FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] Generally, the invention relates to physiological management of a person. More specifically the invention relates to wearable monitoring devices for physiological management of users.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] Nowadays, people's lifestyle has become extremely hectic, which has had an adverse effect on efficient working of their brains, resulting in tremendous stress and erratic behavior, for example, mood swings etc.

[0003] This tremendous stress may further lead to anxiety and depression in a person, thereby making him/her irritable. That person may even cause harm to his/her physical and mental health as a result of this stress. In long term, this may result in chronic lifestyle diseases, for example, depression, Hypertension, dementia, and cardiac problems. Based on some studies, it has been observed that mental stress of a person can be managed using certain kinds of external non-intrusive stimulations. Examples of such stimulations may include, but are not limited to music, soothing lights and sounds, and physical activity.

[0004] Though a lot of conventional stress management methods and systems detect stress levels in a person, they do not personalize brain stimulation based on a person's stress type and level, for better stress management. There is therefore a need for a monitoring device that manages physiological conditions of a person. SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The monitoring device further includes a housing that receives the electrical circuit. Further, the monitoring device includes a fastening member, that is operatively connected to the housing of the monitoring device and is configured to cooperate with a body part of the user.

[0006] In accordance with another aspect, a system is provided. The system includes at least one monitoring device that identifies at least one physiological condition of a user. The system further includes a control device that is communicatively coupled to the at least one monitoring device.

[0021] It will be appreciated that, for clarity purposes, the above description has described embodiments of the invention with reference to different functional units and processors. However, it will be apparent that any suitable distribution of functionality between different functional units, processors or domains may be used without detracting from the invention. For example, functionality illustrated to be performed by separate processors or controllers may be performed by the same processor or controller. Hence, references to specific functional units are only to be seen as references to suitable means for providing the described functionality, rather than indicative of a strict logical or physical structure or organization.

[0022] FIG. 2 illustrates a monitoring device 200 for physiological management of a user, in accordance with an embodiment. Monitoring device 200 includes an electrical circuit 202 that further includes one or more sensor (for example, a sensor 204). The one or more sensors, for example, may include but are not limited to a pressure sensor, heat sensor, a microphone, heart rate sensor, a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor, a Photocardiogram (PCG) sensor, an Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, and a breathing sensor.

[0023] The one or more sensors monitor and collect physiological data associated with a user. Examples of physiological data may include, but are not limited to heart rate, breathing rate, pulse, blood pressure, electrical conductivity across skin surface(s), electrical or magnetic activity of various regions of the brain, body temperature, and voice patterns. In an embodiment, the one or more sensors may be located outside monitoring device 200. In this case, the one or more sensors may communicate the recorded physiological data to monitoring device 200. By way of an example, a heart rate sensor in monitoring device 200 supported by a user may be used to monitor increased heart rate of the user. By way of another example, a pulse sensor in monitoring device 200 may be used to record the pulse of the user.

[0024] The physiological data monitored and collected by the one or more sensors may be stored in a memory storage (not shown in the FIG.) or may be directly communicated to processor 206. Processor 206 may also retrieve this data from the memory storage.

Processor 206 utilizes the physiological data to perform predefined computations in order to identify physiological condition of the user. The physiological condition of the user may include, but is not limited to an anomaly in the physiological data gathered for the user. This anomaly may include, but is not limited to non-rhythmic heart beats, change in mood of the user, excessive precipitation when the user is stationary, unnatural body postures, high or low blood pressure, erratic breathing rate, erratic pulse rate, and voice stress.

[0025] By way of an example, processor 206 may identify mood of the user based on detection of increased pulse rate of the user. By way of another example, non-rhythmic heart beats of the user may be identified by gathering and analyzing the heart rate of the user.

[0026] After the predefined computations have been performed, the results of the predefined computations are stored in the memory storage, such that, these results can be accessed at a later point of time by any device (for example, a mobile phone, a Laptop, a computer, and a Tablet). This stored data may also be used to create a historical profile for the user, which can be analyzed over a period of time to detect certain patterns specific to the user. For example, user is more stressed on Monday morning and most relaxed on Friday evenings.

[0027] The computed physiological condition may be sent to a control device (not shown in FIG. 2) using a transceiver 208 that is communicatively coupled to processor 206. The control device may further control functioning of a plurality of devices based on the physiological condition of the user received from processor 206. The plurality of devices may include, but are not limited to a music system, a lighting system, a smart alarm clock, and a video playback system. Functioning of the smart alarm clock has been explained in detail in application no: XXX, which has been incorporated by reference.

[0028] By way of an example, monitoring device 200 gathers heart rate data for a user using a sensor, which is then sent to processor 206. Processor 206 performs predefined computations on the heart rate data to identify physiological condition of the user, for example, increased heart rate due to anxiety. The identified physiological condition is then sent through transceiver 208 to the control device. The control device may be a part of monitoring device 200. Alternatively, the control device may be communicatively coupled to monitoring device 200 through a software application interface. The control device then utilizes the physiological condition to wirelessly control other devices. When the control device is part of monitoring device 200, transceiver 208 may facilitate communication with other devices. Examples of wireless technologies that may be used include, but are not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi , Zigbee, NearBytes, and a NFC.

[0029] The control device may play music on a music system to alleviate user's anxiety. Additionally, the control device may control the lighting system to increase or decrease brightness to further alleviate user's anxiety. The control device may further activate functioning of the smart alarm clock as described in detail in application no: XXX, incorporated herein by reference.

[0030] Data stored in the memory storage may be transferred to the control device using a micro USB port (not shown in FIG. 2). It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the micro USB port may be located anywhere in monitoring device 200. The micro USB port may also be used to update firmware of monitoring device 200 by connecting it with an external electronic device. Additionally, the micro USB port may be used to charge a battery of monitoring device 200. As an alternative to using wired means for data transfer, activity monitoring device 200 may include a wireless communication module that enables wireless data transfer through transceiver 208. Wireless communication module may include, but is not limited to a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module, Zigbee module, a NearBytes module, and a Near Field Communication (NFC) module. [0031] The results of the predefined computations may also be rendered on a display 212, which is configured to communicate with the memory storage and processor 206. Examples of display 212 may include, but are not limited to Dot matrix Light Emitting Diode (LED) display, Digital LED matrix display, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Organic LED (OLED) display, and Active Matrix organic LED (AMOLED) display. By way of an example, display 212 may display the current heart rate and correlated stress level of the user. This indications may serve as a warning to the user and may prompt the user to slow down or take a break. Display 212 may also display motivational messages, for example, "Relax," "take deep breath," "count to 10," and "You are awesome." In addition to these, display 212 may also display the current time, temperature, and current geographical location.

[0032] Monitoring device 200 further includes a housing 210 that receives electrical circuit 202. Monitoring device 200 further includes a fastening member 214 that cooperates with a body part of the user. In other words, fastening member 214 enables a user to wear monitoring device 200 on a body part, for example, wrist of the user or biceps of the user. Fastening member 214 is adjustable, such that, it can firmly fit different users. Fastening member 214 is not limited to the depiction in FIG. 2 and example of various techniques that can be used in fastening member 214 include but are not limited to snaps, hooks & eyes, elastic, and Velcro.

[0033] FIG. 3 illustrates a system 300 for physiological management of a user, in accordance with an embodiment. System 300 includes a monitoring device 304 that may be worn by a user 302 on wrist, bicep, finger, or any other body part of user 302. Monitoring device 304 is same as monitoring device 200 disclosed in FIG. 2. Monitoring device 304 collects physiological data associated with user 302 and thereafter identifies physiological condition of user 302. Monitoring device 304 includes a sensor (for example, a pressure sensor, heat sensor, a microphone, heart rate sensor, a PPG sensor, a PCG sensor, an ECG sensor, and a breathing sensor) to collect various physiological data associated with user 302. The physiological data of the user may include, but is not limited to a heart rate, breathing rate, pulse, blood pressure, electrical conductivity across skin surface(s), electrical or magnetic activity of various regions of the brain, body temperature, and voice patterns.

[0034] The physiological data collected is utilized by a processor in monitoring device 304 to identify a physiological condition of user 302. Physiological condition may be an anomaly in the physiological data associated with user 302. The anomaly may include, but is not limited to non-rhythmic heart beats, change in mood of the user, excessive precipitation when the user is stationary, unnatural body postures, high or low blood pressure, erratic breathing rate, erratic pulse rate, and voice stress.

[0035] System 300 may further include a control device 306 that is communicatively coupled with monitoring device 304. The physiological condition of the user identified by monitoring device 304 is communicated to control device 306. Examples of control device 306 may include, but are not limited to a smartphone, a tablet computer, a laptop, a personal computer, a portable health device, and a personal digital assistant. In an embodiment, monitoring device 304 may be coupled to control device 306 through a software application interface with the software application running in control device 306. The software application may be developed specifically for monitoring device 304. The communication between monitoring device 304 and the software application running in control device 306 may be through any one or a combination of USB, micro USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, a NearBytes, and NFC. In other words, monitoring device 304 and control device 306 may communicate using both wired or wireless communication means. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that functionalities of control device 306 may be performed by a module built inside monitoring device 304. In this scenario, system 300 will not include control device 306.

[0036] Control device 306 is in further communication with a plurality of devices (for example, devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d) whose functioning is under the control of control device 306. Control device 306 may communicate with devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d through wired or wireless communication protocols as described above. Examples of devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d may include, but are not limited to a music system, a lighting system, a smart alarm clock, and a video playback system.

[0037] Control device 306 controls the functioning of devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d in a predetermined way that is based on the physiological condition of user 302 received by control device 306. Monitoring device 304 and devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d may directly control devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d through the software application running on control device 306, thereby creating an Internet Of Things (IoT) equivalent network.

[0038] By way of an example, monitoring device 304 identifies physiological condition of user 302 and transmits the same to control device 306. The software application in control device 306 analyses the information received and accordingly controls functioning of devices 310a, 310b, 310c, 310d. The functioning, for example, may be controlled in following manner. Brightness of lighting system 310a may be increased or decreased to alleviate physiological condition of user 302. Additionally, music system 310c may be controlled to play soothing music. If user 302 is wearing headphones 310b, the volume may be turned up or down to better suit instant physiological preference of user 302. Further, if user 302 is using smart alarm clock 310d, a happy song may be played when alarm is triggered to alleviate user 302' s mood. For example, if stress level of user 302 is detected as high when it's time for user 302 to wake up, control device 306 may direct smart alarm clock 310d to play a soothing jingle when the alarm is triggered.

[0039] Over time, because of incremental learning by monitoring device 304, the functioning of the plurality of devices may be auto controlled by monitoring device 304 through control device 306. Monitoring device 304 may learn that certain external stimulations are more effective in alleviation of user 302' s physiological conditions and accordingly monitoring device 304 may emulate them in future. Monitoring device 304 may also take user 302' s inputs through control device 306 and act accordingly. Monitoring device 304' s analysis may also be a combination of user 302' s input and its own incremental learning.

[0040] Furthermore, although individually listed, a plurality of means, elements or process steps may be implemented by, for example, a single unit or processor. Additionally, although individual features may be included in different claims, these may possibly be

advantageously combined, and the inclusion in different claims does not imply that a combination of features is not feasible and/or advantageous. Also, the inclusion of a feature in one category of claims does not imply a limitation to this category, but rather the feature may be equally applicable to other claim categories, as appropriate.
