Systems, apparatus, and methods for using a wearable device to monitor operator alertness

This invention describes smart glasses designed to keep track of how alert a person is. The glasses use various sensors, including a heart rate monitor, to detect when the wearer's heart rate goes up. It then measures how long it takes for the heart rate to return to normal, and if this takes too long, the glasses determine the wearer is less alert and can send a warning to them or a vehicle.

Why it matters: Integrating multiple advanced sensors into compact, power-efficient eyewear was a significant hurdle in 2017; today's smaller components and improved battery life make the claimed device more viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom eyewear hardware, sensor integration, software.
