Wearable medical devices and related systems and methods

This is a wearable medical patch designed to stick to the skin. It features a flexible material layer with several sticky hydrogel patches, each containing tiny holes. A small channel runs between adjacent sticky patches, and the hydrogel is specified to include ingredients like collagen or polyacrylamide/polydopamine.

Why it matters: The claims omit the superhydrophobic coating mentioned in the abstract, which is crucial for controlled fluid dynamics in medical sensor applications. Without it, the channels may not perform as intended for long-term wear.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateHydrogel formulation, micro-structured adhesive
