Abstract

A biometric sensor includes a prosthesis for at least one joint having one or more biometric transceivers. The one or more biometric transceivers are capable of transmitting at least one energy wave into a procedure area, quantitatively assessing a behavior of the at least one energy wave, and assessing particulate matter using the at least one energy wave.

Claims

1. A biometric sensor for detecting biometric parameters, comprising:

a prosthesis for at least one joint having at least one biometric transceiver, the at least one biometric transceiver;

transmitting at least one energy wave from the at least one biometric transceiver into a procedure area;

quantitatively assessing a behavior of the at least one energy wave; and

assessing particulate matter using the at least one energy wave.
