Embodiment Construction

[0023] In this application, a temperature recording patch ("patch") is described as being to be worn on the body and will track the temperature of the patient's body over time and collect this temperature in memory. For example, if figure 1As shown in , the patch 10 may be worn on the body of a patient 12, such as on the forehead, torso, arm, leg, or other body part. Conventional body temperature devices today only measure body temperature at a single point in time. In contrast, the patch 10 device described herein can be applied as a patch and worn for a long period of time to provide a large number of measurements, such as a 12, 16 or 24 hour period (although longer or shorter periods are contemplated) time period). The patch 10 preferably includes a medically approved skin-contacting adhesive suitable for application to the user's skin, although various generally flexible and compressible materials may also be utilized. Additionally or alternatively, the patch 10 may hav...

Abstract

An actively-powered temperature data logger patch with wireless data communication includes a sealed, flexible battery comprising a printed electrochemical cell with an anode and a cathode, and a flexible circuit including a microprocessor, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of a target subject, a wireless communication transceiver and an antenna. In one example, the flexible battery and flexible circuit are arranged in a covering, stacked arrangement between first and second substrate layers, and the patch configured to conform to a curved surface of the target subject. In another example, the patch is used in an actively-powered medical system for monitoring a body temperature of a patient, and includes an adhesive configured to be removably applied to skin of the patient. An external computing device is capable of two way communication with the wireless communication transceiver of the patch via an electromagnetic field.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 721,261, filed November 1, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Over the past 100 years or so, the design and assembly process of electrical or electronic circuits has changed significantly. About 100 years ago, DC powered circuits were hardwired and hand soldered in boxes. High current electronic or electrical components are secured to the box and they are then manually connected by hand soldering wires of sufficient diameter to carry the required current and voltage. In many of these circuits, large size multiple voltage batteries are placed in the battery compartments, which are then also hand soldered into the circuit. A typical battery size might be a 6 volt lantern battery or a battery pack made up of multiple 6" sized unit cells or maybe even some smaller sized unit cells. When t...
