Summary of the Inventive Concept
The inventive concept discloses a next-generation wearable physiological sensor system that adapts to an individual's unique body contours and physiological characteristics, ensuring optimal sensor contact and data accuracy, thereby revolutionizing health monitoring and personalized wellness outcomes.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a wearable physiological sensor system with a fixed elastic coupling member, which may not provide optimal sensor contact and pressure for individuals with varying body types and contours. The new inventive concept addresses this limitation by introducing adaptive, shape-memory alloy-based wearable bands and spiral-shaped elastic coupling members that adjust in real-time to maintain optimal sensor contact and pressure.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The inventive concept comprises a wearable physiological sensor system featuring a biometric sensor array integrated into a flexible, shape-memory alloy-based wearable band. The wearable band adapts to changing body contours of a subject, ensuring constant pressure and optimal sensor contact. The system includes a sensor module integrated with an adjustable, spiral-shaped elastic coupling member, providing a constant, adaptive force against the subject's skin. The system can detect a subject's body contours and adjust in real-time to maintain optimal sensor contact and pressure, ensuring accurate and reliable physiological data.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new inventive concept introduces the use of adaptive, shape-memory alloy-based wearable bands and spiral-shaped elastic coupling members, which provide a constant, adaptive force against the subject's skin, ensuring optimal sensor contact and data accuracy. This represents a significant departure from the fixed elastic coupling member disclosed in the original patent, providing a novel and non-obvious solution for personalized health monitoring.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include the use of different shape-memory alloy materials, varying sensor module designs, or integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to enhance data analysis and personalized feedback. The inventive concept may also be adapted for use in various medical and health-related applications, such as remote patient monitoring, athletic performance tracking, or chronic disease management.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the healthcare and wellness industries, particularly in the growing markets of personalized health monitoring, remote patient care, and wearable technology. The system's ability to provide accurate and reliable physiological data, combined with its adaptability and comfort, make it an attractive solution for individuals, healthcare providers, and insurance companies seeking to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
