Patent number: 12669869Abstract: The invention is a dynamic packaging system for wearable biosensors including components for securing the biosensor in place, for assisting insertion of the biosensors into the skin of a user in a fashion which guides the user to an appropriate amount of force, for sensing environmental conditions, for communicating with the biosensor and another external device running a mobile app. A receptacle holding the biosensor is the location for various electrical components enabling these functions. In separate embodiments, a cap or a peelable film is provided for a tight seal to preserve sterility inside the packaging system prior to insertion of the biosensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2025Date of Patent: June 30, 2026Assignee: AQUILX, INC.Inventors: Farshad Tehrani, Hazhir Teymourian, Brian Wuerstle

Patent number: 12478295Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable device with improvements to microneedles in a microneedle array including an off-center tip, a deflection guide indention, amorphous cavities which help the microneedles to bend during insertion into the skin. As the microneedles bend back after insertion, a number of sills extending from the microneedles help to hold the microneedles in place. Less damage is done to the microneedles and the surrounding tissue, thus reducing inflammation.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2023Date of Patent: November 25, 2025Assignee: AQUILX INCORPORATEDInventors: Farshad Tehrani, Hazhir Teymourian

Patent number: 12318224Abstract: An improved wearable biosensor device having emergent properties such as extended wear life, elimination or significant reduction of warm-up time, a user-friendly insertion process that ensures secure skin-locking immediately post-insertion, enhanced durability of microneedles against breakage, superior user experience and comfort during wear, and improved scalable manufacturability. Together, these innovations not only elevate the sensor's overall performance but also its accuracy, functionality, and reliability. This novel design and functionality guarantees that the wearable biosensor device is more efficient, provides a better experience for users and establishes a new benchmark in the industry.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: June 3, 2025Assignee: AQUILX INCORPORATEDInventors: Farshad Tehrani, Hazhir Teymourian, Brian Wuerstle
