Abstract
Utilization of a contact device placed on the front part of the eye in order to detect physical and chemical parameters of the body as well as the non-invasive delivery of compounds according to these physical and chemical parameters, with signals preferably being transmitted continuously as electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared and the like. One of the parameters to be detected includes non-invasive blood analysis utilizing chemical changes and chemical products that are found in the front part of the eye and in the tear film. A transensor mounted in the contact device laying on the cornea or the surface of the eye is capable of evaluating and measuring physical and chemical parameters in the eye including non-invasive blood analysis.
Claims20
A contact device for placement in contact with a portion of a live body, said contact device comprising:
- a contact surface for engagement with a portion of a live body, and
- a sensor mounted on said contact surface, said contact surface being positionable so that bodily fluids encounter said sensor, said sensor generating a signal indicative of a property of the encountered bodily fluids, said signal being transmitted externally of the live body for analysis of the signal and indication of a status of certain bodily functions.
A contact device for placement in contact with an eye, said contact device comprising:
- a contact surface for engaging a surface of the eye, and
- a sensor mounted on said contact surface, said sensor being positionable under an eye lid of the eye.
A contact device for placement in contact with an eye, said contact device comprising:
- a contact surface for engaging a surface of the eye, and
- a sensor mounted on said contact surface, said sensor producing a signal indicative of a bodily function, said signal being transmitted away from the eye for analysis and indication of a status of the bodily function.
