Pulse oximeter with cellular communication capability

Abstract

A pulse oximeter is described. The pulse oximeter includes at least a sensor component, an engine, a display, and a microphone. The sensor component includes a receiving portion configured to receive a finger of an individual therein, an emitter component configured to emit light at one or more wavelengths into a tissue of the finger of the individual, and a detector component configured to detect the light originating from the emitter component that emanates from the tissue of the finger of the individual after passing through the tissue. The engine is configured to calculate physiological parameters for the individual based on data received from the sensor component. The engine includes a memory housing a first user profile associated with a first user and a second user profile associated with a second user and a processor connected to the memory. The processor includes a voice activation component, which uses algorithms to: analyze the audio input, compare the audio input to commands stored in the memory, determine that the audio input corresponds to a command of the commands stored in the memory based on the comparison, and process and execute the command. The display is configured to display the physiological parameters and other data to the individual.
