APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT OF HEART RATE VARIABILITY
First Claim
1. An apparatus for measurement of heart rate variability, comprising:
- a main body of a earphone to be inserted into a patient'"'"'s ear;
a light source disposed on one side of the main body, emitting light projected onto the skin of the patient'"'"'s ear; and
a sensor disposed on the same side of the main body with the light source, receiving a reflection light from the skin of the patient'"'"'s ear, and accordingly generating and transmitting a sensing signal to an analyzer for measurement of the heart rate variability.

Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for measurement of heart rate variability, comprising a main body of a earphone to be inserted into a patient'"'"'s ear, a light source disposed on one side of the main body, emitting light projected onto the skin of the patient'"'"'s ear, and a sensor disposed on the same side of the main body with the light source, receiving a reflection light from the skin of the patient'"'"'s ear, and accordingly generating and transmitting a sensing signal to an analyzer for measurement of the heart rate variability. Thus, the heart rate variability of the patient can be measured by operation of the light source and the sensor when the patient is listening to the music through the earphone. In this way, true heart rate variability, without being affected by the patient'"'"'s nervousness or impatience, can be derived.
