Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices and processes that produce superior photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. In various embodiments, the present devices and processes leverage load backing, conformal contact, and strain isolation mechanisms to produce higher quality and amplitude PPG signals, and provide more repeatable results than previous devices and processes. In at least one embodiment, the devices discussed herein include a rigid support structure and elastic spacer for supporting a PPG sensor and various adhesive layers.
Claims (19)
1. A patch comprising:
a silicone-based adhesive layer defining a silicone-based adhesive layer opening and comprising a first side and a second side;
an acrylic-based adhesive layer connected to the first side of the silicone-based adhesive layer, wherein the acrylic-based adhesive layer is exposed on the second side of the silicone-based adhesive layer through the silicone-based adhesive layer opening;
a rigid support structure comprising a bottom surface area defining a rigid support structure opening for a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor; and
the PPG sensor extending through the rigid support structure opening, the silicone-based adhesive layer opening, and an acrylic-based adhesive layer opening, thereby configured for directly contacting skin of a patient, wherein the PPG sensor comprises:
a first side and a second side, the second side of the PPG sensor configured for directly contacting the patient's skin; and
a spacer operatively connected to the first side of the PPG sensor, wherein the patch is configured to be attached to the patient's skin, such that when the patch is attached to the patient's skin:
the silicone-based adhesive layer is configured to attach to a first portion of the patient's skin; and
the acrylic-based adhesive layer is configured to attach to a second portion of the patient's skin, the second portion of the patient's skin corresponding to at least a portion of the bottom surface area of the rigid support structure extending through the silicone-based adhesive layer opening.
2. The patch of claim 1 , wherein the patch comprises a vertical distance between the second side of the PPG sensor and the bottom surface area of the rigid support structure.
3. The patch of claim 2 , wherein, when the patch is configured to be attached to the patient's skin, the second side of the PPG sensor is configured to press into the patient's skin.
4. The patch of claim 3 , wherein when the PPG sensor is pressed into the patient's skin, the patch is configured to exert an amount of pressure on the patient which is at least partially based on the vertical distance.
5. The patch of claim 4 , wherein the vertical distance is 10 mm or less.
6. The patch of claim 1 , wherein the spacer is elastic.
7. The patch of claim 6 , wherein the spacer is silicone.
8. The patch of claim 7 , wherein the spacer is porous.
9. The patch of claim 1 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) connected to first side of PPG sensor.
10. The patch of claim 9 , wherein the PCB collects signal data from the PPG sensor.
11. The patch of claim 10 , wherein the data from the PPG sensor is transmitted to a computing system.
