MEASUREMENT SYSTEM USING BODY MOUNTED PHYSICALLY DECOUPLED SENSOR
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring body signals comprising:
- a single sensor patch to be directly mounted to a body of an individual user to be monitored, said single sensor patch having a sensor element capable of sensing a condition of the user'"'"'s body and providing a sensed signal based on the sensed condition of the user'"'"'s body, and a sensor wireless transmitter capable of receiving the sensed signal and transmitting the sensed signal; and
,a base station located remote from said single sensor patch, said base station having a base station wireless receiver capable of receiving the sensed signal directly from said sensor wireless transmitter in real-time, and a base station processor capable of analyzing the received sensed signal and determining the condition of the user'"'"'s body based on the analyzed sensed signal.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a user'"'"'s body has a single sensor patch directly affixed to the user'"'"'s body. The sensor senses a condition of the user'"'"'s body and transmits the sensed signal directly to a base station located remote from the sensor. The sensor can alternatively transmit the sensed signal to a receiver located in the user'"'"'s helmet. The helmet optionally includes a power module which wirelessly provides power to the sensor. Since the sensor is affixed to the user, and not the helmet, it will only record impact to the user'"'"'s body. Once the helmet is removed from the user'"'"'s head, the sensor is powered off or can remain charged for a short period of time by a chargeable power source to record any subsequent impact to the user'"'"'s body.
