Contactless measurement, monitoring and communication of bodily functions of infants and other helpless individuals

摘要

A system permits non-invasive measurement and wireless reporting of bodily functions of a subject wearing a diaper and an outer layer of clothing outside the diaper. The system comprises a butterfly housing which houses a plurality of sensors, a processor, a memory, and wireless circuitry. The butterfly housing has two double-arc shaped projections. Each double-arc shaped projection extends from an opposing side of the housing at a perimeter of the butterfly housing and has associated therewith a coupling clip. Each double-arc shaped projection and the associated coupling clip is configured to sandwich the outer layer of clothing to removably couple the butterfly housing to the outer layer of clothing without necessitating any modification to the outer layer of clothing. Every measurement of the bodily functions occurs without any direct contact between a skin of the subject and the butterflying housing.
