Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearable health and environmental monitoring device that is capable of providing users with continuous health monitoring and effectively helps avoiding airborne pollutants and harmful particle while offering protection against harmful UV rays in order to enhances user safety and wellbeing in various environments

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Maintaining a healthy atmosphere is essential for overall well-being in modern times, as exposure to polluted air leads to various health problems such as respiratory issues, allergies, and fatigue. Protecting ourselves from harmful airborne particles and pollutants helps ensure cleaner air and reduces the risk of illness. At the same time, many people suffer from muscle strain and discomfort due to daily stress, poor posture, or physical activity. Gentle massages and proper support relieve tension, improve blood flow, and promote relaxation, which contributes significantly to physical and mental health. Creating an environment that supports clean air and muscle relief is vital for a healthier, more comfortable life.

[0003] Traditionally, people have relied on simple methods to protect themselves from air pollutants, such as wearing cloth or surgical masks, staying indoors during high pollution days, and using air purifiers at home. But masks do not filter all harmful particles effectively, staying indoors does not eliminate exposure completely, and air purifiers are limited to enclosed spaces. To avoid strain and fatigue, common practices include taking regular breaks during physical activity or work, performing stretching exercises, maintaining good posture, and using basic supports like neck pillows or cushions. Additionally, massages by hand or with manual tools have been widely used to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. Manual interventions for strain relief lack consistency, personalization, and fail to provide real-time feedback or adaptive support based on the user’s changing condition and increase the risk of further muscle injury.

Additionally, the existing devices are unable to detect the user fatigue and provides a random massage which requires a manual effort that decreases the efficiency of the operation and leads to inefficient relief to the user.

[0006] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to provides a health monitoring solution by detecting the user fatigue and stress and helps the user by gently massaging without requiring any manual help which enhances the operation and ensure better relief to the user. Additionally, the developed device should be able to protect the user from harmful airborne particles and high UV rays in order to enhance the user health and provides and cooling atmosphere while making the daily activities for the user easier.

[0021] The present invention relates to a wearable health and environmental monitoring device that continuously monitor physiological health and enhance environmental safety for a user while curing the muscle strains and injury with therapeutic approach in order to improves posture, reduces discomfort, and ensures a safer and healthier living environment.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a wearable health and environmental monitoring device is illustrated, comprising a head-mounted member 101, an air quality sensor 102 is mounted on the member 101, a pair of motorized rollers 103 is integrated within the head-mounted member 101 and coupled to a HEPA filter mask 104, a spindle 105 is mounted within the inner periphery of the member 101, a thermal regulation module 106 is installed with the member 101 and includes a chamber 106a, a Peltier unit 106b, and a plurality of collapsible conduits 106c arranged at the inner periphery of the member 101, a plurality of EMG (electromyography) sensors 107 is provided with the member 101, a neck support unit 108 is integrated with the member 101 and comprises a pair of vertically movable cushioned C-shaped plates 108a mounted on sliders 108b with electromagnets 108c at their ends, a plurality of pneumatic acupressure pins 109 is integrated with the neck support unit 108, a gel dispensing module 110 is provided with the member 101 and includes a container 110a, at least one nozzle 110b, and a roller 110c via a sliding unit 110d.

[0023] The device disclosed herein comprises a head-mounted member 101 which resembles a cap. The head mounted member 101 is adapted to be worn by a user. The member 101 is fabricated using lightweight, durable, and breathable materials as high-grade polycarbonate for structural elements and moisture-wicking, antimicrobial fabric for the contact surfaces. The polycarbonate provides excellent impact resistance and rigidity while keeping the overall weight low, enhancing wearer comfort during prolonged use.

[0024] In an embodiment of present invention, the activation of the device
is achieved via a push button. The push button is provided on the member 101 that is pushed by the user to operate the device. The push button typically consists of a button cap which is the visible rounded part of the button that the user presses. When the user pushes the push button, it pushes down a plunger, which is a small rod or a cylinder. Inside the push button, there are electrical contacts made of electrical materials like metal. When the user presses the push button, it completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow and activates the device along with an inbuilt microcontroller.

[0025] A microcontroller is integrated within the head-mounted member 101. The microcontroller, used herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the linked components. The microcontroller is integrated with multiple machine learning protocols and models, allowing the microcontroller to perform complex data analysis.

[0026] An air quality sensor 102 is mounted on the member 101 to detect environmental pollutants including particulate matter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The air quality sensor 102 continuously monitors the surrounding air for harmful pollutants by measuring particulate matter through laser scattering. Upon activation of the device, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the air quality sensor 102. As ambient air is drawn into the air quality sensor 102 chamber, air quality sensor’s surface interacts with gases and particles. Changes in the air quality sensor’s electrical resistance occur as different pollutants, including CO, NO₂, VOCs, and fine particulate matter, come into contact with the air quality sensor 102 surface. These changes are measured and converted into electrical signals proportional to the concentration of each pollutant. Then these signals are fed to the microcontroller which determines overall air quality.

[0027] A pair of motorized rollers 103 are integrated within the head-mounted member 101 and coupled to a HEPA filter mask 104 that unrolls and aligns in front of the user’s face upon detection of exceeding pollutant levels. As the microcontroller receives the data from the air quality sensor 102, the microcontroller compares this data with the pre-fed threshold. If the threshold exceeds, the microcontroller sends a signal to actuate the motorized rollers 103. The motorized rollers 103 are connected to bi-directional DC motors. Upon actuation, the motors convert electrical energy into mechanical torque based on the Lorentz force principle, where current flowing through coils in a magnetic field generates rotational force. The generated torque is transferred to the motor shafts, causing them to rotate. This rotation drives the rollers to unroll the HEPA filter mask 104 smoothly and align the mask in front of the user’s face.

[0028] The HEPA filter mask 104 filters out fine particles, pollutants, and harmful airborne substances from the air. As the mask 104 is placed in front of user’s face, the mask 104 captures particles as small as 0.3 microns with high efficiency. The mask 104 creates a barrier that blocks polluted air from being inhaled. This helps protect the user from inhaling dust, smoke, allergens, and environmental pollutants including particulate matter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

[0029] A weather sensing module is integrated with the microcontroller to detect temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and UV (ultraviolet) radiation. The weather sensing module includes a GPS (global positioning system) module, along with a weather database for real-time environmental data. The GPS module functions by receiving time-stamped radio signals from multiple GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. Each satellite transmits its location and time, and by calculating the time delay from at least three satellites, the GPS receiver determines the user's exact latitude, longitude, altitude, and time through a process called triangulation. This positional data is continuously updated and transmitted to the microcontroller, ensuring real-time tracking of the user’s geographic location.

[0030] Once the microcontroller receives the user’s current GPS coordinates, the microcontroller uses wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, LTE, or GSM to access a pre-integrated weather database, which is accessed via the cloud. The microcontroller sends a location-based query to the database, which returns current and forecasted weather data including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and UV index for that specific location. This data is then fetched by the microcontroller which processes this data and detects the environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and UV radiation.

[0031] A solar protection module is integrated with the member 101 to protect the user upon detection of high UV index or extreme sunlight intensity detected via the weather sensing module. The solar protection module comprises a spindle 105 mounted within the inner periphery of the member 101 coupled with a rolled polycarbonate sheet to shield the user upon detection of high UV levels or temperature. If the weather sensing module detects the high UV levels or temperature, the microcontroller sends a signal to actuate the spindle 105.

[0032] The spindle 105 is driven by a compact DC gear motor. Upon actuation the motor converts electrical energy into mechanical torque through the Lorentz force principle. This torque is transferred to the spindle 105 shaft, causing the shaft to rotate in the unrolling direction. As the spindle 105 turns, this action pulls the edge of the polycarbonate sheet outward through a guided track or slit, allowing the sheet to unfurl smoothly and form a protective barrier between the user and the sun, filtering out the UV radiation before the radiation reaches the skin or eyes of the user.

[0033] An integrated temperature sensor is configured with the member 101 which detects the ambient temperature. The temperature sensor used here is the thermistor which is a resistive element whose electrical resistance decreases predictably as the temperature rises (Negative Temperature Coefficient). The temperature sensor forms part of a voltage divider circuit, producing a voltage output that varies with resistance changes. This voltage signal is fed into the microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The microcontroller converts the voltage reading into a temperature value using a predefined calibration curve stored in memory. This real-time temperature data enables the microcontroller to monitor environmental conditions accurately.

[0034] A thermal regulation module 106 is installed with the member 101 to provide active cooling or heating to the head and surrounding areas based on ambient temperature conditions. The thermal regulation module 106 includes a chamber 106a with thermally conductive gel, a Peltier unit 106b, and a plurality of collapsible conduits 106c arranged at the inner periphery of the member 101 to deliver active cooling by circulating cooled gel based on ambient temperature. The Peltier unit 106b functions based on the Peltier effect, where heat is absorbed or released when electric current passes through the junction of two different semiconductor materials.

[0035] Upon detection of the ambient temperature, the microcontroller sends signal to activate the Peltier unit 106b. To initiate cooling, the microcontroller supplies current in a specific direction, causing one side of the Peltier unit 106b to absorb heat from the thermally conductive gel stored in the chamber 106a and transfer it to the opposite side, where a heat sink dissipates the heat. For heating, the microcontroller reverses the current direction, making the gel-facing side release heat to warm the gel. The microcontroller continuously monitors temperature readings from the temperature sensor and dynamically adjusts the current’s intensity and direction to the Peltier unit 106b in order to ensure the gel maintains an optimal temperature.

[0036] The collapsible conduits 106c are flexible tubes integrated along the inner periphery of the member 101 to circulate thermally regulated gel and connected to a peristaltic pump. As the gel is maintained at ambient temperature, the microcontroller sends a signal to actuate the peristaltic pump. Upon actuation, peristaltic pump, the rolling elements inside the pump compress the tubing sequentially, pushing the thermally conductive gel forward through the conduits 106c without backflow. This squeezing action ensures continuous, contamination-free circulation of the gel and maintains optimal cooling or heating. The collapsible conduits 106c expand and contract smoothly with each squeeze, enabling efficient and consistent delivery of the gel’s thermal energy to the user. As the cooled or heated gel passes through, the gel transfers thermal energy to the skin.

[0037] A plurality of EMG (electromyography) sensors 107 is provided with the member 101 to detect muscle activity, strain, or fatigue in the neck and upper spine region. The microcontroller sends a signal to activate the EMG sensors 107. The EMG sensors 107 detect muscle activity by capturing the electrical signals produced by muscle fibers during contraction. Upon activation, the surface electrodes placed on the skin over the neck and upper spine detect these bioelectric potentials, which are very low in amplitude. The signals are first passed through an amplifier circuit to increase their strength while maintaining signal integrity. Next, the signals undergo filtering to remove noise such as electrical interference and motion artifacts. The cleaned analog signals are then converted into digital form by the microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter. The microcontroller analyzes the signal amplitude, frequency, and duration to assess muscle activity, strain, or fatigue. By continuously monitoring these parameters, the microcontroller detects abnormal muscle behavior and provide feedback or therapeutic responses accordingly.

[0038] A neck support unit 108 is integrated with the member 101 to provide adjustable mechanical support to the neck based on posture and muscle strain data. The neck support unit 108 comprises a pair of vertically movable cushioned C-shaped plates 108a mounted on sliders 108b with electromagnets 108c at their ends where the sliders 108b are activated to translate the plates 108a which are then locked in position around the user's neck upon detection of muscle strain. Upon detection of the muscle strain, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the sliders 108b.

[0039] The sliders 108b are mounted on precision guide rails that ensure smooth vertical movement without lateral play. The sliders 108b are typically driven by compact DC motors with lead screws arrangement. Upon actuation, the motor rotates, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion, which drives the lead screw arrangement. This rotational motion is transformed into linear displacement, sliding the C-shaped plates 108a up or down along the guide rails. The guide rails provide stability and maintain alignment, preventing wobbling or unwanted lateral movement. This movement ensures that the cushioned plates 108a move smoothly and accurately to the required position based on muscle strain data.

[0040] Once the plates 108a reach the optimal position, electromagnets 108c located at the ends of the sliders 108b are energized by the microcontroller via an electric current. As the current flows through the electromagnets 108c, the electromagnets 108c generate a magnetic field that locks the sliders 108b and consequently the plates 108a in place by attracting ferromagnetic components embedded in the slider tracks or adjacent. This magnetic locking prevents any unwanted movement of the plates 108a, ensuring stable and consistent neck support during user activity. The cushioned plates 108a provide comfort by evenly distributing support pressure and minimizing localized stress on sensitive neck areas, reducing muscle fatigue and preventing injury over prolonged use.

[0041] A force sensor is mounted on each C-shaped plate 108a to detect excessive neck tilt or strain and triggers a vibrating unit integrated with the member 101 upon crossing a predefined threshold to prevent injury. During the support, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the force sensor. The force sensor here operates using strain gauge element that detects pressure exerted by the neck on the support unit 108. The strain gauge is bonded to a flexible part of the plate and changes its electrical resistance when deformed by applied force. As the user’s neck tilts or strains beyond a preset limit, the force causes the strain gauge material to stretch or compress, altering its resistance. This change in resistance produces a corresponding variation in voltage within a Wheatstone bridge circuit connected to the sensor. The circuit converts this mechanical deformation into a measurable electrical signal proportional to the applied force. This signal is continuously sent to the microcontroller, allowing real-time monitoring of neck strain to prevent injury.

[0042] Upon receiving a signal indicating excessive force from the force sensor, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the vibrating unit. The vibrating unit commonly consists of a small electric motor with an off-center rotating mass, known as a vibration motor. Upon activating, the motor shaft spins rapidly, causing the off-center weight to rotate and generate mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the user’s skin, providing tactile feedback or alerts to encourage posture correction and prevent injury. The microcontroller modulates vibration intensity and duration to optimize user awareness and comfort.

[0043] A user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit is operatively linked to the microcontroller to display real-time data from each module, allow manual control of therapeutic functions, and alert the user regarding environmental hazards or maintenance requirements. The user-interface typically the computing unit which is a mobile or personal computer, displays real-time data from all sensors and modules for user monitoring. When the user gives command to start the therapy through the user interface, the computing unit processes the input and generates corresponding control commands. These commands are transmitted via a communication protocol, such as I2C, SPI, or UART, to the microcontroller. The microcontroller receives and decodes these commands, then activates the relevant action.

[0044] The database linked to the microcontroller securely stores comprehensive user profiles, including personal information, therapy preferences, and historical environmental exposure data. Each user profile is encoded with unique identifiers and encrypted for privacy. For initiating the therapy as the muscle strain gets detected, the microcontroller communicates with the database to retrieve the relevant user profile by decoding the encrypted data using authentication protocols. The profile contains predefined therapy parameters such as preferred temperature ranges, massage intensity, and sensitivity thresholds.

[0045] In embodiment of the present invention, the user is authenticated using a fingerprint sensor. As the user hold the member 101 to wear initially, the user’s finger naturally touches the fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor, typically capacitive, detects the unique pattern of ridges and valleys on the fingertip by measuring electrical differences across surface of the fingerprint sensor. These signals are processed and converted into a digital fingerprint image by an internal signal processor and ADC (analog-to-digital converter). This digital data is then sent to the microcontroller which processes the data and compares and search in linked database to fetch the user profile.

[0046] Simultaneously, the database logs therapy history and environmental condition records linked to each profile, allowing the microcontroller to analyze past responses and adapt therapy accordingly. The microcontroller processes this decoded data to customize the operation of various modules such as thermal regulation, massage, and gel dispensing, ensuring therapy is personalized in real-time.

[0047] A neck therapy module is integrated with the neck support unit 108 to provide thermal, vibrational, and pneumatic massage therapy based on real-time feedback from temperature and EMG sensors 107. The neck therapy module includes a plurality of pneumatic acupressure pins 109 to target specific therapeutic zones and the Peltier module delivers localized heating or cooling accordingly. Based on muscle strain data from the EMG sensors 107 and temperature sensor, the microcontroller sends a signal to actuate the pneumatic acupressure pins 109 which are powered by pneumatic actuators.

[0048] Upon actuation, the small air compressors within the pneumatic actuators pressurize air and channel it into flexible pneumatic chamber connected to each acupressure pin 109. The increasing air pressure causes the acupressure pins 109 to extend outward through openings in the neck support unit’s surface. As the pins protrude, they gently press against the user’s skin at specific therapeutic zones identified from EMG sensor 107 and temperature sensor data. This modulation mimics a massage effect, targeting strained muscles and stimulating acupressure points. This pneumatic action helps relax muscle tension and promotes blood circulation in the neck area.

[0049] Simultaneously, the microcontroller sends signal to activate the Peltier module. The Peltier module works by creating localized heating or cooling to complement the acupressure treatment. The Peltier module consists of semiconductor plates 108a that, when electrical current flows through them, transfer heat from one side to the other based on the Peltier effect. For cooling, the side in contact with the skin absorbs heat and dissipates it on the opposite side with the help of heat sinks. For heating, the current direction is reversed, warming the skin-contact side. This thermal modulation helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and enhance therapeutic outcomes alongside the pneumatic massage.

[0050] The device further includes a thermal sensor is integrated with the member 101 to detect the temperature of the neck. Upon activation the device, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the thermal sensor. The thermal sensor detects the temperature of the neck by measuring infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface. upon activation, the thermal sensor’s infrared detector captures the emitted heat energy and converts it into an electrical signal proportional to the temperature. This analog signal is then processed by the microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter to obtain a precise digital temperature reading to continuously monitors the neck’s surface temperature.

[0051] A gel dispensing module 110 is provided with the member 101 to dispense pain-relief gel onto strained neck regions and provide massaging effect based on thermal and EMG sensors 107 data. The gel dispensing module 110 includes a container 110a for storing pain relief gel, at least one nozzle 110b connected via a pipe, and a roller 110c via a sliding unit 110d, where the nozzle 110b dispenses the gel and roller 110c massages the gel over high-strain areas identified by the EMG sensors 107 and thermal sensors on which the roller 110c massages the gel into the skin in a controlled manner. Upon receiving the strain and temperature data, the microcontroller sends signal to actuate the nozzle 110b.

[0052] The nozzle 110b is controlled by a solenoid valve that regulates the flow of pain-relief gel. When actuated, the solenoid coil is energized by an electrical signal from the microcontroller. This creates a magnetic field that pulls the valve plunger, opening the valve. As a result, the gel stored in the container 110a flows through the connected pipe and exits via the nozzle 110b. When the coil is de-energized after a pre-saved time, a spring closes the valve, stopping the gel flow. This precise control allows accurate dispensing onto targeted areas.

[0053] Upon dispensing gel, the microcontroller sends a signal to actuate the sliding unit 110d and the roller 110c. The sliding unit 110d wors in same manner of the sliders 108b which provides a linear motion to the roller 110c, allowing the roller 110c to glide smoothly across the targeted neck area. Simultaneously, the roller 110c works in same manner of the motorized rollers 103, mounted on a rotating shaft, spins freely or is motor-driven to provide a gentle massaging action. As the roller 110c moves back and forth, the roller 110c evenly spreads and massages the gel into the skin, enhancing absorption and providing therapeutic relief to strained muscles.

[0054] Lastly, a battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0055] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the head-mounted member 101 resembling the cap, is worn by the user. Upon wearing, the air quality sensor 102 detects pollutants such as particulate matter, CO, NO₂, and VOCs. The pair of motorized rollers 103 unrolls the HEPA filter mask 104 in front of the user’s face when pollutant levels exceed thresholds. The weather sensing module including the GPS module along with the weather database provides real-time environmental data. Upon detection of the high UV levels or temperature, the solar protection module comprising the spindle 105 dispense the polycarbonate sheet. During this, the temperature sensor detects ambient temperature data on which the thermal regulation module 106 maintains the temperature of the thermally conductive gel stored in the chamber 106a by the Peltier unit 106b which is then circulated through the plurality of collapsible conduits 106c to deliver active cooling by circulating cooled gel.

[0056] In continuation, the plurality of EMG (electromyography) sensors 107 monitors neck muscle activity, signalling the neck support unit 108 comprising the sliders 108b to move and position the pair of vertically movable cushioned C-shaped plates 108a that lock in place with the electromagnets 108c. The Force sensor detect excessive neck strain, triggering the vibrating unit to give alert to prevent injury. The user gives therapy command through the user-interface inbuilt in the computing unit. Then user profiles are securely fetched from the database. Upon receiving command, the neck therapy module delivers thermal, vibrational, and pneumatic massage via positioning the plurality of pneumatic acupressure pins 109 in contact with the neck and then the Peltier module delivers localized heating or cooling according to the EMG sensor 107 and the temperature sensor. After this, the thermal sensor monitors neck temperature and then the gel dispensing module 110 releases the pain-relief gel from the container 110a through the nozzle 110b by the pipe, then the roller 110c on the sliding unit 110d massaged into strained areas completing the personalized therapeutic action.
