Definitions
- the illustrative embodiments relate generally to medical treatment systems and, more particularly, to pressure switches, transmitters, systems, and methods for monitoring a pressure at a tissue site.
- Tissue sites on a patient's body often experience varying levels of pressure due to the position or behavior of the patient.
- a patient or caretaker may desire to know whether the pressure exerted on a particular tissue site is excessive.
- the foot ulcers experienced by a diabetic patient may undergo varying levels of pressure due to certain behaviors, such as walking. Off-loading shoes or boots may be used to alleviate pressure on the foot ulcer, but do not always effectively reduce the pressure on the foot ulcers.
- more than 82 percent of diabetic patients may also lack the protective sensation to determine whether excessive amounts of pressure are being exerted on the ulcer. This lack of protective sensation may be caused by peripheral neuropathy, which often afflicts diabetic patients having ulcers.
- an apparatus for monitoring a pressure exerted on a tissue site includes a pressure switch adapted for placement adjacent the tissue site.
- the pressure switch includes an antenna operable to receive a first signal, a diode disposed adjacent the antenna, and a membrane covering the antenna and the diode.
- the membrane is movable from an impressed position to a pressed position when a force is exerted on the membrane to cause electrical communication between the antenna and the diode.
- the antenna is operable to send a second signal when the membrane is in the pressed position.
- the apparatus may also include a transmitter operable to emit the first signal to the antenna. The transmitter may output an alert when the transmitter receives the second signal.
- a method for monitoring a pressure exerted on a tissue site includes receiving a first signal from a transmitter, detecting a force at the tissue site, and sending a second signal to the transmitter in response to detecting the force.
- a method for monitoring a pressure exerted on a tissue site includes sending a first signal from a transmitter, and outputting an alert in response to receiving a second signal from a pressure switch adjacent the tissue site.

- FIGURE IB illustrates a bottom view of the foot shown in FIGURE IA
- FIGURE 2 illustrates a top view of a pressure switch of the system of FIGURES IA and IB according to an illustrative embodiment
- FIGURE 3 A illustrates a cross-sectional side view of the pressure switch of FIGURE 2 taken along line 3A-3A;
- FIGURE 3B illustrates a cross-sectional side view of the pressure switch of FIGURE 3 A, the pressure switch being shown in a pressed position
- FIGURE 4 illustrates a perspective view of a transmitter of the system of FIGURE IA according to an illustrative embodiment.
- a system 100 for indicating a pressure exerted on a tissue site includes a transmitter 106 and at least one pressure switch 110.
- two tissue sites 102, 104 are located on a foot of a patient 107.
- Pressure switch 110 is positioned at the tissue site 102
- a second pressure switch 112 is positioned at the tissue site 104.
- the transmitter 106 is worn by the patient 107 and emits a first signal 108.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 receive the first signal 108 from the transmitter 106.
- Each of the pressure switches 110, 112 is capable of detecting the pressure exerted on the tissue sites 102, 104.
- the pressure switch 110 may emit a second signal 114 when the pressure exerted on the tissue site 102 exceeds an amount that changes the state of the pressure switch 110.
- the pressure switch 112 may emit a second signal 116 when the pressure exerted the tissue site
- the transmitter 106 may alert the patient 107 in a variety of ways, such as by vibrating or emitting an audio or visual alert.
- the first and second signals 108, 114, 116 may be any wireless signal, including, without limitation, electromagnetic, radio, or Bluetooth signals.
- the tissue sites 102 and 104 in the example of FIGURES IA and IB, are foot ulcers 103, 105.
- the 105 may alert the patient 107 when there is excessive pressure on the foot ulcers 103, 105. Such an alert may be used when the patient 107 may be otherwise unable to properly determine the pressure being exerted on the foot ulcers 103, 105, such as when the patient 107 suffers from peripheral neuropathy. By alerting the patient 107 when excessive pressure is being applied to the foot ulcers 103, 105, the patient 107 may take measures to alleviate the pressure on the foot ulcers 103, 105, such as by altering the patient's position, weight distribution, or movement. Thus, aggravation or worsening of the foot ulcers 103, 105 may be prevented.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 have been described as being used with foot ulcers 103, 105, the pressure switches 110, 112 may instead be placed on or adjacent to any part of the patient's 107 body, including those parts where ulcers or other wounds may be subjected to prolonged pressure.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 may be placed on or adjacent the patient's 107 heel, shoulder blades, or buttocks.
- any number of pressure switches 110, 112 may be placed on the patient's 107 body, depending upon the number of tissue sites to be monitored by the system 100.
- the transmitter 106 may output a different alert depending on the pressure switch from which the second signal is received. For example, the transmitter may output a different audio alert depending on whether the transmitter 106 receives the second signal 114 from the pressure switch 110 or the second signal 116 from the pressure switch 112.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 may be placed adjacent the tissues sites 102 and 104 by adhering the pressure switches 110, 112 to locations other than the tissue sites 102, 104 themselves.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 may be adhered, or otherwise placed, on an article of clothes worn by the patient 107, including, without limitation, a shoe, off-loading boot/shoe, shirt, or sock, such that the pressure switches 110, 112 are adjacent the tissue sites 102, 104 when the article is worn.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 may be adhered to an insole, or inner surface, of an off-loading boot intended to alleviate pressure from the foot ulcers 103, 105 such that the pressure switches 110, 112 are adjacent the foot ulcers 103, 105 when the boot is worn by the patient 107.
- the transmitter 106 is secured to the patient's leg 118 by a strap
- the transmitter 106 may be secured to any part of the patient's 107 body, an article being worn by the patient 107, or coupled to one or more of the pressure switches 110,112. Also, in lieu of or addition to the strap 120, the transmitter 106 may use any attachment mechanism to directly or indirectly attach to the patient's 107 body, such as a buckle, velcro, a magnet, a hook, a harness, or any other attachment device. In another embodiment, the transmitter 106 may not be secured to the patient's 107 body, but instead held or placed in an article worn by the patient 107, such as a pocket or purse.
- the location and attachment mechanism used by the transmitter 106 may depend on the output that is emitted by the transmitter 106 when the second signals 114, 116 are received. For example, if the transmitter 106 emits an audio, visual, or vibrational output, the transmitter 106 may be located where the transmitter 106 may be heard, seen, or felt by the patient 107, respectively.
- a tactile feedback device may be coupled to, adjacent, or inside one or both of the pressure switches 110, 112.
- the pressure switches 110, 112 and one or more tactile feedback devices may be located inside of an article of footwear, such as an off-loading boot.
- the tactile feedback device may output a tactile alert to the patient 107.
- the tactile alert may include vibration, including one or more taps, or electrical stimulation.
- the pressure switch 110 includes an antenna 122 and a diode 124 that is separated from the antenna 122 by a gap 126.
- the pressure switch 110 also includes a membrane 128 that is movable between an unpressed position 130 and a pressed position 132 based on a force 134 exerted on the membrane 128.
- the force 134 which may be a pressure
- the membrane 128 moves from the unpressed position 130 to the pressed position 132 to cause electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124.
- the electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124 causes the antenna 122 to emit the second signal 114, which may be received by the transmitter 106 and cause the transmitter 106 to output an alert.
- a patient may be alerted when the pressure or force on a tissue site collapses the membrane 128 into the pressed position.
- the antenna 122 may be formed from a conducting conduit 136.
- the conducting conduit 136 may be made from any conducting material, such as metal.
- the metal used to form the conducting conduit 136 may be stainless steel or any resilient material that is capable of returning to an original shape after the force 134 is removed.
- the conducting conduit 136 may also form a spiral, such as that shown in Figure 2.
- An inner portion 137 of the spiral may terminate at about the center 138 of the pressure switch 110, and an outer portion 139 of the spiral may terminate at a periphery 140 of the pressure switch 110. In one embodiment, the outer portion 139 may terminate just before reaching the diode 124 to form the gap 126.
- the pressure switch 110 may be a passive device that does not require an independent power source, such as a battery.
- the first signal 108 from the transmitter 106 may cause the diode 124 to agitate or have a current.
- the membrane 128 may directly or indirectly touch both the antenna 122 and the diode 124 to electrically bridge the gap 126, or close the circuit, between the antenna 122 and the diode 124. In this manner, any agitation or current from the diode 124 is communicated to the antenna 122, thereby causing the antenna 122 to emit the second signal 114.
- the material from which the membrane 128 is formed may facilitate electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124 when the membrane 128 touches both the antenna 122 and the diode 124.
- the membrane 128 may be formed from a conducting material, such as metal.
- an inner surface 142 of the membrane 128 may be coated, or otherwise include, a conducting material.
- only a portion 144 of the inner surface 142 of the membrane 128 may be coated, or otherwise include, a conducting material.
- the membrane 128 is shown to form a dome shape, the membrane 128 may have any shape that allows the membrane 128 to have impressed and pressed positions.
- the membrane 128 may be a button that, when pressed, causes electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124 by electrically bridging the gap 126.
- the pressure switch 110 also has a low-profile, which may allow the pressure switch 110 to be unobtrusively placed adjacent a tissue site or hide the pressure switch 110 when located under an article of clothes worn by a patient.
- the low-profile of the pressure switch 110 facilitates the placement of the pressure switch 110 on a patient's foot while the patient wears a shoe or off-loading boot, and may help to reduce discomfort experienced by the patient.
- the perimeter 146 of the pressure switch 110 has an approximately square shape
- the perimeter 146 may have any shape, such as a circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, or customized shape.
- a user may cut, or otherwise shape, the pressure switch 110 to adapt to the tissue site or other object adjacent to which the pressure switch 110 will be applied.
- the amount of force 134 required to move the membrane 128 from the unpressed position 130 to the pressed position 132 may depend on a variety of factors. Such factors may include, without limitation, the shape of the membrane 128, the thickness of the membrane 128, the material from which the membrane 128 is formed, the curvature of the membrane 128, and the conductivity of the membrane 128. One may desire to adjust the amount of force 134 that is required to move the membrane 128 from the unpressed position 130 to the pressed position 132 for a variety of reasons. For example, the force 134 may be varied based on the location of the tissue site adjacent to which the pressure switch 110 is to be placed to take account of the varying amounts of pressure normally experienced by different parts of the body.
- the membrane 128 may move from the pressed position 132 to the impressed position 130, including any position intermediate between the pressed position 132 and the impressed position 130. In the impressed position 130, the membrane 128 does not electrically bridge the gap 126 between the antenna 122 and the diode 124. Little or no electrical communication may occur across the gap 126 when the membrane 128 is in the impressed position 130.
- the pressure switch 110 may include a padding layer 148. The antenna 122 and the diode 124 are disposed between the padding layer 148 and at least a portion of the membrane 128.
- the pressure switch 110 may also include an adhesive layer 150 that is adapted to adhere the pressure switch 110 adjacent or onto a tissue site.
- the adhesive layer 150 is located on a contacting side 152 of the pressure switch 110, which may adhere, or otherwise contact, a tissue site or an object adjacent or near the tissue site.
- the padding layer 148, the antenna 122, or the diode 124 may be disposed between the adhesive layer 150 and at least a portion of the membrane 128.
- the padding layer 148 may buffer, or otherwise provide separation, between the antenna 122, diode 124, or membrane 128, and the surface onto which the pressure switch 110 is adhered.
- the padding layer 148 may prevent the antenna 122 and the diode 124, which may be formed from metal, from irritating or touching a tissue site to which the pressure switch 110 may be adhered.
- the padding layer 148 may be composed of any cushioning or shock-absorbing material, such as a gel.
- the padding layer 148 may have adhesive characteristics such that the padding layer 148 may incorporate the function of the adhesive layer 150, dispensing with the need to include a separate adhesive layer 150.
- the force 134 that causes the membrane 128 to move from the impressed position 130 to the pressed position 132 may be from any source, such as those described with respect to FIGURES IA and IB.
- the force 134 may be from contact with an object that is pressed against the tissue site as a result of the position or movement of the patient.
- a floor or shoe may press against the membrane 128 as a result of walking when the pressure switch 110 is adhered to a plantar region of the patient's foot.
- the contacting side 152 of the membrane 128 contacts an object, such as an article of clothes, adjacent the tissue site the force 134 may originate from contact with the tissue site itself.
- the pressure switch 110 is adhered to the insole of a shoe, the plantar portion of a patient's foot may directly or indirectly press against the membrane 128 as the patient walks.
- the membrane 128 may collapse into the pressed position 132 due to the force 134 on the membrane 128, and cause electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124.
- the antenna 122 may emit the second signal 114 in response to this electrical communication between the antenna 122 and the diode 124.
- the second signal 114 may be received by the transmitter.
- the transmitter 106 is shown according to an illustrative embodiment.
- the transmitter 106 outputs an alert to a patient upon receiving a second signal from a pressure switch, such as the second signals 114, 116 in FIGURES 1 and 3B, thereby alerting a patient that pressure is being exerted on the tissue site adjacent the pressure switch.
- the first signal 108 emitted by the transmitter 106 may serve as the power source that powers the pressure switches, which may be passive.
- the power derived from the first signal 108 may allow the pressure switches to transmit signals back to the transmitter 106.
- the transmitter 106 may continuously or intermittently emit the first signal 108.
- the transmitter 106 may include one or more output devices that allow the transmitter 106 to output an alert when a signal is received from a pressure switch.
- the transmitter 106 may include a vibrational device (not shown) located inside the transmitter 106 that causes the transmitter 106 to vibrate. Thus, a patient feeling the vibration of the transmitter 106 may be alerted to the presence of excess pressure at a tissue site.
- the transmitter 106 may also include a light emitting device 156 that emits light to visually alert a patient when a signal is received from a pressure switch.
- the transmitter 106 may also include a speaker 158 that emits a sound to audibly alert a patient when a signal is received from a pressure switch.
- the transmitter 106 may also have an electrical output device (not shown) that electrically stimulates a patient when a signal is received from a pressure switch. Other types of output devices may also be included with the transmitter 106.
- the transmitter 106 may also have any shape or size.
- one or more surfaces of the transmitter 106 may be curved to contour a patient's body, such as when the transmitter 106 is worn on the body of the patient.
- the transmitter 106 may be small in size to permit convenient and unobtrusive carrying of the transmitter 106 by the patient.
- the transmitter 106 may output an alert only when the transmitter 106 receives a signal from a pressure switch for a predetermined period of time, such as one second, five seconds, or ten seconds. In this embodiment, the patient would not be alerted by the transmitter 106 when the pressure exerted on the pressure switch is only insignificant, momentary, or for a very short period of time.
