  • Unobtrusive system and method for monitoring the physiological condition of a target user of a vehicle
    Patent number: 8078334
    Abstract: An unobtrusive system for monitoring the physiological condition of a target user of a vehicle including a wearable device affixed to the target user. A measurement subsystem is releasably coupled to the wearable device configured to measure a concentration of at least one analyte in the blood of the target user at one or more time increments. A proximity sensor is configured to detect the location of the wearable device. A vehicle control subsystem is responsive to the proximity sensor and the measurement subsystem and is configured to determine if the wearable device is proximate a predetermined location in the vehicle and configured to determine if the measured concentration of the at least one analyte exceeds a predetermined threshold concentration level, and based on such a determination, initiate one or more predetermined actions.
