RECONFIGURABLE WEARABLE HEALTH MONITORING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18608478 titled 'RECONFIGURABLE WEARABLE HEALTH MONITORING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a reconfigurable wearable health monitoring device that can be attached to a smartwatch and worn by a user. The device uses radio frequency sensing technology to monitor the user's health parameters.
- The device includes a radio frequency (RF) sensing module with transmitting and receiving antennas to transmit and receive signals under the user's skin.
- A semiconductor chip converts low-power RF signals into high-power signals for better accuracy.
- A processor converts the signals into output information, which is then transmitted to the smartwatch via a wireless communication module.
- An alignment feature helps align the antennas over a target vein without moving the smartwatch.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes radio frequency sensing technology for health monitoring.
- Converts low-power signals into high-power signals for accuracy.
- Aligns antennas over target veins without moving the smartwatch.
Potential Applications:
- Remote health monitoring.
- Fitness tracking.
- Medical diagnostics.
Problems Solved:
- Accurate health monitoring without invasive procedures.
- Convenient and wearable technology for continuous monitoring.
Benefits:
- Real-time health monitoring.
- Non-invasive and convenient for users.
- Seamless integration with smartwatches.
Commercial Applications:
The technology can be used in the healthcare industry for remote patient monitoring, fitness tracking devices, and medical diagnostic tools. It has the potential to revolutionize how health parameters are monitored and managed.
Questions about Wearable Health Monitoring Device:
1. How does the device ensure accurate monitoring of health parameters? 2. What are the potential challenges in aligning the antennas over target veins without moving the smartwatch?
Original Abstract Submitted
A reconfigurable wearable health monitoring device detachably attached to a smartwatch to be worn by a user. The device includes a radio frequency (RF) sensing module having at least one transmitting antenna configured to transmit radio frequency signals underneath the skin surface of the user; at least one receiving antenna configured to receive reflected low-power radio frequency signals; and a semiconductor chip configured to convert the low power radio frequency signals into high power radio frequency signals. A processor is configured to convert the digital signals into output information. A wireless communication module coupled with the processor is configured to transmit the output information to the smartwatch to reflect the user's health parameters. An alignment feature is configured with a rotating disc, an array, or a slider array to align the transmitting antenna and receiving antenna over a target vein without moving the smartwatch.
