Patent attributes
Systems and devices of the present disclosure provide automated detection and tracking of carbon monoxide inhalation through non-invasive optical spectroscopy. A wearable device includes a light source coupled to the base and directing light towards a subject and a photodetector coupled to the base to receive light emitted by the light source through or reflected the subject. The light source emits light at a wavelength spectrum corresponding to a carboxyhemoglobin absorption spectrum and an oxyhemoglobin absorption spectrum. Biometric circuitry is coupled to the photodetector to receive a signal from the photodetector and process the signal to determine an intensity of the wavelengths present in the light received at the photodetector. The intensity of the wavelengths is indicative of a level of carbon monoxide inhalation associated with the subject.
