The BioPod® Technology Universe
Going Where No Hearables Technology has Gone.
BioPod® Technology is a U.S. patented wearable sensor system mounted in the user’s ear which provides feedback through a direct communication system which allows technology-based sectors to communicate directly with their peers, patients and customers. The BioPod® ear sensors, along with other associated sensors (worn or implanted) and communication system, make it possible to remotely monitor biometric vital signs including Heart Rate, Temperature, Oxygen Saturation, and End Tidal CO2 (ETCO2). Feedback can be accessed continuously or intermittently with 24/7/365 direct communications available between the user(s) and a wide range of affiliates.
BioPod® Technology offers a broad range of applications for the following fields: IoMT, Fitness & Sport, Remote Patient Monitoring, Healthcare/Homecare, Big Data, Smart Home, Military, AI and Mixed Reality, Video Gaming and more.

BioPod® Smart Home Control
The BioPod® Hearable Home
Smart Home information and communication system would be enhanced with the addition of biometrics feedback from all individuals (and even pets) in the Smart Home Control where the BioPod® Hearable Platform Technology would add value and differentiation to “Home” and may become the conduit for numerous mixed reality and IoT applications.
BioPod® Home Systems provides direct connectivity between the medical professional, healthcare systems, including rehabilitation services along with mixed reality applications.
BioPod® Technology’s Platform Biometric Feedback sources data from our proprietary “earbud” sourcing and communication system could be utilized to be incorporated to enhance leaders in the Smart Home Control providers with upgrades to their existing systems or by providing a “home hospital suite” where BioPod® with our proposed “pod” docking station would be the technical support module for the home care patients.
The BioPod® Big Data Network
Geolocating Documents Personal Preferences along with Human Factors to Enhance Mixed Reality, AI, AR and Deep Learning Applications
Direct to Consumer Marketing & Advertising Programming
BioPod’s Big Data Network becomes a refined data source for AI, and AR applications, where the BioPod® earbud w/GPS and communications features eventually becomes a ubiquitous, but valuable component to collect human factors and location data leading to AI applications. With the personalized deep learning capabilities provided by GPS location coupled with personalized biometrics, BioPod® will become an effective “method for targeting advertising” while also becoming a “method for interest-based social networking” which is offered in the current BioPod® Divisional Patent Application.
“Additionally, “special offers” may be interactively directed to the user from suppliers and/or retailers either in a retail store environment while the user is shopping, or shopping alerts offered by web sites, or relating to the activity-type selected by the user, and possibly leading to connectivity to social networks for walkers, runners, cyclists or other relevant groups to learn about events, blog connections, and special offers,” etc.
Video Gaming
BioPod® Biometric Feedback for Enhanced Real-Time Communication and Competition for Gamers
BioPod® Technology may add a proprietary distinction and value proposition to the video game industry where direct communications and monitoring of gamer’s vitals adds an infinite number of game play possibilities where the game becomes reactive and dynamic in response to the data collected by BioPod® Technology. This reactive component creates the ability for future gaming architecture to be fluid and provide an ever-changing gaming environment which extends the interest and playability of each game that incorporates BioPod® Technology into their programming architecture. Imagine a game that could change course simply based on the changing data from each user. This addition to options within a game provides powerful exponential possibilities to the challenges available in game play. Another additional possibility would be that a gamer’s vitals could be displayed within the game to ramp up the challenge between competing gamers. BioPod® Technology provides a direct communications link between gamers and enthusiasts with “The BioPod® Technology Community” through real-time encouragement and responses to individual and team players.

Technology, Meet Opportunity
- Tech giants, Amazon, Apple and Google each have high-priority ear-based hearables projects currently in the pipeline.* Voice Assistant technology has Google, Apple and Amazon positioning to include entire smartphone capabilities in an earpiece. The combination of voice command and Hearables technology may become the primary interface for mobile technology and eventually may supplant smartphones.
- Digital Health Market Worth $549.7 Billion by 2028 Remote Patient Monitoring Market Size 2022 $52.4B, Market Size 2028 projected to be $229.4B
- The global telehealth market size was valued at USD 122.2 billion in 2023, driven by increased access to healthcare and increasing adoption of mHealth across the globe. The market size is forecasted for 2032 to be USD 1155.3 billion.
- The global remote patient monitoring market is estimated to grow from USD 52.9 Bn in 2022 to USD 229.4 Bn by 2028 at a CAGR of 27.7% during the forecast period
- As of 2023, 65,636,490 Americans are enrolled in Medicare. This means roughly 25.4% of all 258.3 million U.S. adults are enrolled in Medicare.
Reason for the Opportunity
Worldwide, there are currently no multi-channel remote monitoring systems for healthcare and other sectors which allow for cost-savings for healthcare organizations and insurers and time-saving potential for healthcare professionals allowing for increased number of patients that may be treated and monitored with a resultant increase in profitability and efficiency. One of the chief concerns that faces families today is being informed of the health of family members who live in different locations, for any number of reasons, can’t easily be checked and monitored. BioPod®Technology provides the possibility of creating a network with you, your family and healthcare professionals to deliver the best care available.
BioPod®Platform Technology provides the ability to collect truly meaningful vitals data and provide multi-channel communication between healthcare professional and patients to coaches and athletes.

At BioPod® Technology, the first thing we learned was how to listen.
Beginning in 2009, we began our journey developing the concepts that would become our IP Suite of Hearables/Wearables Patents. Long before the term “Hearables” was coined, we were hearing something different, something revolutionary. BioPod®Technology’s Suite of Hearables/Wearable Patents and IP can help you supercharge your product development with feature sets soley available with Biopod®Technology patents.
The Wearables category has seen its share of products rushed to market in an attempt to capitalize on meaningless fads and trends. The evidence of their failure is in the news daily. However, wearables technology will be a defacto standard for inclusion in customer acquisition, interface and interaction. BioPod®Platform Technology provides the ability to collect truly usable and meaningful vitals data and provide multi-channel communication between healthcare professionals and patients to coaches and athletes and anything in between. The appeal and potential of BioPod®Technology extends across many verticals and applications with life-saving and game-changing technology. Following the breadcrumbs, we believe you could see the potential licensing opportunities that exist for those interested in the acquisition of the BioPod®Technology Suite of Patents and Intellectual Property.
We would appreciate collaborating with you to look outside the box to see if BioPod® may be a key component in developing your next big thing and “game changer” for your market. Opportunity is not always recognized at first glance. That’s why we would respectfully request further communication and discussions with you as soon as possible. As we said in the introduction, “BioPod® Technology Builds Doors”, doors of opportunity and we invite and encourage you to walk through them.
Thank you for your consideration.
