FIG. 1
The present invention is related to a smart hand glove, more specifically related to measuring the body temperature, blood oxygen levels and pulse rate of the user.
Potential hazards to hands and arms include skin absorption of harmful substances, chemical or thermal bums, electrical danger, bruises, abrasions, cuts, punctures, fractures, or amputations. Protective equipment includes gloves, finger guards and arm coverings.
.0 The hand gloves that are presently used as a PPE and in other applications does not possess any means to measure the health condition of the user, while the user is exposed to the hazardous environmental conditions. This may be helpful to a user who is suffering from some medical health condition and requires serious attention. Also, during the present time, newly discovered corona virus (Covid-19) is at its peak. The corona virus is spreading at the fastest pace and this .5 has put almost every person in a dangerous zone. The symptoms of COVID-19 are so common that almost every individual is wondering whether he is suffering from the virus. The symptoms are very common to distinguish from any normal fever and cold conditions. Therefore, you need to be capable enough to monitoring your condition so that the right decision can be made at right time. This can be done with the help of two common devices, a thermometer, and an oximeter. .0 These devices will assist in determining whether the deceased is suffering from the corona virus.
Hence, there is a need for a hand glove that is associated in a close contact with the user, while the user is exposed to the external environment, for the safety of the user from touching the harmful contaminants present in the environment as well as for the continuous monitoring of the health conditions of the user.
The present invention provides a smart hand glove (101) that can continuously monitor the body temperature, oxygen saturation level in the blood and the pulse rate of the user, along with its basic functionalities. The smart hand glove (101) of the present invention comprises of a smart hand glove (101) with a temperature sensor (205), a series of oximeter sensors (201), a pulse-rate measurement sensor, a processor (207) and a display unit (103). The smart hand glove (101) is provided with a temperature sensor (205) which measures the temperature of the user. The sensor is fitted at the dorsal side of the hand on the inner side of the smart hand glove (101). The processor (207) is placed adjacent to the temperature sensor (205). The processor (207) is coupled to the display unit (103). The sensor is used for continuously measuring the body temperature of the user, as the user wears it. The measurement of the temperature sensor (205) is transmitted to the processor (207) for the processing. The output of the processor (207) is then displayed on the display unit (103) that is coupled at the center of the dorsal side or the upper portion of the smart hand glove (101). There is another sensor for sensing the oxygen saturation .0 levels in the blood, i.e., oximeter sensor (201). An oximeter sensor (201) is coupled, each at a fingertip, on the inner side of the smart hand glove (101) enabled to couple with the fingertip. The value of the oxygen saturation level in the blood of the user is calculated at each of the oximeter sensor (201) and is further transmitted to the processor (207). The processor (207) is used for averaging out the readings received from the oximeter sensors (201). The averaged .5 value of all the oximeter sensor (201) readings from the processor (207) is displayed on the display unit (103) of the smart hand glove (101). A pulse-rate measurement sensor is coupled at the inner side of the wrist strap on the smart hand glove (101), enabled to continuously measures the pulse rate of the user and transmits the measurements to the processor (207). The processor (207) then processes the measurements of the pulse-rate measurement sensor and further o0 transmits it for display on the display unit (103). The smart hand glove (101) is also equipped with the Bluetooth technology or any short range communication channel, for transferring the data collected by the processor (207) from the temperature sensor (205), the processor (207) and the pulse-rate measurement sensor to the devices coupled to it.
An advantage of the smart hand glove (101) is that it provides a platform for the user to continuously monitor his health conditions without any assistance. The user can self-monitor his heath conditions and further transmits the results of the measurements to other devices which are coupled to the smart hand glove (101) using Bluetooth technology or any short range communication channel, if needed. The measurement results can also be saved in other devices for a later assessment. Its other advantages come in the area of determining the health conditions for a person as per the Covid-19 protocol. The parameters like the body temperature and the oxygen saturation levels in the blood needs to be monitored for the prediction of the corona virus symptoms.
The proposed smart glove is applicable for people working in groups or individually, in a factory, in an office, mines, on an adventure tours, cycling etc. the original worth of the device is in saving human life by continuously keeping a watch on the general health condition of an individual.
