Abstract
The present invention relates to a non-invasive health indicator monitoring system including a sensing module, an electric power storage module, and a circuit module to collect health indicator information by contacting with a subject. In addition, the present invention also relates to a method for monitoring health indicator continuously by using the health indicator monitoring system.
Claims37
A noninvasive health indicator monitoring system for use in collecting at least one health indicator information, comprising
- a sensing module to collect health indicator information obtained from at least one health indicator marker wherein the sensing module includes an enzymatic amperometric sensor comprising:
- glucose oxidase, and
- horseradish peroxidase (HRP) combined onto an M13 virus in which the combined HRP-M13 virus is bound to a carbon nanotube;
- a power storage module located on a support board to provide electric power to the sensing module continuously;
- and
- a circuit module connected with the sensing module and the power storage module respectively to drive the sensing module, save or transmit the collected health indicator information, and control power supply of the system.
A contact lens comprising:
- a first layer;
- a second layer on the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises:
- a sensor driving module, and
- a circuit module electrically coupled to the sensor driving module;
- and
- a third layer on the second layer, wherein the third layer comprises:
- an inlet pumping chamber fluidly coupled to a tear inlet,
- a sensor chamber fluidly coupled to the inlet pumping chamber;
- an enzymatic amperometric sensor electrically coupled to the sensor driving module and to the circuit module, wherein the enzymatic amperometric sensor comprises:
- glucose oxidase, and
- horseradish peroxidase (HRP) combined onto an M13 virus in which the combined HRP-M13 virus is bound to a carbon nanotube;
- and
- a outlet pumping chamber fluidly coupled to the sensor chamber and fluidly coupled to a tear outlet.
