First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring body sounds comprising:
- providing a wearable sensor or plurality of wearable sensors adapted to be in close proximity to or in contact with the a user'"'"'s skin;
monitoring body sounds measured by the sensor or plurality of sensors through the user'"'"'s skin;
storing the measured body sound data in a database;
processing the stored body sound data to identify any irregularities;
determining if any identified irregularities meet or exceed a predetermined threshold;
triggering an alert on a user'"'"'s mobile device if any identified irregularity meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A method and system of continuous measuring, monitoring and analyzing sounds from person'"'"'s body by a wearable wireless sound sensor worn or attached to clothing in close proximity to skin. The method and system include a wearable sensor including a universal attachment of the sound sensor to a user'"'"'s clothing close or next to their skin in order to perform auscultation and analyze sound signals of the person over any durations of time. A mobile device in communication with the body sound sensor can analyze the collected measured sounds in order to create derived statistics based on received sound during any spans of time including large time intervals.
