  • Patent number: 10157530
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for determining a personalized gas level exposure are generally described herein. A method may include receiving, at a wearable device, a plurality of gas level measurements for a gas level, determining, using the plurality of gas level measurements, a five-minute average gas level, in response to determining that the five-minute average gas level exceeds an instantaneous exposure threshold, issuing a dangerous exposure alert at the wearable device, determining, from the plurality of gas level measurements, a rate of change for the gas level, and in response to determining that the rate of change indicates the gas level is decreasing, disabling the dangerous exposure alert.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170177815
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a culturally relevant wearable device that includes a carbon monoxide detector to detect carbon monoxide, a light emitting diode (LED), a memory for storing data; and a processor. The processor is configured to determine that a carbon monoxide (CO) level detected by the carbon monoxide detector exceeds a threshold level; and activate the LED based on the determination that the CO level detected by the CO detector exceeds the threshold level. The wearable device also includes a culturally relevant ornamental housing, the ornamental housing comprising a housing for the wearable device. The wearable device can also include a speaker to provide audible notifications about CO levels, maternity schedules, vaccination schedules, therapy schedules, and disease management schedules.
