PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL MONITORING DEVICE AND MOUNTING METHOD THEREFOR
A physiological signal monitoring device includes a base, a biosensor and a transmitter. The biosensor includes a sensing section. The transmitter includes a connection part. The connection part and the signal output section cooperatively form a connection portion after the transmitter moving from an initial position to an assembled position. A safety gap is formed between the transmitter and the biosensor. When the transmitter moves from the initial position toward the assembled position, the safety gap serves to prevent at least one of the connection part of the transmitter and the signal output section of the biosensor from collision.
Monitoring device for attachment to a surface of a subject
The invention provides a monitoring device (1) for attachment to a surface of a subject. The device comprises a data collector (2) and a processor (3) as two separate parts which can be detachably joined such that physiological signals which are detected by the data collector can be transferred to the processor for signal processing and provision of monitoring data. At least one of the data collector and the processor comprises a transducer which can convert the physiological signal to a data signal which can be processed electronically. The data collector is adapted for adhesive contact with a skin surface, and may comprise an adapter (6) for the detachable attachment of the processor.

The present embodiments relate generally to apparatuses, systems, and methods for deploying a medical device to skin of a host. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may be directed to removing a liner for a medical device so that the medical device may couple to the skin of the host. The medical device may comprise an on-skin wearable medical device.
Systems and methods for physiological signal collection
A compact integrated patch may be used to collect physiological data. The patch may be wireless. The patch may be utilized in everyday life as well as in clinical environments. Data acquired by the patch and/or external devices may be interpreted and/or be utilized by healthcare professionals and/or computer algorithms (e.g., third party applications). Data acquired by the patch may be interpreted and be presented for viewing to healthcare professionals and/or ordinary users.
AN ASSEMBLY FOR MOUNTING A SENSOR ON SKIN
There is provided an assembly (500) for mounting a sensor (502) on the skin of a subject. The assembly comprises a part (504) configured to contact with a first surface (506) of a sensor unit (501) comprising the sensor when the sensor unit (501) is mounted in the assembly (500). The assembly (500) also comprises at least one resilient member (508) extending from an outer portion of the part (504) and configured to bias a second surface (510) of the sensor unit (501) against the skin of the subject when the sensor unit (501) is mounted in the assembly (500).
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING A SWEAT ANALYTE MEASUREMENT
Provided is a system for correcting a sweat analyte measurement for temperature. The system comprises a sweat collector (106) for collecting sweat from skin (102). The collected sweat is drawn from the sweat collector to an outlet (110) via a capillary (108). The sweat is drawn through the capillary by capillary action and evaporation of the sweat from the outlet. The evaporation of the sweat from the outlet depends on the temperature. A flow sensor (112) measures a flow rate of the sweat being drawn through the capillary. An analyte sensor (114) obtains the sweat analyte measurement. The system further comprises a controller which is configured to determine a temperature from the measured flow rate. The sweat analyte measurement is then corrected using the determined temperature. Further provided is a method for correcting a temperature-dependent sweat analyte measurement
Patch-sized fluid delivery systems and methods
A patch-sized fluid delivery device may include a reusable portion and a disposable portion. The disposable portion may include components that come into contact with the fluid, while the reusable portion may include only components that do not come into contact with the fluid. Redundant systems, such as redundant controllers, power sources, motor actuators, and alarms, may be provided. Alternatively or additionally, certain components can be multi-functional, such a microphones and loudspeakers that may be used for both acoustic volume sensing and for other functions and a coil that may be used as both an inductive coupler for a battery recharger and an antenna for a wireless transceiver. Various types of network interfaces may be provided in order to allow for remote control and monitoring of the device.
Seizure detection device
A method of detecting a seizure includes collecting volatile organic compounds with a collector material of a collector; separating a mixture of the volatile organic compounds into its constituent chemicals with a gas chromatography column; ionizing the constituent chemicals to create ionized chemicals and detecting the ionized chemicals; and analyzing the ionized chemicals to identify seizure-indicative volatile organic compounds.
Wearable heartbeat and breathing waveform continuous monitoring system
Apparatus and method are provided to collect and analyze heartbeat waveforms. In one novel aspect, the heartbeat waveforms are collected from wearable devices. In one embodiment, the wearable device collects heartbeat waveforms by attaching the device to the patient for a long period and sends the collected waveforms to a receiver through a wireless network. In another novel aspect, an application program is installed in a smart device to receive heartbeat waveforms from one or more wearable devices. The application program either relays the received waveform to a remote processing center or processes the data before sending. In another novel aspect, an analysis method compares received patient's current heartbeat waveform with historic data. In one embodiment, the historic data are stored in a cloud-based database. In another novel aspect, the remote processing center is an open platform data center, which takes in certified third party inputs.
WEARABLE MONITOR
The present disclosure relates to a wearable monitor device and methods and systems for using such a device. In certain embodiments, the wearable monitor records cardiac data from a mammal and extracts particular features of interest. These features are then transmitted and used to provide health-related information about the mammal.
