FACE MASK WITH INTEGRATED PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSORS

Abstract:

A face mask including a body portion configured to be secured to a user's face and cover a mouth and nasal passages of the user, a processor, and an oximetry sensor operably positioned at the user's nose when the body portion is secured to the user's face. In some implementations, the oximetry sensor includes at least one emitter configured to emit light into tissue of the user's nose and at least one detector configured to detect at least a portion of the emitted light after passing through the tissue and transmit one or more signals to the processor responsive to detected light. In some implementations, the processor determines one or more physiological parameters based on the one or more signals transmitted by said at least one detector. In some implementations, the face mask is configured to wirelessly transmit the one or more physiological parameters to a mobile computing device.
