Detailed Description

The adhesive patch for physical activity monitoring and the physical activity monitoring system according to the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are in a simplified form and are not to precise scale for the purpose of facilitating and clearly explaining the embodiments of the present invention, and only a part of the corresponding structure is shown in each drawing, and the actual product may be changed according to the actual display requirement.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides an adhesive patch for monitoring physical activity, which includes a fixing patch 10, and a flexible circuit board 11, a power module 12, a monitoring module 13 and a wireless communication module 14 enclosed in the fixing patch 10.

The shape of the fixing sticker 10 can be arbitrary, the size of the fixing sticker 10 can be very small, for example, the size of one button is small, the fixing sticker 10 can be made of flexible materials such as silica gel stickers or magic tapes, and the fixing sticker can be conveniently attached to clothes (such as socks, shoes, head bands, hats, collars, cuffs and the like), hair or skin of a user. It should be noted that the meaning of "package" in which the fixing sticker 10 packages the flexible circuit board 11, the power module 12, the monitoring module 13, and the wireless communication module 14 is not limited to a sealed package, and a corresponding replacement portion may be left according to whether the battery of the power module 12 and/or the monitoring module 13 can be replaced, preferably, the replacement portion left by the fixing sticker 10 is made of an elastic and stretchable material, so that the battery of the power module 12 and/or the monitoring module 13 can be conveniently taken out during replacement, and can be firmly connected with the flexible circuit board 11 after replacement without being easily detached.

The power module 12 is used for providing power for the monitoring module 13, the wireless communication module 14 and the flexible circuit board 10. The power module 12 may include a power circuit 122 electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 10 and a battery 121 electrically connected to the power circuit 121. The battery 121 may be a non-rechargeable battery (in which a replacement part for replacing the battery is required to be left in the sticker 10), or a rechargeable battery (in which a charging interface is required to be left in the sticker 10 or a replacement part for replacing the battery is required). Preferably, the battery is a flexible battery that is deformable in response to deformation of the mounting patch 10, the flexible battery including a printed electrochemical cell (cell) with an anode and a cathode, at least one of the anode and the cathode being formed of cured or dried ink, the flexible circuit board having respective battery electrode contacts electrically coupled to the anode and the cathode, respectively. The power circuit 122 may manage the battery 121 for charging, over-current protection, and voltage transformation output, and the power circuit 122 may be some existing micro power management chips.

The monitoring module 13 is configured to collect physical activity data of the user, the physical activity data may include at least one of heart rate, respiration, heat flow, sweat, body temperature, bioelectrical impedance, oxygen uptake, calorie consumption, stride frequency, and the like, and thus the monitoring module 13 may include at least one of an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a heart rate sensor, a blood oxygen sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a galvanic skin response sensor, a bioelectrical impedance sensor, a temperature sensor, and an electronic compass. The accelerometer is a basic sensor for monitoring body movement, and judges whether the adhesive patch moves by measuring the movement direction and acceleration force to judge whether the adhesive patch is in a horizontal or vertical position, so that step counting operation is achieved, and the accelerometer can be used for recording the number of steps and the step frequency. The gyroscope is used for a sensor for detecting angular motion, can be used for judging whether the adhesive sheet rotates or not and recording the rotation of a certain part of a body. An electronic compass is used for positioning the sensor of the direction of the sticker. Nine-axis motion sensors integrated with accelerometers, gyroscopes and electronic compasses are commonly used to monitor the motion of a body part. Heart rate sensors currently popular are optical heart rate sensors that use LEDs to illuminate the skin and determine heart rate levels based on fluctuations in the absorption of light by blood beneath the skin. The electrodermal response sensor is a more advanced biosensor, which uses the conductive property of human skin to send a small current to the pores, and the signal return rate is faster when a large amount of sweat is produced than when no sweat is produced, so that the level of sweat can be monitored, and the sweat content can be further analyzed to inform the body condition of the user. The bioelectrical impedance sensor is a more advanced comprehensive biosensor, can realize blood flow monitoring through the self impedance of a biological organism, and converts the blood flow monitoring into specific heart rate, respiration rate and a skin-electricity reaction index. A blood oxygen sensor is a sensor that senses the partial pressure of oxygen in blood and converts it into a usable output signal. A blood pressure sensor is a sensor that senses blood pressure and converts it into a usable output signal. It follows that the more sensors for physical activity monitoring that are encapsulated in the wafer, the more powerful the monitoring module 13 is, the better the physical activity monitoring will be. However, since the volume of the sticker 10 is limited and cannot accommodate too many sensors, it is preferable that the sensors in the monitoring module 13 are detachably connected to the flexible circuit board 11, and the sensors can be replaced, so that the functions of the monitoring module 13 can be replaced according to the needs of the user. For example, when a user needs to monitor heart rate, a heart rate sensor (or a pulse sensor) is placed at a position where the flexible circuit board 11 is used for placing the sensor, and the fixing sticker 10 is attached to a wrist, a heart mouth and the like of the user, so that the heart rate can be measured, that is, the monitoring module 13 is a heart rate sensor (or a pulse sensor) and has a function of collecting heart rate data (namely, monitoring the heart rate); and then the user need monitor the body temperature again, can replace temperature sensor this moment to heart rate sensor (or pulse sensor)'s position, just can measure the body temperature, promptly this moment monitoring module 13 is temperature sensor, and its function is for being used for gathering body temperature data (monitor the body temperature promptly).

The wireless communication module 14 is configured to wirelessly communicate with an external processing terminal (shown as 20 in fig. 4), and send the physical activity data collected by the monitoring module 13 to the processing terminal. The wireless communication module 14 may include an antenna 141 and a wireless communication chip 142. In this embodiment, the communication protocol of the wireless communication module 14 is preferably a ZIGBEE protocol, so that the characteristics of the protocol, such as ad hoc network, low power consumption, and transmission distance greater than 2KM, can be utilized to uniformly transmit data of multiple stickers to the processing terminal for processing, for example, each sticker transmits motion data back every 100ms to the processing terminal for processing, so as to realize the collection of activity data of multiple body parts of one user, or realize the collection of activity data of the same body part of multiple users, after the processing terminal analyzes the data transmitted back by each sticker, a corresponding analysis report is obtained for reference by related personnel, for example, data such as pace frequency, body temperature, and heart rate are displayed to related personnel in the form of a graph. Therefore, the adhesive sheet can be used singly or simultaneously, and can meet the requirements of individual use and team use.
