MASK-BASED DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WITH ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288420 titled 'MASK-BASED DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WITH ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES
The abstract describes a mask-based diagnostic device with accessibility features, including a face mask that creates a confined local environment containing exhaled breath vapor. An exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collector converts the vapor into a liquid sample, which is then tested for a target molecule using an electronic biosensor.
- Face mask creates a confined environment for exhaled breath vapor
- EBC collector converts vapor into a liquid sample
- EBC testing unit includes an electronic biosensor for target molecule testing
- Printed circuit board supports the biosensor and other electronics
- Fluid conductor transports the EBC sample to the biosensor
Potential Applications: - Medical diagnostics - Environmental monitoring - Personal health tracking
Problems Solved: - Efficient collection and testing of exhaled breath condensate - Accessibility for users with limited mobility
Benefits: - Non-invasive testing method - Quick and accurate results - User-friendly design
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Mask-Based Diagnostic Device for Medical and Environmental Applications" This technology could be used in medical facilities, research laboratories, and environmental monitoring stations to improve diagnostic capabilities and streamline testing processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the electronic biosensor work to test for target molecules in the EBC sample? The electronic biosensor detects specific molecules in the EBC sample by measuring changes in electrical signals when the target molecule is present.
2. What are the potential implications of using this mask-based diagnostic device in medical settings? This technology could revolutionize the way certain medical conditions are diagnosed and monitored, leading to more efficient and accurate healthcare outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a mask-based diagnostic device with accessibility features, includes a face mask, where an inside of the face mask defines during use a confined local environment that includes breath vapor exhaled from the lungs of a user. an exhaled breath condensate (ebc) collector has a condensate forming surface for converting exhaled breath vapor into an ebc liquid sample. an ebc testing unit tests the ebc sample for a target molecule, where the ebc sample contains water and the target molecule, the ebc testing unit includes a printed circuit board supporting a semiconductor packaged electronic biosensor in electrical communication with power, analysis and communications electronics, a fluid conductor for conducting the ebc sample to the electronic biosensor.
