Flexible wireless patch for physiological monitoring and methods of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. An integrated wireless patch comprising different layers, the patch comprising:
- a contact layer comprising a substrate configured to come into contact with a surface of a user, wherein the contact layer comprises one or more cutouts configured to provide flexibility and reduce strain between the contact layer and the surface of the user;
a battery layer disposed over the contact layer, wherein the battery layer comprises a battery;
an electronic layer disposed above the contact layer and adjacent to the battery layer, wherein the electronic layer comprises at least one contact pad configured to sense an electrical signal from the surface of the user; and
an adhesive spacer adaptable to be located adjacent to the contact layer and the electronic layer, wherein the adhesive spacer is configured to prevent signal leakage from the at least one contact pad.

Abstract
Provided herein is an integrated wireless patch comprising a contact layer, an electronics layer, and a battery layer. The contact layer is a substrate having gel cutouts. The electronics layer can be folded into contact with the contact layer. The battery layer can be folded into contact with the electronic layer. Further provided herein is a method of manufacturing a wireless integrated patch comprising folding a substrate comprising at least one cutout, at least one contact disk in communication with a surface of a patient through the cutout, and battery terminals, wherein the at least one cutout, the at least on contact, and the battery terminals are adaptable to be located in different layers after the substrate is folded.
