Patent number: 11779265Abstract: A handheld, conforming capacitive sensing apparatus configured to measure Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) as a mean to detect and monitor the formation of pressure ulcers. The device incorporates an array of electrodes which are excited to measure and scan SEM in a programmable and multiplexed manner by a battery-less RF-powered chip. The scanning operation is initiated by an interrogator which excites a coil embedded in the apparatus and provides the needed energy burst to support the scanning/reading operation. Each electrode measures the equivalent sub-epidermal capacitance corresponding and representing the moisture content.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignees: Bruin Biometrics, LLC, The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Majid Sarrafzadeh, William Kaiser, Alireza Mehrnia, Barbara M. Bates-Jensen, Frank Wang, Michael Flesch, Joseph Boystak, Yeung Lam
