  • Publication number: 20250044883
    Abstract: A system including a stylus with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and force/touch/temperature sensors on its sides and/or tip, in some instances in conjunction with force/touch sensors on a tablet computing device or sensors on a watch, is disclosed that obtains measurements such as stylus grip pressure, tilt and touch location, stylus tip pressure, stylus motion, and user temperature. In some instances, these measurements can be obtained through everyday use of the stylus, while in other instances, the user can be prompted to perform certain tasks (e.g., draw specific contours) to assist in data collection. With these measurements, a user profile and baseline profile data can be established and tracked over time, which can include parameters such as tremor amplitude and grip strength. Deviations from baseline profile data can be computed, and when those deviations exceed a threshold, an alert or other wellness insights can be presented to the user.
