In-ear health monitoring
11219412 · 2022-01-11 · ·

This document describes techniques for, and systems that enable, in-ear health monitoring. The techniques described herein enable early detection of health conditions (e.g., contagious disease) through use of an in-ear health-monitoring and audio device. These techniques prompt a user, often through the user's smart phone, to listen to audio content through the device, which also takes the user's temperature. Through repetitive use, the techniques are capable of determining a temperature differential for the user, which aids in early detection of a contagious disease or other malady.

Portable physiology monitor configured to measure tympanic temperature
11125622 · 2021-09-21 · ·

Wearable devices (100) capable of measuring a core body temperature and other vital signs of a user in a range of situations are described herein. The wearable device is arranged to be retained within the ear canal of the ear, in order to prevent the wearable device from inadvertently removing itself from the ear. Providing an infrared thermopile (101) at the innermost end of the ear insert ensures that the infrared thermopile is provided as close as possible to the tympanic membrane which will be used to provide an indication of the core body temperature. The device has an audio conduction channel (111) at least partly defined within an ear canal extending member (114), the audio conduction channel configured as a waveguide to conduct sound through a blocking member (212) to a distal portion of the ear insert.

EAR THERMOMETER

An ear thermometer includes a probe including an infrared sensor for measuring a temperature of an eardrum of a target person in a non-contact manner and attached to an ear hole of the target person. The probe includes a probe body inserted into the ear hole, a housing supporting the probe body, and an in-ear type earpiece attached to the probe body and coming into contact inside the ear hole. The earpiece includes a base portion including an engaging portion engaging with the probe body and partially exhibiting a hollow conical shape, and a substantially cylindrical tip portion provided at one end of the base portion and extending in a direction away from the housing. The base portion and the tip portion are integrally formed of a flexible material. An outer diameter of the tip portion is set to be smaller than a maximum outer diameter of the base portion.

Infrared thermometer for magnetic induction identification probe cap
11022497 · 2021-06-01 ·

The present disclosure discloses an infrared thermometer for a magnetic induction identification probe cap, including the body of the infrared thermometer, at an upper end of which is a temperature probe designed with a cap, of which an inner side wall is beset with a magnet block; in the infrared thermometer body ata lower end of the temperature probe is a magnetic induction element connected with a main control unit of the body of the infrared thermometer; when the cap covers the temperature probe or is removed there-from, the magnetic induction between the magnet block and the magnetic induction element enables magnetic induction output control signals. For the infrared thermometer applicable for both forehead temperature measurement and ear canal temperature measurement, the magnetic induction identification probe cap switches between a forehead temperature measurement mode and an ear canal temperature measurement mode.
