Abstract
A physical assessment parameter sensing device includes a layer attachable to a patient, a sensing unit operable to detect a physical assessment parameter of the patient, and an antenna connected to the circuit and operable to receive and transmit a radio frequency signal. The antenna is movably disposed within the sensing device. In certain examples, the sensing device includes an enclosure within which the antenna is movably received.
Claims20
A physical assessment parameter sensing patch comprising:
- a first layer including an adhesive configured to be removably applied to a surface of a subject;
- a circuit fixed relative to the first layer and including a sensor unit and a communication unit, the sensor unit operable to detect one or more physical assessment parameters of the subject, and the communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with a reading device;
- and
- an antenna electrically connected to the communication unit and configured to receive and transmit a radio frequency signal, the antenna movably disposed within the sensing patch relative to the first layer.
