Other Notable Innovations for Wearable and Wireless Systems
摘要
Additional wearable and wireless systems warrant consideration. These configurations generally rely on the rampant advances of miniaturization, since their supporting subsystems, such as inertial sensors, are packaged within a rigid enclosure. For example, a ring mounted device equipped with an inertial sensor system can quantify movement disorder tremor emphasizing the prescribed finger. Wireless connectivity can be facilitated through a wrist mounted module. In a similar theme, wrist mounted smartwatches equipped with the proper software application constitute a wearable and wireless system for healthcare regarding the treatment of movement disorder symptoms. In fact, a particular type of smartwatch can be facilitated with numerous software applications capable of ascertaining movement disorders symptoms in a clinically relevant manner. Other designs emphasize a more application specific wrist mounted system for determining movement disorder symptoms that are conceptually aligned with wearable and wireless systems for healthcare. Beyond the domain of technical publications these wrist mounted wearable and wireless systems for ascertaining movement disorder symptoms in a highly quantified and objective manner are further elucidated by consideration of their United States of America Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certification and associated intellectual property filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Organization (USPTO). The advance and evolution of the smartwatch is anticipated to substantially improve the opportunities for the treatment of movement disorder in the context of wearable and wireless systems for healthcare. Furthermore, the implementation of highly novel software applications for discerning movement disorder symptoms with common smartwatch hardware is forecasted.
