Abstract:
1. A wireless physiological monitoring device for monitoring physiological data, comprising: a substrate formed of a flexible material that is a biocompatible polymer, the substrate further comprising a first surface that is self-adhesive to affix the substrate to skin of a patient; a wireless data transmission system embedded in the substrate that transmits the physiological data, the wireless data transmission system being a radio-frequency coil system having a coating of a biocompatible polymer material on a first side of the radio frequency coil system and on a second side of the radio frequency coil system and an insulating layer of polymer enclosed between a first and second metal layer, the wireless data transmission system configured to transmit the physiological data to a central monitoring station that is remotely positioned from the wireless physiological monitoring device; a power source embedded in the substrate that generates power and that powers the wireless data transmission system; a multi-electrode array embedded within the substrate to sense biopotentials at a site of application of the wireless physiological monitoring device from which to indicate physiological parameters; a biosensor embedded in the substrate, the biosensor powered by the power source, to measure the physiological parameters; wherein at least one of the wireless data transmission system, the power source, and the biosensor is microfabricated; and a plurality of conductors embedded within the substrate to form flexible electrical interconnections among the data transmission system, the power source, and the biosensor; wherein the wireless physiological monitoring device is non-invasive.
