Systems and Methods for Detecting Heart Pathologies - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240315584 titled 'Systems and Methods for Detecting Heart Pathologies
The abstract describes a patent application for a device that can be worn in or on the ear of a user, which includes a microphone to determine the user's heart activity and detect indications of heart pathology through a predictive algorithm.
- The device includes a microphone that captures the user's heart activity.
- The microphone signal is processed to analyze the heart activity.
- A predictive algorithm is applied to detect any signs of heart pathology.
- The device can be worn comfortably on the ear for continuous monitoring.
- The technology provides a non-invasive way to monitor heart health.
Potential Applications: - Continuous monitoring of heart activity for early detection of heart issues. - Remote monitoring of patients with heart conditions. - Integration into wearable devices for fitness and health tracking.
Problems Solved: - Provides a non-invasive method for monitoring heart health. - Enables early detection of heart pathology. - Offers a convenient way to track heart activity on a daily basis.
Benefits: - Early detection of heart issues can lead to timely medical intervention. - Continuous monitoring can provide valuable data for healthcare professionals. - Convenient and comfortable to wear for extended periods.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Heart Monitoring Device for Health and Fitness" This technology can be used in medical devices, fitness trackers, and healthcare monitoring systems. It has the potential to revolutionize the way heart health is monitored and managed in various industries.
Questions about Heart Monitoring Device: 1. How does the device differentiate between normal heart activity and signs of pathology? The device uses a predictive algorithm to analyze the heart activity and detect any abnormalities that may indicate heart pathology.
2. Can the device be integrated into existing wearable technology? Yes, the device can be integrated into wearable devices to provide users with continuous heart monitoring capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
a device that includes a microphone may be worn in or on an ear of a user. a microphone signal generated by the microphone may be processed to determine a heart activity of a user. an indication of a heart pathology may be detected by applying a predictive algorithm to at least the heart activity. other aspects are described.
