Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a first patch including;
a first flexible and/or stretchable substrate, a first adhesive on the first substrate, the first adhesive configured to temporarily attach the first patch to skin of a user, and first electronics on or at least partially in the first substrate, the first electronics including at least one first component to provide therapy to the user and a first wireless radio, and a second patch including;
a second flexible and or stretchable substrate, a second adhesive on the second substrate, the second adhesive configured to temporarily attach the second patch to the skin of the user, and second electronics on or at least partially in the second flexible, stretchable substrate, the second electronics including at least one second component to monitor a first biological parameter of the user and a second wireless radio; and
the second wireless radio communicatively coupled to the first wireless radio of the first electronics, the second wireless radio to provide one or more signals indicative of the first biological parameter to the first patch.

Abstract
Discussed generally herein are methods and devices including or providing a patch system that can help in diagnosing a medical condition and/or provide therapy to a user. A body-area network can include a plurality of communicatively coupled patches that communicate with an intermediate device. The intermediate device can provide data representative of a biological parameter monitored by the patches to proper personnel, such as for diagnosis and/or response.

11. A method comprising:
-
attaching, using a first adhesive on a first flexible and/or stretchable substrate of a first patch, the first patch to skin of a user at a first location; attaching, using a second adhesive on a second flexible and/or stretchable substrate of a second patch, the second patch to the skin of the user at a second, different location; monitoring, using second electronics on or at least partially in the second substrate, a first biological parameter of the user during a first time frame; providing, using a second wireless radio of the second electronics, signals corresponding to the first biological parameter to a first wireless radio of the first patch; and providing, using first electronics on or at least partially in the first substrate and during the first time frame, a therapy to the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A body area network comprising:
-
at least two patches, each of the at least two patches including; a flexible and/or stretchable substrate, an adhesive on the flexible and/or stretchable substrate, the adhesive configured to temporarily attach the patch to skin of a user, and electronics on or at least partially in the flexible and/or stretchable substrate, the electronics including a wireless radio and at least one of a first component to provide therapy to the user and a second component to monitor a first biological parameter of the user, and wherein electronics of a first patch of the at least two patches includes processing circuitry to receive data corresponding to the biological parameter and adjust an amount of the therapy provided by the first patch based on the received data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
