Abstract A wearable apparatus and method for monitoring physiological parameters of an individual during sleep, the apparatus comprising: (a) a head-applied sensor assembly configured to be worn on the head of an individual, the sensor assembly comprising: (i) at least one electroencephalography (EEG) sensor; (ii) at least one electrooculography (EOG) sensor; (iii) at least one electromyography (EMG) sensor; and (iv) at least one photoplethysmography (PPG) oximetry sensor; and (b) an electronics module operatively coupled to the head-applied sensor assembly and configured to acquire signals from the EEG, EOG, EMG, and PPG oximetry sensors during a common monitoring period. Abstract

A lightweight, cost-effective electrooculography (EOG)-based signal analysis device designed for non-diagnostic, commercial communication and control of external devices. The device includes ocular electrodes (102a, 102b, 102c) for capturing vertical eye movement signals and an auricular reference electrode (300) to improve signal stability and comfort. These signals are processed by a microcontroller (202) and transmitted to an external signal interpreter (202), facilitating interaction with devices such as computers, robotic systems, and prosthetics. The invention addresses the challenge of providing accessible, portable communication solutions for individuals with neuro-motor impairments, ensuring practical use with minimal setup requirements. The primary applications include communication support for conditions like ALS, Locked-in syndrome, and cerebral palsy, enabling users to control external systems efficiently.
