  • Publication number: 20120059230
    Abstract: The invention is a system for detecting, monitoring, and reporting an individual's physiological or contextual status. The system works deriving a physiological or contextual status parameter of an individual using the system. The derivation utilizes two sensed parameters of the individual. The system is able to present the derived parameter in relation to any other sensed parameters, entered information, life activities data, or other derived data.

  • Publication number: 20100286532
    Abstract: A monitor device and associated methodology are disclosed which provide a self contained, relatively small and continuously wearable package for the monitoring of heart related parameters, including ECG. The detection of heart related parameters is predicated on the location of inequipotential signals located within regions of the human body conventionally defined as equivalent for the purpose of detection of heart related electrical activity, such as on single limbs. Amplification, filtering and processing methods and apparatus are described in conjunction with analytical tools for beat detection and display.

  • Patent number: 7689437
    Abstract: A method for assisting an individual to monitor, control and modify certain aspects of the individual's physiological status according to a preset physiological status goal comprising establishing the goal according to certain preselected physiological parameters, affixing a physiological monitoring device in proximity to the body of the individual, generating data indicative of one or more measured parameters of the individual using said device, and using the one or more measured parameters to determine status information indicative of the relative degree of achievement of the individual's performance with relation to the physiological status goal and providing the status information to the individual. Alternatively, the method may comprise providing, to the individual, information indicative of a suggested change in the individual's performance to assist the individual in the achievement of the physiological status goal.

  • Publication number: 20090177068
    Abstract: Various methods and apparatuses for measuring a state parameter of an individual using signals based on one or more sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first set of signals is used in a first function to determine how a second set of signals is used in one or more second functions to predict the state parameter. In another embodiment, first and second functions are used where the state parameter or an indicator of the state parameter may be obtained from a relationship between the first function and the second function. The state parameter may, for example, include blood glucose levels, calories consumed or calories burned by the individual. Various methods for making such apparatuses are also disclosed.
