WEARABLE PHYSIOLOGY MONITOR COMPUTER APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND RELATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of detecting the physiology of a wearer of a computerized wearable comprising one or more sensors coupled to the eyewear, the one or more sensors being adapted to detect one or more physiological characteristics of the wearer of the eyewear, wherein the one or more characteristics are associated with one of the wearer'"'"'s posture, the method comprising:
- a. receiving, by a processor, at least one signal from the one or more sensors on the computerized wearable device;
b. at least partially in response to receiving the at least one signal, determining, by a processor, a current posture of the wearer of the computerized wearable device;
c. at least partially in response to determining the current posture of the wearer, comparing, by a processor, the current posture of the wearer to a normal posture of the wearer; and
d. notifying, by a processor, the wearer when the current posture of the wearer deviates from the normal posture of the wearer.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of detecting physiological attributes of a wearer of a computerized wearable device having one or more sensors comprises (1) using the information from the one or more sensors to assess the physiology of the wearer; and (2) notifying the wearer of the wearer'"'"'s physiology. In various embodiments, the method involves using the wearable device to determine the wearer'"'"'s current posture, balance, alertness, and/or physical state and comparing the current posture, balance, alertness and/or physical state to at least one baseline measurement. For example, the system may measure a baseline posture to determine when the wearer'"'"'s current posture deviates from the baseline posture, and notify the wearer so that the wearer may improve his or her posture. In other embodiments, the computerized wearable device may detect one or more of the wearer'"'"'s physiological characteristics (e.g., oxygen levels, pulse rate, pupil size, etc.) and determine the wearer'"'"'s alertness level.

20. A computerized wearable device for being worn on a user'"'"'s head, comprising:
-
a. at least one processor; b. one or more sensors operatively coupled to the at least one processor, the one or more sensors selected from a group consisting of; i. a gyroscope, ii. an accelerometer, iii. a geomagnetic sensor, iv. a pulse oximeter, v. a forward facing camera, and vi. an eye-facing camera; c. a power source operatively coupled to the at least one processor; and d. a communication device operatively coupled to the at least one processor; wherein the computerized wearable is configured to; i. receive at least one signal from the one or more sensors on the computerized wearable device at least partially in response to the wearer experiencing an impact to the wearer'"'"'s head; ii. at least partially in response to receiving the at least one signal, determine whether the wearer sustained a concussion as a result of experiencing the impact to the wearer'"'"'s head; and iii. at least partially in response to determining that the wearer sustained a concussion, notify at least one of the wearer or a third party that the wearer has sustained a concussion. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
