Abstract:
Physiological parameters are monitored from within an ear canal. A sensor module, which is mountable within the ear canal, includes at least one sensor operable to sense the physiological parameters and to generate signals based on the sensed physiological parameters. A processor, which is in communication with the sensor module, processes the signals from the at least one sensor and generates data related to the physiological parameters.
