Embodiment Construction

[0037] The present invention provides a strap-based wearable device for measuring physiological parameters of a user. The sensor device is used to convey information about physiological parameters of the user. The tightness of the strap arrangement is automatically controlled in response to the quality of the sensor signal. In this way, the device reacts to sensor signals and adjusts itself.

[0038] Wearable devices that respond to motion or activity have been proposed. For example, a smart bra has been proposed that can tighten or loosen bra straps and bra cups based on strain, (mechanical) pressure, respiration, and breast motion. The smart bra performs actuation to enhance comfort. However, the system does not react to the quality of the measurement signal to ensure accurate sensing information is collected.

[0039] It is also known to monitor sensor signal quality. For example, a continuous heart rate monitoring watch known as the MIO Alpha(TM) watch monitors heart ...

Abstract

A strap-based wearable device for measuring a physiological parameter of a user. A sensor arrangement is used to convey information about the physiological parameter of the user. The tightness of thestrap arrangement is controlled automatically in response to the quality of the sensor signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable device for monitoring user signals, wherein the device has an automatically adjustable strap. Background technique [0002] There is a growing interest in wearable sensor devices. These can be used to provide real-time medical information, or to provide physiological performance information, for example for use in physical exercise. [0003] Such wearable devices are often in close contact with the user, making comfort critical to acceptance, especially when such wearable devices are to be worn all day. [0004] Some measurements require close physical contact with the user, for example for pulse measurements based on pressure signals, or for conductivity measurements. In fact, there are smart watches that include such a pulse measurement capability. For periodic measurements, tightness is not required all the time, but only when measurements are taken. [0005] One of the reasons people show reluctance t...
