (e.g. electrodes) which record brain activity. In an example, the device can be undulating with concave undulations which rest on the tops of a person's ears. In an example, the device can further comprise right side and left side ear prongs (e.g. arms, segments, or portions) which curve around the posterior and upper surfaces of a person's right and left ears.

Abstract: Motion recognition clothing is smart clothing which measures changes in a person's body configuration and motion. In an example, a combination of upper-body and lower-body motion recognition clothing can measure changes in full-body configuration and motion. Selected body joints are each spanned by a plurality of flexible energy pathways. Each flexible energy pathway is in communication with an energy emitter and an energy receiver. Body joint movements deform the energy pathways, this deformation changes energy transmission through the energy pathways, and changes in energy transmission are then analyzed to measure body configuration and motion.

Abstract: A wrist-worn device such as a smart watch or band has a plurality of displays with a first non-coplanar configuration and a second coplanar configuration. When a larger display area is not needed, then the device is changed into the more-compact first configuration. When a larger display area is needed, then the device is changed into the larger-size second configuration.

Abstract: A wearable device for measuring biometric parameters includes a circular or polygonal array of sets of light emitters and light receivers. Light transmitted through body tissue is received and analyzed to measure one or more biometric parameters such as oxygenation level, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, hydration level, and/or blood glucose level. Each set of light emitters includes light emitters which emit light of different colors. This device can also include one or more compressible opaque light barriers which surround light receivers.

Abstract: This invention is a smart ring with spectroscopic sensors. Changes in the spectrum of light which are caused by interaction with (e.g. reflection by or transmission through) matter are analyzed to get information about the composition of that matter. In an example, light emitters can direct light outward toward an environmental object to get information concerning the molecular composition of the object. In an example, light emitters can direct light inward toward the surface of a person's finger to measure one or more biometric parameters.

This method or system identifies the lagged effects of operating parameters of the one or more implanted medical devices on a person's biometric indicators and then adjusts the operating parameters of the one or more implanted medical devices to change the values of the biometric indicators in a desired direction and/or by a desired amount.

Abstract: This invention is Motion Recognition Clothing™ which measures the motion and/or configuration of a person's body using an energy-conducting mesh with a plurality of energy pathways. Energy input components direct energy into the pathways at a first set of locations. Energy sensors measure energy flow through the energy pathways from a second set of locations. As the person's body moves, the mesh stretches, elongates, and/or twists, which changes the flows of energy through pathways. These changes are then analyzed to estimate the motion and/or configuration of the person's body.
