Abstract

Systems and methods include a cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth transceiver coupled to a processor; an accelerometer or a motion sensor coupled to the processor; and a sensor coupled to the processor to sense mood or body vital sign; and a wearable device operating wirelessly with the processor, wherein the wearable device includes at least one sensor coupled to a back of the wearable device and wherein the wearable device recognizes and executes a speech command.

Claims (35)

1. A system, comprising:

a wearable appliance monitoring one or more body parameters, the appliance including a wrist-watch housing, a processor, a transceiver, an accelerometer and one or more heart monitoring sensors coupled to a back of the wrist-watch housing configured to be coupled to a wrist to detect vital sign, wherein the accelerometer detects user movement, and one or more additional sensors that detect body activity;

a telephone having a positioning system and wirelessly coupled to the wearable appliance, the telephone off-loading at least a portion of speech processing from the processor of the wearable appliance; and

a remote-server wirelessly coupled to the wearable appliance through the transceiver or the telephone.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the additional sensor detects at least one of: ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, posture, fall, or movement.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one additional sensor determines heart rate, heart pulse, blood pressure, or oxygen level (SpO2).

4. The system of claim 1 , comprising a second sensor in the wrist-watch housing coupled to the processor to sense mood or vital sign, wherein text, image, sound, or video is rendered in response to a sensed mood or vital sign.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional sensors in the wrist-watch housing are in communication with the processor to capture vital sign data; and an application executed by the processor to process the vital sign data and movement data detected by the accelerometer and a gyroscope.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one additional sensor detects at least one of: ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, patient posture, patient fall, or patient movement and wherein the wearable appliance communicates voice over a personal area network, a wireless local area network, or a cellular network.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the telephone or the wearable appliance communicates with a first device configured to provide data in a first protocol or standard from a first manufacturer and a second device configured to provide data in a second protocol or standard from a second manufacturer; and an electronic health record module configured to translate between the protocols or standards.

8. The system of claim 1 , comprising a module to communicate wearable user data to a physician database or a hospital database.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor receives calorie, food consumption, exercise activity, or glucose level.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one sensor data is used to select a fitness program targeted at a user.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor executes code to store and analyze information including posture, ambulation habits, medicine taking habits, eating and drinking habits, sleeping habits, or exercise habits.

12. A mobile system, comprising:

a wearable device with a wrist-watch housing;

a cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth transceiver coupled to a processor;

an accelerometer and a heart sensor coupled to the processor;

wherein the wearable device includes at least one sensor coupled to a back of the wearable device and wherein the wearable device processes a speech command, the cellular transceiver off-loading at least a portion of speech processing to another processor.

13. The system of claim 12 , comprising one or more electrodes that contact skin and capture bio-electrical signals; and an amplifier coupled to the electrodes.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the sensor comprises an ECG sensor, an optical sensor, and a fall detector.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the wearable device houses the one or more sensors to detect one or more of: ECG, heart rate, brain wave, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, posture, fall, or movement.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the wearable device communicates with a first device configured to provide data in a first protocol or standard from a first manufacturer and a second device configured to provide data in a second protocol or standard from a second manufacturer; and an electronic health record module configured to translate between the protocols or standards.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein mood or body vital sign is used to select a fitness program targeted at a user.

18. A wrist-watch device, comprising:

a wrist-watch housing;

a processor;

an accelerometer and a heart sensor coupled to the processor;

a cellular transceiver coupled to the processor, the cellular transceiver off-loading at least a portion of speech processing to a remote processor;

a display screen coupled to the processor; and

a sensor coupled to a back of the wrist-watch housing to detect blood-oxygen level, heart rate or pulse rate, and wherein the processor processes a speech command.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the processor communicates with a first device configured to provide data in a first protocol or standard from a first manufacturer and a second device configured to provide data in a second protocol or standard from a second manufacturer; and an electronic health record module configured to translate between the protocols or standards.

20. The device of claim 18 , wherein the wrist watch housing encloses one or more sensors to detect the one or more of: ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, posture, fall, or movement.

21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor detects a fall based on sensor data.

22. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor detects one or more sequences of human motion or posture.
