SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VITAL SIGNS MONITORING WITH EAR PIECE
First Claim
1. A vital signs monitoring system, the system comprising:
- (a) an ear device including;
a curved body adapted to a shape of an ear, an upper end, a lower end, two opposite facing sides, a first side adapted to be proximal a skull and a second side adapted to be proximal an earlobe, said ear device comprising;
(i) a temperature sensor adapted to sense a body temperature from a depression between a lower jawbone and skull; and
(b) a control system, comprising a processor and a memory, configured and operable to control operation of said ear device, to collect signals received from at least one sensor including said temperature sensor, to process said signals to provide medically significant results.
