| 1. Heart condition monitoring apparatus, comprising:
a pair of glasses;
a plurality of light emitting diodes on the glasses for emitting light onto a surface;
a plurality of photosensors on the glasses for receiving reflected light;
electronic circuitry on the glasses and connected to the plurality of photosensors for receiving signals from the plurality
of photosensors;
a power source on the glasses and connected to the plurality of light emitting diodes, the plurality of photosensors and the
electronic circuitry for providing power; and
wherein the plurality of photosensors are positioned in a plane offset from the plane of light emission from the light emitting
diodes,
further comprising a plurality of lamps on the pair of glasses for indicating a sensed condition of a user.
