Adherent device with multiple physiological sensors
First Claim
1. An adherent device to monitor a patient for an extended period, the device comprising:
- a breathable tape comprising a porous material with an adhesive coating to adhere the breathable tape to a skin of the patient;
at least one electrode affixed to the breathable tape and capable of electrically coupling to a skin of the patient;
a printed circuit board connected to the breathable tape to support the printed circuit board with the breathable tape when the tape is adhered to the patient;
electronic components electrically connected to the printed circuit board and coupled to the at least one electrode to measure physiologic signals of the patient;
an electronics housing adhered to at least one of the electronics components or the printed circuit board; and
a breathable cover disposed over the circuit board and electronic components such that the electronics housing is disposed between the cover and electronics components, wherein the breathable cover is connected to at least one of the electronics components, the printed circuit board or the breathable tape.

Abstract
An adherent device to monitor a patient for an extended period comprises a breathable tape. The breathable tape comprises a porous material with an adhesive coating to adhere the breathable tape to a skin of the patient. At least one electrode is affixed to the breathable tape and capable of electrically coupling to a skin of the patient. A printed circuit board is connected to the breathable tape to support the printed circuit board with the breathable tape when the tape is adhered to the patient. Electronic components electrically are connected to the printed circuit board and coupled to the at least one electrode to measure physiologic signals of the patient. A breathable cover and/or an electronics housing is disposed over the circuit board and electronic components and connected to at least one of the electronics components, the printed circuit board or the breathable tape.
