  • Patent number: 10722128
    Abstract: Computerized eyewear and corresponding methods measure a wearer's heart rate using a first optical sensor and a second optical sensor at least partially embedded in an eyewear temple. The first optical sensor transmits a first signal to a temple of the wearer and the second optical sensor transmits a second signal to the temple of the wearer. Reflections of the first signal are used to measure a raw heart rate delta and reflections of the second signal are used to measure a noise delta. The raw heart rate delta and the noise delta are used to determine a measured heart rate of the wearer of the computerized eyewear.

  • Patent number: 10694981
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of detecting physiological attributes of a wearer of a computerized wearable device having one or more sensors comprises (1) using the information from the one or more sensors to assess the physiology of the wearer; and (2) notifying the wearer of the wearer's physiology. In various embodiments, the method involves using the wearable device to determine the wearer's current posture, balance, alertness, and/or physical state and comparing the current posture, balance, alertness and/or physical state to at least one baseline measurement. For example, the system may measure a baseline posture to determine when the wearer's current posture deviates from the baseline posture, and notify the wearer so that the wearer may improve his or her posture. In other embodiments, the computerized wearable device may detect one or more of the wearer's physiological characteristics (e.g., oxygen levels, pulse rate, pupil size, etc.) and determine the wearer's alertness level.

  • Patent number: 10617342
    Abstract: A computer system and method is adapted for determining an alertness of a wearer of a computerized wearable device having one or more sensors by receiving a signal from the sensors and determining a baseline heart rate of the wearer. The system monitors the wearer for an elevated heart rate and/or transmits a stimulus to the wearer to produce an elevated heart rate. In response to the elevated heart rate, the system compares the wearer's current heart rate to the wearer's baseline heart rate to determine the wearer's current alertness by calculating the length of time it takes the wearer's current heart rate to return to the baseline heart rate. The system notifies the wearer of the wearer's current alertness by generating an alert such as sending a notification to the wearer's computing device. The system may also generate an alert from a vehicle driven by the wearer.

  • Patent number: 10542915
    Abstract: A wearable device includes at least one sensor for obtaining a unique identifier from the wearer when the wearer and for transmitting the unique identifier to one or more computer processors for use in determining whether the wearer is a particular individual. The wearable device may also include a wireless communications device for transmitting a signal (e.g., to a remote computing device) that confirms the identity of the wearer as the particular individual. A remote computing device, or other device, or individual, may then, based at least in part on receiving the signal, grant wearer access to a computer program, computing system, and/or a particular physical space.

  • Patent number: 10448867
    Abstract: A system, according to various embodiments, includes eyewear (or any other suitable wearable device) that includes one or more sensors (e.g., one or more accelerometers, magnetometers, position sensors, gyroscopes, and/or other suitable sensors) that may be used to monitor the gait of an individual (e.g., by monitoring the movement of the user's head, or other portions of the user's body, as the user ambulates). The system may further include one or more suitable computing devices for analyzing the individual's gait. This information may then be used, for example, to: (1) identify one or more medical conditions associated with the individual; (2) assess the fit of a prosthetic device worn by the individual, and/or (3) assess an individual's recovery from a particular injury or medical procedure.
