  • Patent number: 10911427
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and/or devices for reconfiguring a wearable device. The methods, systems, apparatuses, and/or devices may include a first biometric sensor configured to take a first physiological measurement of a user corresponding to a first set of parameters, and wherein the first set of parameters is a first frequency that the first biometric sensor takes the first physiological measurement; a second biometric sensor configured to take a second physiological measurement of the user; and a processing device configured to, in response to receiving the reconfiguration request, reconfigure the first device to: activate the second biometric sensor to take the second physiological measurement; or take the first physiological measurement of the user corresponding to a second set of parameters that are different than the first set of parameters, wherein the second set of parameters is a second frequency that the first biometric sensor takes the first physiological measurement.

  • Patent number: 10554648
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and/or devices for alerting a user of a change in a medical condition. The methods, systems, apparatuses, and/or devices may a first biometric sensor configured to take a first physiological measurement of a user; a second biometric sensor configured to take a second physiological measurement of a user, wherein the first type of physiological measurement is different than the second type of physiological measurement; and a processing device coupled to the first biometric sensor and the second biometric sensor. The processing device is configured to receive the first physiological measurement; determine whether the first physiological measurement includes a biometric marker associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 10320767
    Abstract: A biometric sensor may be coupled to a portable communications device, such as a cellular telephone. The biometric sensor may be configured to acquire one or more measurements of biological characteristics of an individual. One or more of the measurements may relate to internal, sub-epidermal characteristics of the individual, such as non-volitional processes occurring within the individual, sub-epidermal structures within the individual, or the like. A biometric marker may be derived from one or more of the measurements. The portable communications device may be activated responsive to deriving the biometric marker. The activation may include transmitting the measurements and/or biometric markers derived therefrom to a receiver using the portable communications device.
