  • Biometric monitor with electronics disposed on or in a neck collar
    Patent number: 8308641
    Abstract: A highly portable biometric monitor is disclosed. At least one remote sensor member (12, 12?) includes one or more biometric sensors (20, 22, 24, 25) configured for operative coupling with a patient. A neck collar (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) includes electronics (36, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48) for operating the at least one remote sensor member. The at least one remote sensor member is separate from and not disposed on the neck collar. Optionally, the collar also includes one or more biometric sensors (53). A communication link (18) operatively connects the remote sensor member and the electronics of the neck collar. A motion sensor (26) and position sensor (28) may be disposed with the one or more biometric sensors to sense movement and position, and the electronics (36, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48) configured to account for error in a signal produced by the one or more biometric sensors due to movement sensed by the motion sensor or position sensed by the position sensor.

  • DEVICE PROVIDING SPOT-CHECK OF VITAL SIGNS USING AN IN-THE-EAR PROBE
    Publication number: 20090131761
    Abstract: A portable physiological monitoring device (12) includes a receiver (22) that wirelessly receives physiological measurements from each of a plurality of in-the-ear probes (14) upon entering a communication range of one of the in-the-ear probes (14). The portable physiological monitoring device (12) farther includes a display (30) for presenting the physiological measurements.
