Abstract
A compact integrated patch may be used to collect physiological data. The patch may be wireless. The patch may comprise a plurality of sensors, each sensor configured to collect different health related data from a subject to which the patch is attached, and a communication interface configured to wirelessly and directly communicate with a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is capable of running a plurality of applications, wherein each application of said plurality is configured to utilize data from different subsets of sensors from the plurality of sensors, to provide different monitoring activities for the subject. The patch may be utilized in everyday life as well as in clinical environments.
Claims20
A patch comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, supported by the patch, wherein each sensor is configured to collect health related data from a subject to which the patch is attached;
- a communication interface configured to wirelessly and directly communicate with a mobile device capable of running a plurality of applications, wherein a first application of the plurality is configured to utilize health data from a first subset of the plurality of sensors on the patch, and wherein a second application of the plurality is configured to utilize health related data from a second subset of the plurality of sensors on the patch different from the first subset of sensors;
- and
- one or more processors within the patch configured to selectively activate one or more sensors of the first subset or the second subset to collect the health related data from the selected one or more sensors of the first subset or the second subset in response to a communication with the mobile device based at least in part on a selection of the first or the second application from the plurality of applications running on the mobile device,
- wherein the communication interface is further configured to transmit the collected health related data.
