Zusammenfassung:A wearable unit is provided including a plurality of sensors including a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of a patient, a pulse oximeter configured to sense an oxygen saturation of the patient, an accelerometer configured to sense a breathing pattern of the patient, a skin conductance sensor configured to sense a skin conductance of the patient, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor configured to sense an ECG pattern of the patient. The wearable unit may be configured to be worn on the patient's wrist or may be configured to be worn in the patient's ear. Information output by the sensors may be used to determine whether the patient is hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic and to provide an alert the patient or patient's caregiver. Information from the wearable unit may be wirelessly transmitted to an external device.
