  • Patent number: 10959626
    Abstract: A user-wearable device utilizes energy harvesting technology to lengthen battery life or eliminates the need to charge the wearable device. In one embodiment, a user-wearable device combines energy harvesting technology with low power sensors and high efficiency processing methods to realize a self-charging or battery-less biometric monitoring system. The wearable biometric monitoring system provides accurate biometric measurements while enhancing user experience by extending the battery life or completely eliminating the need for the user to charge the device.

  • Patent number: 10478129
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating biophysiological rates using the Hilbert transform includes receiving a quasiperiodic data stream from a biophysiological sensor, and removing at least a portion of an offset from the quasiperiodic data stream to provide a smoothed data stream by filtering the quasiperiodic data stream through a bandpass filter and phase compensating the filtered quasiperiodic data stream. The method also includes transforming the smoothed data stream into an analytic data stream using a Hilbert transform approximation and calculating the time derivative of the phase angle of the analytic data stream, where the time derivative is a frequency of the quasiperiodic data stream. The method further includes providing an output data stream derived from the frequency.

  • Patent number: 10405803
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating a cardiovascular feature, such as heart interbeat intervals, using time-delay embedding includes receiving a quasiperiodic observational data stream from a biophysiological sensor, selecting a first delay value, and generating a first vector with a first dimensionality in a multidimensional coordinate space from the observational data stream through time-delay embedding. The method also includes selecting a first plane with a second dimensionality equal to one less than the first dimensionality and which passes through an origin of the coordinate space, identifying a plurality of crossings of the first vector through the first plane in one direction, and correlating a time value corresponding to each of the crossings. The method further includes calculating a plurality of periods between the time values corresponding to consecutive crossings, where the periods represent a stream of interbeat intervals.
