  • Patent number: 12633406
    Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a system and method for adaptive user experience cycle profiling under anomalous environmental respiratory conditions, such as in hyperbaric or hypobaric environments. In one embodiment, the system comprises an environmental sensor operable to monitor a respiratory environment parameter representative of the anomalous environmental respiratory condition that defines the experience cycle; and a physiological sensor operable to concurrently monitor a physiological parameter representative of the user's cumulative physiological response to the anomalous environmental respiratory condition over time during the experience cycle.

  • Publication number: 20260102084
    Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a broad spectrum optical device, system and method for monitoring oxygen content, as well as related indexes. In one embodiment, a system comprises a broad-spectrum light source to probe chromophores at a user body region; a spectrometer operable to acquire an optical signal resulting from the broad-spectrum illumination; a digital data processor operable to process the broad-spectrum response to at least partially spectrally resolve the oxygen content at the user body region as part of a broad oxygen condition index; and a display operable to output an indicator of the oxygen content as part of the broad oxygen condition index in real-time.
