Base and Detection Apparatus for Wearable Health Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable health detection devices, such as smart wristbands, are limited in size and functionality, making them unsuitable for detecting larger body parts like the heart area effectively when detached from the wearable device.
Innovation Solution
A base with a fixing member and an extension member that allows a detection apparatus to be installed, forming an integral structure with the base, enabling the transmission of electric signals for wider detection coverage, including the heart area, while maintaining portability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the detection apparatus is made compact for wearable requirements, then portability and wearability are improved, but detection coverage area is reduced making it unsuitable for detecting large body parts
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into two independent but compatible components: a compact detection apparatus and a separate base. The detection apparatus maintains its small size for wearability, while the base provides the extended detection coverage area when used in standalone mode. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall system versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection apparatus is designed with universal functionality to operate in multiple modes: worn on the wrist as part of a wearable device, placed on the base for detecting larger body parts, or carried portably. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by allowing the same compact device to serve both wearable purposes and extended detection needs through different usage configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the detection apparatus is detached from the wearable device, then independence and portability are improved, but detection coverage remains limited for large body parts
Solution Approach 1:
The base serves as an intermediary structure that bridges the gap between the compact detection apparatus and the requirement for large detection coverage. When the detection apparatus is detached from the wearable device, it can be placed on the base, which provides electrical connection and structural support, enabling the small detector to monitor large body parts through extended sensor arrays or multiple detection points on the base.
3Ease of operation
If the detection apparatus is made small for wearable use, then ease of wear and portability are improved, but functionality for detecting large body parts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a static, single-function design to a dynamic, multi-configurable system. The detection apparatus can dynamically switch between being integrated into a wearable device for wrist monitoring and being placed on the base for body part detection. This dynamic adaptability allows the same compact device to optimize its functionality based on the specific detection task at hand.
