Apple's new patent announcement: Vision Pro headset can read brain waves, opening a new era of physical and mental health

News on March 22: Recently, the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office announced a newly obtained patent from Apple. This patent involves a product called Vision. Pro's head-mounted display device has built-in sensors that can read the wearer's brainwave signals. The introduction of this technology indicates that Apple has taken an important step in the deep integration of wearable devices and the medical and health fields.

According to the patent description, Vision The Pro headset uses non-invasive neural interface technology to read the wearer's brainwave signals, and can also monitor the activity of the heart, lungs and brain areas. The collection and analysis of these data will provide the wearer with a more personalized and rich interactive experience. This technology cannot directly read the user's thinking content, but collects brain wave data to evaluate the wearer's mental state and physiological response in specific situations.

Apple clearly stated in the patent that the core application and purpose of this technology is to improve the physical and mental health of the wearer. Through the collection and analysis of data such as brain distraction during learning and panic reactions during games, it can help the wearer better understand their own mental state, thereby adjusting their mentality and improving their mental health. In addition, Apple also hopes to apply this technology to the medical and mental health fields in the future to provide relevant practitioners with a new treatment method.

In addition to its mental health applications, the technology has the potential to help students with ADHD or other learning issues improve concentration and comprehension. The Vision Pro head-mounted device with built-in sensors can monitor the wearer's brain activity in real time, providing educators with more accurate auxiliary information and helping them develop more personalized teaching plans.

In addition, the patent also mentions that the sensors in the headband can also effectively detect the wearer’s body temperature, pulse data, respiratory rate, blood pressure and other physiological indicators. Real-time monitoring and analysis of these data not only helps to timely detect health problems of the wearer, but also provides medical workers with a more comprehensive diagnostic basis.

Overall, Apple’s new patent demonstrates innovative ways to integrate wearable devices with the medical and health fields. With the development of technology and the expansion of its application scope, we can foresee that wearable devices will play a more critical role in daily life in the future. This integration provides users with more convenient and personalized health management methods, and promotes the application of smart devices in health monitoring and management. The launch of this patent also marks the deep integration of the medical field and smart technology, bringing more possibilities and choices to people. It is foreseeable that wearable devices in the future will become important assistants for our healthy life and better
