The Future of Healthcare: Wearable Patch

Posted 2024-02-20 09:28:42

What is a Wearable Patch?
A wearable patch is a thin, flexible patch that adheres directly to the skin to continuously monitor various biomarkers and health indicators. Unlike conventional wearables like fitness trackers that monitor activity and vitals, patches are designed to stay on the body for an extended period, sometimes for days or weeks at a time without needing to be charged or removed.

Patches contain miniaturized electronic components and thin, flexible biosensors that can detect biomarkers through non-invasive or minimally invasive means. Some key features of Wearable Patches include:

- Continuous monitoring capabilities for extended periods without needing recharging or removal from the body.

- Thin, flexible, and discreet design allowing comfortable wear all day long without obstruction.

- Built-in sensors to detect various biomarkers from sweat, interstitial fluid, or blood through the skin.

- Wireless connectivity allowing real-time data transmission to linked apps or medical devices.

- Small, coin-sized form factor making them comfortable to wear discreetly.
