Abstract
A health-monitor patch comprising at least one physiological sensor and digital processor is configured to be adhered to the skin of a subject. A health-monitor patch may further include an accelerometer and may detect cardiac waveforms, activity performed by the subject, and a body orientation of the subject. A health-monitor patch may be disposable, in some embodiments, and used for outpatient monitoring. Aspects of noise cancellation and reel-to-reel manufacturing are also described.
Claims20
A monitor for a subject, comprising:
- circuitry configured to receive a signal and process the signal to monitor at least one characteristic of the subject;
- and
- a flexible polymer casing extending around the circuitry to form a waterproof enclosure for the circuitry, wherein the flexible polymer casing is infused with a conductive material at at least one location to form at least one infused electrode that extends from an exterior of the flexible polymer casing to an interior of the flexible polymer casing, and wherein the at least one infused electrode is coupled to the circuitry so as to allow the signal to pass from outside the flexible polymer casing to the circuitry.
A method for making a monitor for a subject, comprising:
- providing circuitry configured to receive a signal and process the signal to monitor at least one characteristic of the subject;
- forming a flexible polymer casing extending around the circuitry to form a waterproof enclosure for the circuitry;
- infusing the flexible polymer casing with a conductive material at at least one location to form at least one infused electrode that extends from an exterior of the flexible polymer casing to an interior of the flexible polymer casing;
- and
- coupling the at least one infused electrode to the circuitry so as to allow the signal to pass from outside the flexible polymer casing to the circuitry.
