Abstract
A skin-mounted device (10) comprises an acoustic module (24) and an attachment assembly (16). An acoustically coupling layer (34) affixes and acoustically couples the module (24) to a skin (18).
Claims27
A skin-mounted device comprising:
- an acoustic module;
- and
- an attachment assembly including an acoustically coupling layer, which affixes and acoustically couples the module to a skin.
A method of acoustic monitoring comprising:
- affixing and acoustically coupling an acoustic module with a patient's skin with an acoustic coupling layer;
- transmitting and receiving acoustic signals with the module to monitor a physiological parameter of the patient.
An apparatus comprising:
- a coupling means for affixing and acoustically coupling an acoustic module with a patient's skin;
- and
- a medical means for transmitting and receiving acoustic signals to monitor a physiological parameter of the patient.
A monitoring system comprising:
- an acoustic module which senses a physiological parameter of a patient;
- an attachment assembly including an acoustically coupling layer, which affixes and acoustically couples the module to a skin of the patient;
- and
- a server which collects the sensed patient data and transfers the sensed patient data to a monitoring station.
