  • Publication number: 20260096731
    Abstract: Systems and methods for biometric analysis are described. In some embodiments, a system may include a wearable device configured to be worn on a portion of an arm of a user while the user sleeps. The wearable device may include a plurality of electrodes disposed on an interior of the wearable device and configured to obtain biopotential signals from the user's arm. The system also may include a processor configured to analyze biopotential data derived from the biopotential signals to determine one or more characteristics relating to sleep of the user, and generate an output based on the one or more characteristics relating to the sleep of the user.

  • Patent number: 12572214
    Abstract: Systems and methods for biometric analysis are described. In some embodiments, a system may include a wearable device comprising a plurality of electrodes, a gesture control processing circuit, and an ECG processing circuit. A common electrode may be configured to provide signals to both the gesture control processing circuit and the ECG processing circuit. While the system is in a gesture control state, the system may be configured to obtain first biopotential signals using at least the common electrode and convert the first biopotential signals to first biopotential data for use in gesture control. While the system is in the ECG state, the system may be configured to obtain second biopotential signals using at least the common electrode and convert the second biopotential signals to ECG data for use in analyzing a user's heart rhythms.

  • Patent number: 12502110
    Abstract: Systems and methods for gesture control are described. In some embodiments, a system for assessing a physiological state of a user. The system may include the wearable device comprising one or more electrodes configured to be disposed adjacent to an external surface of the skin portion. A first timestamp may be determined. The first timestamp may indicate a first time at which a stimulus is presented to the user. A second timestamp indicating a second time at which the biopotential signals indicate an intention by the user to perform a responsive action may be determined. Based at least on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, determine a subject response time for the user. The subject response time may be compared to a baseline response time for the user to generate an assessment of a physiological state of the user.
