Physiological stress detector device and system
First Claim
1. A non-invasive device for measurement of blood saturation and heart pulse rate of an organ, comprising:
- a housing unit comprising;
at least one light source, providing light directed toward the surface of said organ, the light being reflected from said organ;
a sensor device spaced apart from said at least one light source and being sensitive to intensity levels of said reflected light for producing intensity signals in accordance therewith; and
a processing unit for processing said intensity signals received from said sensor device and for producing output signals.

Abstract
A method, system and device for measurement of a blood constituent level, including a light source, a light detector proximate an organ surface, adjustable gain amplifiers, and a processor/controller connected within a processing unit operative to separate AC and DC signal components. The device may determine the level of blood constituent, may use this level for monitoring and/or to activate an alarm when the level falls outside a predetermined range, may be applied to monitoring conditions of apnea, respiratory stress, and reduced blood flow in organ regions, heart rate, jaundice, and blood flow velocity, and may be incorporated within a monitoring system.

19. A monitoring system comprising:
-
a non-invasive device for measurement of blood saturation and heart pulse rate, comprising;
housing unit configured in the shape of wrist bracelet or ankle strap, said housing unit comprising;
at least one light source, providing light directed toward the surface of said organ, the light being reflected from said organ;
a sensor device spaced apart from said at least one light source and being sensitive to intensity levels of said reflected light for producing intensity signals in accordance therewith;
a processing unit for processing said intensity signals received from said sensor device and for producing output signals; and
a transmitter configured to transmit said output signals to a receiver at a remote location; and
a receiver configured to indicate an alert when the blood saturation or heart pulse rate falls outside of a pre-determined range. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
