US12599336B2 - Earring-Based Continuous Physiological Monitoring Wearable Device
Summary
USPTO granted patent US12599336B2 to inventors Zhang, Liu, Ji, and Fu for a wearable earring device with integrated sensors for continuous physiological monitoring. The apparatus comprises an earring body with a sensor module positioned to collect biological signals at the auricle, including tonoarteriogram (TAG) signals. The patent application was filed November 29, 2022, and the grant issued April 14, 2026, with 9 claims.
What changed
USPTO granted patent US12599336B2 for a wearable earring apparatus designed for continuous physiological parameter monitoring. The invention comprises an earring body containing a sensor module that collects biological signals at the auricle, which are processed through a pre-built physiological system model or deep machine learning model to extract tonoarteriogram (TAG) signals and other physiological parameters.
For manufacturers and technology developers, this patent establishes exclusive intellectual property rights for earring-form wearable devices that capture TAG signals using ear-based sensors combined with machine learning analytics. The design enables non-invasive, long-term physiological monitoring without skin damage, representing a novel approach in wearable medical device technology.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a wearable apparatus for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters. The invention relates to the field of physiological parameters monitoring technology. The wearable apparatus for the continuous monitoring of physiological parameters comprises an earring body and a monitoring device; wherein the monitoring device comprises a sensor module, the sensor module being arranged at the earring body for obtaining a biological signal at an auricle; the biological signal is to be inputted to a pre-built physiological system model or a deep machine learning model to obtain a physiological parameter; the physiological parameter comprising tonoarteriogram (TAG) signals. The invention realizes the convenience of wearing by a user without affecting normal activities of the user, further allows performing of a long-term monitoring of the user and improving monitoring accuracy while reducing damages to the skin of the ear.
