A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS OF LIFE SIGNS USING HEARTBEAT WAVEFORM AND BODY TEMPERATURE REMOTELY GIVING THE USER FREEDOM TO MOVE WITHIN ITS VICINITY WITHOUT WIRES ATTACHMENT, GEL, OR ADHESIVES

摘要

A system and method that uses a non-invasive method, such as a wearable module equipped with sensors placed on a subject connected to a computer-linked module, to monitor life signs like heartbeat waveforms and body temperatures. Life signs indicate the health of a living being or a dynamic system (a mechanical system containing moving parts, like motors). The health of the system is defined by a set of known good spectra (such as its frequency/wavelet transform spectrum), with deviations triggering alerts. A garment embedded with a piezoelectric material and an electronic temperature sensor, when placed in contact with the body, captures acoustic waves from the heart and body temperature. Both sensors are connected to a garment-mounted module with an embedded flexible printed antenna (WEM). A separate WEM with reconfigured daughterboard software forms a bidirectional wireless data connection to a computer. A software program compares the received spectrum to its database spectrum and alerts the user when deviation is determined by a set of rules.
