==Systems and Method for PPG Using an Audio Sensor with a Wearable Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041339 titled 'Systems and Method for PPG Using an Audio Sensor with a Wearable Device

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an apparatus that combines photoplethysmography (PPG) data and acoustic data to generate a heart rate estimate for a human subject. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

* The apparatus includes a processing device and a memory storing instructions.
* The processing device receives PPG data derived from signals associated with at least one PPG sensor.
* The processing device also receives acoustic data derived from signals associated with at least one audio sensor.
* The audio sensor is oriented to sense the heart rate of a human subject.
* The processing device combines the PPG data and the acoustic data to generate a heart rate estimate.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Health monitoring devices: The apparatus can be used in wearable devices or medical equipment to monitor the heart rate of individuals.
* Fitness trackers: The technology can be integrated into fitness trackers to provide accurate heart rate measurements during exercise.
* Remote patient monitoring: The apparatus can enable remote monitoring of patients' heart rates, allowing healthcare professionals to track their condition without the need for frequent in-person visits.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate heart rate estimation: By combining PPG data and acoustic data, the apparatus can provide a more accurate heart rate estimate compared to using only one type of sensor.
* Non-invasive measurement: The use of PPG and acoustic sensors allows for non-invasive measurement of heart rate, avoiding the need for invasive procedures.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved health monitoring: The apparatus provides a more comprehensive and accurate heart rate estimation, enabling better monitoring of individuals' health conditions.
* Convenience and comfort: The non-invasive nature of the technology makes it more convenient and comfortable for users, as they do not need to undergo invasive procedures for heart rate measurement.
* Remote monitoring capabilities: The technology enables remote monitoring of heart rates, allowing for timely intervention and support for individuals, especially in remote or inaccessible areas.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an apparatus includes a processing device coupled to a memory storing instructions. the instructions cause the processing device to receive photoplethysmography (ppg) data derived from signals associated with at least one ppg sensor; receive acoustic data derived from signals associated with at least one audio sensor oriented to sense a heart rate of a human subject; and combine the ppg data and the acoustic data to generate a heart rate estimate.
