Device for measuring or stimulating vital signs of a user

A device for measuring vital signs of a user, the device comprising:

• a polymer patch attached to the user;
• a PolyMonIC chip embedded inside the polymer patch to measure vital signs data from the vital signs of the user;
• and
• a base station coupled to the PolymonIC chip to communicate the received vital signs data over the communication network, the base station comprising:
• a controller to generate a frequency and commands for the PolymonIC chip;
• a convertor to filter the frequency and further the convertor modulates the frequency with the commands, further the convertor demodulates the vital signs data received from the PolymonIC chip;
• a first electrode for emitting the modulating frequency as an alternating electric field for influencing the user;
• the PolyMonIC chip comprising:
• a bifilar electrode to receive the alternating electric field and the electrical vital signs from the user;
• a second convertor to rectify the alternating electric field and convert into a DC energy;
• a buffer to store the DC energy in the polymer patch;
• a sub-circuit to extract clock signals from the alternating electric field frequency;
• a plurality of analog electronic blocks arranged to process the received vital sign data into analog values;
• a third convertor for converting the analog values into digital values and vice versa;
• a plurality of digital electronic blocks arranged to perform logical operations on the digital values to generate a digitized result;
• a plurality of electronic switches to control the operation of the analog electronic blocks, the plurality of digital blocks and the other electronic components of the PolyMonIC chip;
• a digital unit for sequencing vital signs values between the analog electronic blocks and the digital electronic blocks utilizing the plurality of electronic switches;
• a bi-directional communication unit for receiving commands from the base station, and further the bi-directional communication unit modulates the processed digitized results received from the plurality of digital electronic blocks into the alternating electric field to be demodulated from the base station convertor;
• a second electrode for closing the circuit with the base station, the user and earth's ground.
