Abstract
Patch-type physiological monitoring apparatus, system and network are disclosed. The patch-type physiological monitoring apparatus includes at least a node, and at least a patch for attaching to a skin surface of a user and for supporting the node on the skin surface through joining therewith, wherein the node includes at least a signal I/O port for externally connecting to at least a sensor or electrode through a connecting wire so as to acquire a physiological signal, and a RF module for transmitting and receiving signal. The apparatus according to the present invention is of light weight and compact size and easily attached to human body through adhesive patches. Through a RF module, the system can wirelessly communicate with corresponding devices without additional wiring. Further, the system can utilize conventional electrodes, patch electrodes and electrode wiring to avoid extra cost for facilities'"'"' renewal and replacement.
