  • Patent number: 10409226
    Abstract: A wearable device with an air quality sensor, the wearable device, comprising a housing enclosing an electronic board, a display arrangement, a battery, the housing lodging a cavity with an internal area, the cavity containing an air quality sensor in the internal area, the cavity being delimited by a cavity wall and by a membrane, the membrane having an inner wall oriented toward the cavity internal area and an outer wall opposed to the inner wall, the internal area of the cavity being in fluid communication with the ambient air through the membrane, the membrane being permeable to air and substantially not permeable to water.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170065185
    Abstract: Method to determine the arterial stiffness of an individual user (U) standing on a personal electronic scale having a top surface with at least three conductive pads on one of the left or right side of the scale, /a/—acquiring weight variations, and extracting therefrom a ballistocardiogram of the user's heart beat, /b/—acquiring impedance plethysmography signals across one of the foot of the user, and extracting therefrom a blood pulse signal at the foot, /c/—calculating a time delay (DT) between the heart beat and the blood pulse signal arriving at the foot, /d/—deducing therefrom a value of the arterial stiffness of the user
