System and method for health monitoring by an ear piece

Abstract:

A biosensor is implemented in an earpiece and includes an activity monitoring circuit that detects an activity level of a user and an optical circuit that detects a plurality of spectral responses at a plurality of wavelengths from light reflected from skin of the user. The biosensor determines a heart rate and an oxygen saturation level using the plurality of spectral responses and determines whether the heart rate or the oxygen saturation level reaches a predetermined threshold for the activity level of the user. The biosensor generates an alert and transmits the alert wirelessly to a remote device.
