DEVICE AND METHOD SUITABLE FOR MONITORING ARTERIAL BLOOD IN A BODY PART - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341608 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD SUITABLE FOR MONITORING ARTERIAL BLOOD IN A BODY PART
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a wearable device that can monitor blood in a body part, such as in oximeters used to detect oxygen levels in the blood. The device works by comparing the ratio of transmission of visible red light to infrared light. The amount of absorbed red light compared to infrared light indicates the oxygen levels in the blood. The wearable device includes an emitter that emits red light and another emitter that emits infrared light to the same sensor, which can detect both wavelengths. The emitters take turns emitting light to the sensor.
- The wearable device monitors blood in a body part, such as in oximeters for detecting oxygen levels in the blood.
- It compares the ratio of transmission of visible red light to infrared light to determine oxygen levels.
- The device includes emitters that emit red and infrared light to the same sensor.
- The sensor can detect both ranges of wavelengths.
- The emitters alternate emitting light to the sensor.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in wearable health technology, oximetry research, and innovations in blood oxygen monitoring devices.
Questions about Wearable Blood Monitoring Devices: 1. How accurate are wearable devices in monitoring blood oxygen levels? 2. What are the potential limitations of using wearable devices for health monitoring?
Original Abstract Submitted
a wearable device suitable for monitoring blood in a body part may be implemented for instance in oximeters for detecting oxygen level in blood, which operates by contrasting the ratio of transmission of visible red light to transmission of infrared light. the ratio of the amount of absorbed red light to the amount of absorbed infrared light indicates the amount of oxygen in the blood. therefore, in wearable devices having an oximeter function, there may be an emitter emitting red light to the sensor, and an emitter emitting infrared light to the same sensor which is capable of detecting in both ranges of wavelengths. in this case, the red light emitter and the infrared light emitter take turns to emit light.
