Abstract
The present invention relates to a kit for detecting blood sugar. The present invention also relates to a method for detecting blood sugar according to the kit. The kit comprises an adhesive sweat absorption device comprising: a sweat absorption patch for absorbing sweat of a subject; a detector layer for generating electronic signals according to the sugar level of sweat absorbed by the sweat absorption patch; a signal amplifier for amplifying electronic signals generated by the detector layer; a wireless transmitter for sending amplified electronic signals generated by the signal amplifier to a remote signal receiver, in order to calculate blood sugar level; and a power supply device for supplying electric power required for operation of detector layer.
Claims10
A kit for detecting blood sugar, comprising:
- a sweat absorption patch, comprising a polyurethane membrane layer, a pressure sensitive adhesion layer, a meltdown nonwoven and a hydrogel layer, for absorbing sweat of a subject to be detected via the hydrogel layer;
- a detector layer, placed above the hydrogel layer, for detecting a sugar level of the sweat absorbed by the sweat absorption patch and generating corresponding electronic signals;
- a signal amplifier, coupled to the detector layer, for amplifying the electronic signals generated by the detector layer;
- a wireless transmitter, coupled to the signals amplifier, for sending the amplified electronic signals generated by the signal amplifier to a remote signal receiver, building internally a conversion function between the sugar level of the sweat and a blood sugar level, to calculate the blood sugar level of the subject to be detected;
- and
- a power supply device, placed above the polyurethane membrane of the sweat absorption patch and respectively connected to the detector layer, the signal amplifier and the wireless transmitter, for supplying electric power required for operation thereof.
