Abstract
A method for monitoring an implanted fluorescent light-emitting bead includes adhering and adhesive fluorescence measurement patch to a user's body. The method also includes monitoring the implanted fluorescent light-emitting bead implanted in the user's by emitting light from a light emitter included in the adhesive fluorescence measurement patch and detecting fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent light-emitting bead with a light detector included in the adhesive fluorescence measurement patch.
Claims9
A method for monitoring a fluorescent light-emitting bead implanted in a user's body, the method comprising:
- removably adhering a adhesive fluorescence measurement patch to the user's body in a first position that is in operative alignment with the fluorescent light-emitting bead, wherein the adhesive fluorescence measurement patch includes
- at least one adhesive sheet configured for removable adhesion to the user's body;
- a light emitter attached to the at least one adhesive sheet, the light emitter configured for emitting light that is absorbed by the fluorescent light emitting bead;
- and
- a light detector attached to the at least one adhesive layer, the light detector configured for detecting fluorescent light emitted by the fluorescent light-emitting bead;
- and
- monitoring the fluorescent light-emitting bead implanted in the user's body by emitting light from the light emitter and detecting fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent light-emitting bead with the light detector.
