Abstract:
A wearable pulse rate and rhythm monitoring device that monitors a person's pulse for variables such as pulse rate, pulse rhythm, pulse amplitude and blood pressure versus time when a person is exposed to one or more potential allergens. The person will select a potential allergen, such as corn, from a list stored in the device when the person will be exposed to that particular potential allergen. Selecting a potential allergen will start the device to monitor the pulse for gathering the data and storing the data in the memory for a pre-selected period of time. The stored data is then downloaded into a program that will plot the pulse rate versus real time so that an allergen can be identified. By monitoring the various changes to a person's pulse versus real time instead of taking an average, even slight allergens can be identified.
