[0002] In today's era of pursuing a healthy lifestyle, people are paying increasing attention to monitoring their own health, with blood glucose levels being a crucial part of daily health management. Traditional shirts, as everyday clothing, only have basic functions such as covering the body and keeping warm, and completely lack the ability to monitor blood glucose levels.

[0003] Previously, people could only understand their blood sugar levels by relying on specialized blood glucose meters. This method was not only cumbersome, requiring specialized equipment such as lancets and test strips, but the blood collection process itself was also painful and uncomfortable for users, especially those who needed to monitor their blood sugar frequently, such as diabetic patients, causing significant psychological burden. Furthermore, traditional blood glucose meters could only perform fixed-point, intermittent measurements, unable to continuously and in real-time track blood sugar changes in daily life. This meant users might miss critical periods of abnormal blood sugar fluctuations, hindering timely adjustments to diet, exercise, or medication plans, and failing to meet the demands of modern, efficient, and precise health management. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that traditional shirts are merely ordinary garments and lack the ability to monitor blood glucose levels, thus failing to provide real-time blood glucose data for individuals with high blood sugar.

The battery is located behind the collar of the shirt body.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible circuit is covered with a waterproof layer and a wear-resistant layer. The waterproof layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene film and the flexible circuit is wrapped in the waterproof layer by a hot pressing process. The wear-resistant layer is disposed on the outer layer of the waterproof layer and is made of polyester fiber fabric and is disposed on the outer layer of the waterproof layer by adhesive.

[0009] Furthermore, the microprocessor is sealed and waterproofed.

[0010] Furthermore, the battery is a flexible thin-film battery and is sealed and waterproofed. The battery is charged with an external charging device using a magnetic contact charging mode.

[0011] Furthermore, one of the cuffs of the shirt body is equipped with a display screen for displaying monitoring results in real time.

[0013] Furthermore, the shirt body is also equipped with an NFC electronic tag, which is fixedly installed on the shirt body and is sealed and waterproof.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention enables real-time, continuous blood glucose monitoring without the need for blood sampling, reducing user discomfort. Furthermore, the inclusion of a display screen and NFC electronic tags further enhances ease of use and data management capabilities. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 The shirt shown is a blood glucose monitoring shirt, which includes a shirt body 1 and a monitoring component for monitoring human blood glucose levels.

[0025] The monitoring component 2 includes a blood glucose sensor 201, a flexible circuit 202, a battery 203, and a microprocessor 204. There are four blood glucose sensors 201, two of which are located in the armpits of the shirt body 1, and the other two are located on the back. The armpits were chosen because they are close to arteries, where blood flow is relatively abundant, allowing for more accurate reflection of blood glucose changes. The back is relatively flat and fits snugly against the body, which also facilitates stable signal acquisition by the sensors. Each blood glucose sensor 201 is electrically connected to the microprocessor 204 and the battery 203 via a flexible circuit 202. The microprocessor 204 is also electrically connected to the battery 203 via a flexible circuit 202. The microprocessor 204 is located on the back of the shirt body 1 and near the hem. Placing the microprocessor 204 here facilitates connection with the various sensor circuits and avoids excessive interference with daily human activities. The battery 203 is located behind the collar of the shirt body 1. The back of the collar is relatively concealed and does not affect the appearance of the shirt. It is also close to the head, making it easy for the user to detect abnormalities such as battery overheating at any time.

[0026] The flexible circuit 202 is covered by a waterproof layer 205 and an abrasion-resistant layer 206. The waterproof layer 205 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, with the flexible circuit 202 encased within it through a hot-pressing process. This hot-pressing process ensures that the PTFE film adheres tightly to the flexible circuit 202, forming a seamless waterproof barrier that effectively prevents sweat penetration. The abrasion-resistant layer 206 is located on the outer layer of the waterproof layer 205 and is made of polyester fiber fabric, which is adhered to the outer layer of the waterproof layer 205 using adhesive. This adhesive method ensures that the abrasion-resistant layer 206 is firmly attached. The polyester fiber fabric is tough and can effectively resist friction and pulling between clothing during daily wear and washing, protecting the internal flexible circuit 202 from damage.

[0027] The microprocessor 204 is sealed and waterproofed. In practice, waterproof sealant can be used to fill and seal all gaps in the microprocessor 204's casing. At the same time, a waterproof nano-coating is sprayed onto the surface of the casing. This double protection ensures that even if the shirt is splashed with water or soaked, the internal circuitry of the microprocessor 204 will not be damaged by moisture and short circuits, thus ensuring the accurate processing and transmission of monitoring data and maintaining the normal operation of the entire monitoring system.

[0028] Battery 203 uses a flexible thin-film battery with a sealed waterproof treatment. For this sealing and waterproofing, the flexible thin-film battery is first encapsulated within a silicone sleeve, which has excellent flexibility and waterproof properties. Then, an additional rubber waterproof plug is installed at the battery interface to ensure complete protection. Battery 203 uses a magnetic contact charging mode to charge external charging devices. A corresponding magnetic charging interface is embedded in the battery 203 located behind the shirt collar. External charging devices only need to be brought close to this location, and the magnetic attraction will allow for precise connection, eliminating the need for cumbersome plugging and unplugging of cables, improving the user experience, and reducing the risk of interface wear and water ingress caused by frequent plugging and unplugging.

[0029] One of the cuffs of the shirt body 1 is equipped with a display screen 207 for real-time display of monitoring results. The cuff location allows the user to easily see the monitoring data with a simple arm raise. The display screen 207 uses a flexible screen, its flexibility allowing it to adapt to the bending motion of the cuff without being damaged by frequent bending. An ultra-thin waterproof and breathable membrane covers the outer layer of the screen to prevent moisture from penetrating the screen. It is electrically connected to the microprocessor 204 and the battery 203 via flexible circuitry 202, ensuring stable and reliable data transmission and power supply.

[0030] The display screen 207 is waterproofed and electrically connected to the microprocessor 204 and the battery 203 via flexible circuit 202, so as to present the blood glucose monitoring results to the user in real time and accurately.

[0031] The shirt body 1 also features an NFC electronic tag 3, which is securely attached to the shirt body 1 and is sealed and waterproof. The NFC electronic tag 3 is sewn onto the inside of the shirt, near the heart, providing stability and minimizing the risk of external pulling. The NFC electronic tag 3 is pre-loaded with personal health information and will not be damaged or lost due to washing or sweating, allowing for quick access by medical personnel or users.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
