Abstract
Wearable diagnostic and treatment devices for performing point of care diagnostic tests for detecting, quantifying, analyzing, and treating at least one biological or environmental condition. Such testing devices are designed to provide rapid, quantitative test results in a point-of-care setting or the like where, in the past, only qualitative or semi-quantitative results have typically been available. Likewise, such devices may eliminate or replace expensive, centralized clinical testing equipment and technical personnel. Such testing devices may include automated data reporting and decision support. Further, such devices may include drug delivery or other treatment options.
Claims22
A wearable device for monitoring and treatment of a medical condition, comprising:
- a device housing and means for securing the housing to a user;
- a sensor component;
- a user interface disposed on a primary face of the device housing;
- a software component operatively coupled to the sensor component and configured to display data upon the user interface;
- a communication component operatively coupled to the software component;
- and
- a treatment component disposed within the device housing or securing means and operatively coupled to the software component, configured to deliver medication to the user.
A method of detecting, monitoring, and/or treating a medical condition at the point of care, the method comprising:
- providing a wearable device configured to detect, monitor, and/or treat the medical condition;
- monitoring at least one biological or environmental, signal;
- assessing data obtained by monitoring the at least one biological or environmental signal;
- determining treatment for the medical condition;
- and
- treating the medical condition.
