MECHANOCHROMIC ARRAY PATCH AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486850 titled 'MECHANOCHROMIC ARRAY PATCH AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
The mechanochromic array patch described in the patent application changes color in response to strain applied to the skin surface during musculoskeletal movement.
- The patch includes stretchable mechanochromic color-changing parts, a polymer connection part, and a water-insoluble support part.
- The polymer connection part has a higher elastic modulus than the color-changing parts.
Potential Applications: - Monitoring muscle movement during physical therapy or rehabilitation - Providing real-time feedback on posture and movement for athletes or individuals with musculoskeletal conditions
Problems Solved: - Lack of visual feedback on muscle strain during movement - Difficulty in monitoring and adjusting posture in real-time
Benefits: - Non-invasive way to track muscle strain and movement - Encourages proper posture and movement habits - Customizable design for different body areas and applications
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Mechanochromic Array Patch for Real-Time Muscle Strain Monitoring" This technology could be utilized in sports performance monitoring, physical therapy clinics, and wearable health devices market.
Prior Art: No prior art information available at this time.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in mechanochromic materials and wearable sensor technologies to enhance the patch's performance and accuracy.
Questions about Mechanochromic Array Patch: 1. How does the mechanochromic array patch differentiate between different levels of muscle strain? 2. Can the patch be integrated into existing wearable devices for seamless monitoring of muscle movement?
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a mechanochromic array patch that implements, as a color change, a strain applied to a skin surface due to musculoskeletal movement. The mechanochromic array patch may include stretchable mechanochromic color-changing parts, a polymer connection part that connects the mechanochromic color-changing parts, and a water-insoluble support part. The polymer connection part may have a higher elastic modulus compared to the mechanochromic color-changing parts.
