  • Publication number: 20230181103
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for evaluating obstructive sleep apnea with PPG signal are provided. Measured heartbeat interval signal is used to evaluate whether there is obstructive apnea. The system includes a motion sensor for detecting whether a user is in a stationary state; an optical sensor for measuring the heartbeat interval signal of the user in a stationary state; a microprocessor for processing the heartbeat interval signal of the user to obtain an apnea parameter; an alert module for receiving the apnea parameter and feeding them back to the user; and a memory module for storing the apnea parameter after the signal processing. The system and method are used to determine whether the heartbeat interval signal is an obstructive sleep apnea signal, and further determine whether the user is in an obstructive sleep apnea situation.

  • Publication number: 20080167534
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an information collecting apparatus for collecting physiological parameters and the method is applied in the information collecting apparatus. When the information collecting apparatus receives a user's physiological parameter and determines that the physiological parameter does fall within the range of a monitoring limit value registered in the information collecting apparatus, then the information collecting apparatus will send a notice to a management server, so that the personnel, organization or department at the management server is able to monitor the user's health condition and select the most appropriate time to take actions and provide appropriate medical treatments for the user.

  • Publication number: 20080108880
    Abstract: A wireless transmission apparatus includes a processing unit, a pushbutton for producing a press signal, a memory unit for storing an identification code, a wireless transmission unit, and a connecting unit connected to a portable detector for receiving a physiological parameter measured by the portable detector. If the connecting unit is not connected and the press signal is received, the processing unit will produce and send an emergency notice signal to the wireless transmission unit that packs the emergency notice signal and identification code as an emergency notice packet to be sent to a service provider. If the connecting unit is connected and the press signal is received, the processing unit will output the physiological parameter to the wireless transmission unit for packing the physiological parameter and identification code as a physiological data packet to be sent to a service provider for monitoring the user's current physiological conditions.
