Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a wearable armband equipped with a non-invasive recording device that can continuously measure blood parameters—such as blood glucose, lactate, or oxygen levels—in the blood vessels of the arm. The armband includes a pressure-adjustment system with sensors to ensure optimal and consistent skin contact during measurement, improving the accuracy and repeatability of the readings. The device utilizes microwave spectroscopy and smart electronics to analyze blood composition without the need for blood extraction.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Continuous blood glucose monitoring for diabetes patients without the need for finger pricks.
  • Remote health monitoring for hospital patients or outpatients with chronic conditions.
  • Fitness and wellness tracking, including measurement of lactate or oxygen levels during exercise.
  • Early detection of abnormal blood parameter fluctuations for preventive healthcare.
  • Integration into telemedicine platforms for real-time data sharing with healthcare providers.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Non-invasive and painless measurement, eliminating the need for regular blood sampling.
  • Enables continuous, real-time monitoring of critical blood parameters, leading to better disease management.
  • Improved accuracy and reproducibility due to automated, optimized pressure application on the arm.
  • Increased patient comfort and compliance, especially for those needing frequent or long-term monitoring.
  • Wireless data connectivity for integration with digital health records and alert systems.

Patent Abstract

The arm band (100) comprises a recording device (101) for recording a blood count parameter in a blood vessel of arm, and an adjusting device (103) for setting a predetermined contact pressure on the arm. The adjustment device includes sensor mediums for measuring an actual contact pressure on the arm and control medium for adjusting predetermined contact pressure. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating an arm band with a recording device for recording a blood count parameter in a blood vessel of arm.
