Abstract
A wearable monitoring apparatus for monitoring at least one biological parameter of an internal tissue of an ambulatory user. Said wearable monitoring apparatus comprises at least one transducer configured for delivering electromagnetic (EM) radiation to said internal tissue and intercepting a reflection of said EM radiation said reform in a plurality of transmission sessions during at least 24 hours, a processing unit configured for analyzing respective said reflection and identifying a change in said at least one biological parameter accordingly, a reporting unit configured for generating a report according to said change, and a housing for containing said at least one transducer, said reporting unit, and said processing unit, said housing being configured for being disposed on said body of said ambulatory user.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a wearable monitoring apparatus for monitoring at least one biological parameter of an internal tissue of an ambulatory user. The apparatus includes at least one transducer with at least one antenna configured to deliver radio frequency radiation having a plurality of different frequencies between 900 MHz and 2.5 GHz to the internal tissue and to intercept the radio frequency radiation from the internal tissue. The delivery and interception occur in a plurality of transmission sessions during a period of at least 24 hours.
The apparatus further includes a processing unit configured for analyzing the intercepted radio frequency radiation and identifying at least one biological parameter according to a differential signal to detect a medical condition. The differential signal is computed from a plurality of signals obtained from electromagnetic radiation over at least one of a breathing cycle and a heartbeat cycle, including differences between inspiratory phase and expiratory phase, or differences between systolic phase and diastolic phase.
The wearable monitoring apparatus additionally includes a reporting unit configured for generating a report according to the differential signal. The transmitted and intercepted signals are used to derive biological parameters related to internal tissue, such that the report reflects medical-condition detection based on differential analysis tied to breathing and heartbeat phases. The system is associated with internal tissue monitoring over extended, repeated transmission sessions.
Claims Coverage
Independent claim clm-00001 provides an apparatus-level coverage of a wearable monitoring system that performs multi-frequency radio-frequency transmission and interception to internal tissue across at least 24 hours, computes a differential signal using breathing and/or heartbeat phases, and generates a report based on the computed differential signal. No other independent claims are explicitly identified in the provided partial content; therefore only clm-00001 is covered here.
Wearable transducer delivering and intercepting multi-frequency radio-frequency radiation over multiple sessions
At least one transducer having at least one antenna configured for delivering radio frequency radiation having a plurality of different frequencies between 900 MHz and 2.5 GHz to the internal tissue and intercepting said radio frequency radiation from said internal tissue, in a plurality of transmission sessions during a period of at least 24 hours.
Differential-signal processing based on breathing and heartbeat phases
A processing unit configured for analyzing said intercepted radio frequency radiation and identifying at least one biological parameter according to a differential signal, to detect a medical condition of the ambulatory user; and computing the differential signal from a plurality of signals of the intercepted radio frequency radiation based on electromagnetic radiation obtained over at least one of a breathing cycle and a heartbeat cycle, wherein the differential signal is computed as at least one of: (i) differences between the intercepted radio frequency radiation received during inspiratory phase and the intercepted radio frequency radiation received during expiratory phase of the breathing cycle, and (ii) differences between the intercepted radio frequency radiation received during a systolic phase and the intercepted radio frequency radiation received during a diastolic phase of the heartbeat cycle.
Report generation based on the differential signal
A reporting unit configured for generating a report according to said differential signal.
The provided independent-claim coverage is limited to clm-00001 and centers on a wearable multi-frequency radio-frequency transducer for internal-tissue transmission/interception across repeated sessions over at least 24 hours, differential-signal computation using breathing and/or heartbeat phases to identify biological parameters for medical-condition detection, and report generation based on the differential signal.
