Biometric data detection systems
The EEG measurement is carried out with the Neurosky device. This tool reports the wearer’s mental state in the form of algorithms including Attention and Meditation, thanks to a technology called ThinkGear. Neurosky includes the sensor in contact with the forehead, the contact and reference points located in the ear clip and the integrated chip that processes the signals received from the body surface, amplifies the biosignal and removes ambient noise and muscle movement. The eSense algorithm is then applied to the remaining signal, providing the processed values.
The instrument used for monitoring blood pressure, heart rhythm and saturation is the Benchmark Earbud by Valencell, a wearable device designed to be applied to the ear that allows to detect biometric parameters through photoplethysmography. Module, BE5.0) consists of a sensor module, a microcontroller (MCU) and an accelerometer.
The architecture of the headset is an asymmetrical mechanical system, which can be positioned on both the left and right side of the ear.
