Wearable ocular health monitoring dress part and thereof
03/7/2014 Dr Krithica Srinivasan Ms. Mredula Dr. Ramesh S. Ve
A wearable necktie comprising at least one sensor, a control circuitry and a notification device. The sensor is configured to sense collar pressure. And the control circuitry is configured to alarm when the collar pressure is greater than the threshold value. Also, the notification device is configured to set off a notification when the alarm is set high. In one embodiment, set of sensors are mounted along the length of the wearable necktie and the collar pressure is determined from at least one sensor nearest to the collar. In another embodiment, at least one sensor is mounted such that it may slide along the length of the tie to locate near the collar for sensing the collar pressure.
