Embodiment Construction

[0026] exist Figure 1A An example implementation of a health monitor patch 100 is depicted in . According to some embodiments, a health monitor patch may be formed from a flexible material and configured to adhere to a person's skin. The health monitor patch may include at least one accelerometer for sensing motion and / or activity of a subject, and / or may include electrodes, one or more lasers, one or more light emitting diodes, one or more Photodiodes, one or more temperature sensors, and / or other sensors for sensing one or more physiological parameters of the subject. The inventors have recognized and appreciated that a flexible patch-type device with electrodes and / or other sensors that can directly contact a subject's skin can provide biophysical parameters about a subject that conventional pedometers may not (e.g., heart waveform, body temperature, respiratory rate, blood oxygen level, blood sugar level, etc.) In order to obtain a reliable cardiac waveform signal, such...

Abstract

A health-monitor patch comprising at least one physiological sensor and a digital processor is configured to be adhered to the skin of a subject. A health-monitor patch may further include an accelerometer and may detect cardiac waveforms, activity performed by the subject, and a body orientation of the subject. A health-monitor patch may be disposable, in some embodiments, and used for outpatientmonitoring. Aspects of noise cancellation and reel-to-reel manufacturing are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present technology relates to wearable devices configured to monitor physiological parameters (heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, etc.) of a subject and / or physical activities performed by the subject. Background technique [0002] There currently exist small sensing devices that can be worn by a user to monitor the physical activities performed by the user. As an example, The ActiPed+ (available from FitLinxx of Shelton, Connecticut, USA) is a small device that clips onto a shoe and is used to monitor the user's walking and running activity. As the user walks or runs, the onboard accelerometer outputs data that is stored on the device for later transfer to the computer system. The computer system can analyze the data to determine the type of activity and calculate various activity parameters (eg, duration of activity, total steps, distance traveled, and calories burned). The results of the data analysis can be presented on ...
