Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for collecting physiological information from a user and determining information including, but not limited to, a user's heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels (SvO2), hydration, respiration rate, and heart rate variability. Physiological information is collected from one or more modules, each comprising a sensor array. The sensor array(s) can comprise, among other things, light sources, photo detectors, ECG electrodes/sensors, bio impedance sensors, galvanic skin response sensors, tonometry/contact sensors, accelerometers, pressure sensors, acoustic sensors, and electromagnetic sensors. The information collected from a user can be used to cross-reference a database comprising similar information for a number of subjects as well as verified measurements for each subject including, but not limited to, blood pressure, oxygen levels (SvO2), hydration, respiration rate, and heart rate variability. As such, a user's blood pressure, oxygen levels, hydration, respiration rate, and heart rate variability can be accurately estimated without direct measurement.
