摘要:
Personal diagnostic devices including diagnostic patches (bio-patches) andinteractive medical bracelets (bio-bracelets) are provided with a skin/patchinterface, atleast one analysis layer, a signal processing layer, and a user outputinterfaceEmbodiments of the interactive diagnostic devices may include micro-fluidiccircuits withreaction chambers, analysis chambers, mixing cambers, and various pre-disposedchemistries or reagents for performing a wide verity of tests by trans-dermaltransport ofblood or perspiration. Sample collection chambers for the fluidic circuit mayincludeminimally invasive tubules that penetrate the skin surface to acquire bloodsamples fromcapillaries near the epidermis. Alternate implementations of the personaldiagnostic devicemay be equipped with logic processing, input/output devices, acousticmicrophones,cryogenic circuits, embedded processors, electrical control circuitry, andbattery currentsources or photovoltaic sources of electrical power.
