Apparatus and method for measuring biologic parameters
First Claim
1. A measuring system for placement on the skin at an end of a brain tunnel and for transmitting a signal to a remote receiver, said measuring system comprisinga housing, a portion of said housing being sized and dimensioned for placement between an eyebrow and an eye of a subject on the skin at the end of the brain tunnel,a sensor positioned in the portion of the housing sized and dimensioned for placement between the eyebrow and the eye of the subject on the skin at the end of the brain tunnel, said sensor generating a signal based upon measurements of said skin at the end of the brain tunnel,said housing including a wireless transmitter for transmitting the signal from said sensor, anda receiver for said signal transmitted by said wireless transmitter, said reciever including at least one of a watch, a cellular phone, a computer, an internet appliance and a pager.

Abstract
Support structures for positioning sensors on a physiologic tunnel for measuring physical, chemical and biological parameters of the body and to produce an action according to the measured value of the parameters. The support structure includes a sensor fitted on the support structures using a special geometry for acquiring continuous and undisturbed data on the physiology of the body. Signals are transmitted to a remote station by wireless transmission such as by electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared, sound and the like or by being reported locally by audio or visual transmission. The physical and chemical parameters include brain function, metabolic function, hydrodynamic function, hydration status, levels of chemical compounds in the blood, and the like. The support structure includes patches, clips, eyeglasses, head mounted gear and the like, containing passive or active sensors positioned at the end of the tunnel with sensing systems positioned on and accessing a physiologic tunnel.
