Dual purpose wearable patch for measurement and treatment
First Claim
1. A dual purpose wearable patch, comprising:
- a stretchable and permeable substrate;
a sensing unit mounted in the stretchable and permeable substrate, wherein the sensing unit includes a bottom portion to be in direct contact with a user'"'"'s skin, wherein the sensing unit comprises a temperature sensor in thermal contact with the bottom portion to conduct a measurement of a user to produce a measurement signal;
one or more electrodes respectively attached to the stretchable and permeable substrate, wherein the one or more electrodes are configured to be in electrical contact with the user'"'"'s skin and are configured to apply a voltage across the user'"'"'s body;
a circuit substrate on the stretchable and permeable substrate, wherein the circuit substrate comprises a circuit electrically connected with the one or more electrodes and the sensing unit; and
a semiconductor chip mounted on the circuit substrate and in connection with the circuit, wherein the semiconductor chip is configured to receive the measurement signal from the sensing unit, wherein the semiconductor chip is configured to produce a treatment control signal to control the one or more electrodes to apply a voltage across the user'"'"'s body.
