Abstract:
Mouth guards having electrodes, sensors, and/or accelerometers for determining one or more physiological conditions of a subject. Processing circuitry receives the outputs of the electrodes, sensors, and/or accelerometers. Optionally, at least a portion of the processing circuitry can be positioned within a helmet that is worn by a subject. The mouth guard can optionally be tethered to the helmet.

Claim (Index 1):
A measurement system for determining at least one physiological condition of a subject, the subject having a head, a mouth, and upper and lower teeth, the measurement system comprising:\n a mouth guard comprising:\n a U-shaped element having an outer side wall, an inner side wall, and at least one biting surface, the outer side wall, the inner side wall, and the at least one biting surface together defining at least one channel configured to receive at least one of the upper teeth and the lower teeth of the subject; \n a plurality of electrodes operatively associated with the U-shaped element, the plurality of electrodes being spaced from one another about the U-shaped element and configured to remain in contact with tissue of the mouth of the subject when the at least one channel of the mouth guard receives at least one of the upper teeth and the lower teeth of the subject; and \n processing circuitry in operative communication with the plurality of electrodes of the mouth guard, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to measure the impedance between respective electrodes of the plurality of electrodes through tissue within the mouth of the subject, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine at least a respiratory rate of the subject based upon the measured impedance between respective electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:\n (a) record a series of time-separated measurements of impedance within the mouth of the subject; and \n (b) calibrate and transform the series of time-separated measurements to determine the respiratory rate of the subject.
