[0001] SPECIFICATION

[0002] INTEGRATED RECONFIGURABLE SMART BIOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND

[0003] BIOPHYSICAL SENSORS PLATFORM

[0004] Technical Field:

[0005] This invention relates to a integrated reconfigurable smart biophysiological and biophysical sensors platform that can be used in biomedical measurements to increase patient comfort, reduce workload, facilitate data analysis, and obtain more accurate and faster results.

[0006] Background of the Invention:

[0007] Biomedical instrumentation is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, development and use of devices that enable the measurement and analysis of various biological signals in order to monitor, diagnose and treat physiological processes in the human body. These systems collect electrical, chemical, mechanical or optical data from inside or outside the body, convert them into digital signals and analyze these signals. Devices such as ECG, EEG, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters and biosensors are the main examples of biomedical instrumentation. The technologies used in this field contribute to improving healthcare, making diagnosis and treatment processes more reliable and precise. Currently, these measurements are usually made from individual devices. Some similar devices can perform more than one measurement.

[0008] Patent application numbered US2007118037A1 describes “Electronic blood pressure monitor capable of storing measurement data”. In an electronic blood pressure monitor, an input of measurement condition specifying information for specifying a measurement condition at blood pressure measurement among a plurality of measurement conditions, such as an input of time information, is received. Based on the received measurement condition specifying information, at least one measurement condition of a patient at blood pressure measurement is determined. A calculated blood pressure value is recorded by being associated with the measurement condition determined as such.

[0009] The patent application numbered WO2024107854A1 describes “Restraining device with ecg sensor and wireless connectivity”. A restraining device, and method thereof, for shackling first and second wrists of an individual with lockable first and second cuffs extending from opposite ends of a link that electrically isolates the first and second cuffs, where the restraining device includes an electrocardiogram (EKG) sensor having a first input electrically coupled to an electrically conductive portion of the first cuff, such as a first double strand adapted to contact the first wrist, and a second input electrically coupled to an electrically conductive portion of the second cuff, such as a second double strand adapted to contact the second wrist. The restraining device further includes a wireless communications module configured to send EKG data and / or alert messages to an electronic device.

[0010] The inventions mentioned above relate to devices that measure blood pressure and electrical activity in the heart. Since these devices measure different activities in the body, their operating principles are different. Therefore, they can be used separately. However, this means extra labor and time for both the person being measured and the person doing the measurement. In conclusion, it is a burden for both sides.

[0011] As a result, there is a need for a new technology that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

[0012] Summary of the Invention:

[0013] The present invention is a reconfigurable platform of smart bio-physiological and biophysical sensors that can overcome the above mentioned disadvantages, characterized by the presence of a variety of sensors and probes, an analog-to-digital converter, a microprocessor, the ability to transmit data through a communication module, the ability to store data, the ability to perform many tests from a single device, continuous and comprehensive monitoring of the patient, and ease of use. The invention improves patient comfort because all data can be collected with a single device instead of using separate devices for many different measurements. This makes the patient more comfortable, especially in situations where long-term monitoring is required. An integrated device saves time and costs; healthcare professionals can easily monitor each parameter from a single system instead of different devices, which contributes to making clinical processes more efficient. The collection and processing of data by a central processor ensures synchronization between measurements, so that the relationships between different biomedical parameters can be analyzed more clearly. At the same time, this type of device has a smaller footprint, increasing portability and saving space in hospital or clinical environments. Furthermore, patient data can be managed and analyzed more securely thanks to features such as bulk data storage and transmission through a single device. The integration of such systems increases efficiency and accuracy in healthcare, while significantly improving patient care.

[0014] The invention is easy to install thanks to the easy fixing of the constituent parts to each other, and the costs are low due to the short assembly time. The invention is also robust.
