A wearable device includes a processor and a lower module. The lower module includes a pressure sensor for detecting a mechanical movement of a skin that covers an artery. The mechanical movement of the skin is due to blood flow through the artery. The processor is configured to receive skin movement information from the movement sensor; calculate a pulse front velocity (PFV), which is a velocity of a blood wave as the blood wave passes under the pressure sensor; estimate a pulse wave velocity (PWV) using the PFV; and estimate the blood pressure using the PWV.

Wrist-wearable apparatuses that may be removed and used as a chest-applied cardiac device may include two chest electrodes on an inner surface of a strap (or strap regions), as well as two finger or more finger electrodes on the opposite side of the apparatus. The apparatus may be removed from the wrist and placed on a chest of a patient such that two electrodes are spaced at least five centimeters apart and in contact with the chest and held in place with two or more fingers to capture orthogonal cardiac signals that may be synthesized into a conventional 12-lead cardiac signal.

A modular wristband and sensor system and method of using the same are disclosed. The system uses top and bottom sensor modules that contain conductive ports for connection to wristbands' conductive ports. The wristbands' conductive ports are electrically connected to wires embedded within each wristband segment. These allow for the transfer of data and power between the bands and the top and bottom sensor modules. Having power and data conducted through wristbands into sensors makes it possible for wristband sensors to have swappable bands while maintaining connectivity. Other embodiments include a wristband that includes swappable top and bottom sensor modules communicating wirelessly with each other.

An electronic battery-operated medical bracelet device that contains the technology to accurately detect collapse/fall or other medical emergencies, through the monitoring of the heart rate, oxygen saturation, heart rhythm, and patient input. The bracelet will also display the vital readings to the user if the readings return as abnormal, in an attempt to persuade the user to seek medical attention before it becomes worse. Once a medical emergency is detected, the device alerts surrounding people and paramedics of the emergency and distributes medical and personal information different for surrounding people and paramedics. This includes medical conditions, health insurance information, next of kin, etc. This information can be uploaded to the device's onboard memory drive and can share the information or steps to reach the information, through an onboard speaker system, Bluetooth pairing, and near-filled communication (NFC) to which paramedics have special access.

Measurement devices include a housing featuring a channel, where the housing is dimensioned to be worn in an oral cavity of a user and the channel is positioned such that at least some of the user's teeth are positioned in the channel when the housing is worn, a first sensor positioned within or on a surface of the housing, where the first sensor is configured to generate a first measurement signal that includes information about a position of the measurement device, and a second sensor positioned within or on a surface of the housing, where the second sensor is configured to generate a second measurement signal that includes information about at least one of a biochemical and an electrical property of the user's oral cavity.

A vital signs monitoring ring with integrated display includes a ring housing, the ring housing comprising at least two windows and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) layer configured to be attached to the ring housing. The PCBA layer includes a display section, a sensor section, a transmission mode oximetry measurement section configured to be in alignment with the at least two windows, a power supply, and a switch configured to power on the vital signs monitoring ring with integrated display via the power supply. The display section is configured to display physiological and action parameters associated with a user by sensing the physiological and action signals from a digit of user wearing the vital signs monitoring ring with integrated display using at least the sensor section and the transmission mode oximetry measurement section.
