1. A system comprising:
- a first patch including;
a first flexible, stretchable substrate, a first adhesive on the first flexible, stretchable 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 flexible, stretchable substrate, the first electronics including at least one first component to provide therapy to the user and a first wireless radio, anda second patch including;
a second flexible, stretchable substrate, a second adhesive on the second flexible, stretchable 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 wireless communication device communicatively coupled to the first wireless radio of the first electronics, the wireless communication device including processing circuitry to receive data corresponding to the first biological parameter and provide one or more signals to the first patch to adjust an amount of the therapy provided by 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, stretchable substrate, a first patch to skin of a user at a first location; attaching, using a second adhesive on a second flexible, stretchable substrate, a 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 flexible, stretchable substrate, a first biological parameter of the user during a first time frame; providing, using one of a first wireless radio of the first electronics and a second wireless radio of the second electronics, signals corresponding to the first biological parameter to a wireless communication device; and providing, using the first electronics on or at east 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 system comprising:
-
a body area network comprising at least two patches, each of the at least two patches including a flexible, stretchable substrate, an adhesive on the flexible, 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, 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 a wireless communication device communicatively coupled to at least one patch of the at least two patches of the body area network, the wireless communication device including processing circuitry to receive data corresponding to the biological parameter and provide one or more signals to a first patch of the at least two patches to adjust an amount of the therapy provided by the first patch. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
