Problems solved by technology

Typically, existing solutions for measuring BIA require specialized equipment in clinical settings
Additionally, there are few devices that are not very mobile to measure BIA outside of a clinical setting, e.g., these devices may not fit in the user's pocket, or be integrated into another device that the user typically has with him at all times

Abstract

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement are presented. A mobile device includes an outer body sized to be portable for user, a processor contained within the outer body, and a plurality of sensors physically coupled to the outer body. The sensors are configured to obtain a first measurement indicative of blood volume and a second measurement indicative of heart electrical activity in response to a user action. A blood pressure measurement is determined based on the first measurement and the second measurement. The sensors also include electrodes where a portion of a user's body positioned between the electrodes completes a circuit and a measurement to provide at least one measure of impedance associated with the user's body. A hydration level measurement is determined based on the measure of impedance.

Description

Background technique [0001] Aspects of the invention relate to mobile devices, and more particularly to a system and method for obtaining at least one physical function measurement of a user operating a mobile device. [0002] A user typically needs to know his / her body function measurements, which can provide physiological measures of stress, measures of hydration, and other measures of general health. Physiological measures of stress can be used to communicate instructions to the user to modify his / her behavior (eg, breathe, take a deep breath, etc.). Athletes or generally active individuals can use hydration measures to ensure they stay hydrated to maintain physical performance. Additionally, this information can be used by individuals who work in hot or dry environments and must maintain proper hydration. Additionally, this information can be used for the elderly, who feel less hydrated and tend to be more prone to dehydration. Accordingly, important body function measu...
