Publication number: 20240099648Abstract: Provided is a system (300) for determining a sweat rate per gland and measuring biomarker concentration. The system comprises an apparatus and a sensor (166). The apparatus receives sweat from the skin and transports the sweat as discrete sweat droplets to the sensor. The sensor senses each of the counted sweat droplets. The system further comprises a processor which counts the number of sensed sweat droplets during a time period. The processor also determines time intervals between consecutive sensed sweat droplets, and receives a measure of the volume of each of the counted sweat droplets. The time intervals and the measure of the volume are then used by the processor to identify sweat burst and rest periods of the sweat gland or glands producing the sweat. This identification process necessarily involves assigning the sweat burst and rest periods to the sweat gland or glands, such that the processor is permitted to determine the number of sweat glands involved in producing the sweat.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: EDUARD GERARD MARIE PELSSERS, KIRAN HAMILTON J. DELLIMORE, RON MARTINUS LAURENTIUS VAN LIESHOUT, LUTZ CHRISTIAN GERHARDT, PETER HERMANUS BOUMA, MARK THOMAS JOHNSON, LAURENTIA JOHANNA HUIJBREGTS

Publication number: 20240105302Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a method comprising: receiving (402), from a sensor, first data indicative of a concentration of a first substance in sweat secreted from sweat glands of a subject; determining (404) a relationship between (i) a time of occurrence of a characteristic event in relation to the concentration of the first substance in sweat and (ii) a time of occurrence of the characteristic event in relation to the concentration of the first substance in blood; and determining (406), based on the relationship and the received first data, a time window regarding the intake of a second substance by the subject. Another aspect provides an apparatus for carrying out this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: KIRAN HAMILTON J.

Publication number: 20240099647Abstract: Provided is an apparatus (100) for transporting sweat droplets (112) to a sensor. The apparatus comprises a chamber (102) for filling with sweat. The chamber has an inlet (104) lying adjacent the surface of the skin (106), which inlet permits sweat to enter and fill the chamber. The chamber has an outlet (114) from which a sweat droplet protrudes once the chamber has been filled. The apparatus further comprises a fluid transport assembly which is designed to enable the sweat droplet protruding from the outlet to become detached from the outlet of the chamber. The sweat droplet is subsequently transported by the fluid transport assembly to the sensor. Once the protruding droplet has been released from the outlet, the outlet is made available for a subsequent sweat droplet to protrude therefrom upon further filling of the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: EDUARD GERARD MARIE PELSSERS, KIRAN HAMILTON J. DELLIMORE, RON MARTINUS LAURENTIUS VAN LIESHOUT, LUTZ CHRISTIAN GERHARDT, PETER HERMANUS BOUMA, MARK THOMAS JOHNSON, LAURENTIA JOHANNA HUIJBREGTS

Publication number: 20240090799Abstract: A device (1) for determining sweat parameters of a user is provided, which device comprises a microfluidic structure (10) having a collection chamber (16) configured to collect sweat from a first skin area (i), and a sensor (12) configured to determine a sweat parameter from sweat from the first skin area (i). The device also comprises an evaporation control chamber (14), which is connected to the microfluidic structure (10), configured to utilize fluid collected at a second area (ii) to moisten the microfluidic structure (10). The moistening of the microfluidic structure (10) aims to increase the available sweat for the sensor to determine a sweat parameter, by increasing the humidity inside the microfluidic structure (10) and thus, decreasing the evaporation of sweat. A method for determining sweat parameters of a user is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: MARK THOMAS JOHNSON, RON MARTINUS LAURENTIUS LIESHOUT, LUTZ CHRISTIAN GERHARDT, EDUARD GERARD MARIE PELSSERS

Patent number: 10525212Abstract: A single use injector is a disposable injection device that is specifically optimized for production using the blow fill seal (BFS) manufacturing process and includes various mechanisms that render the device inoperable and facilitate its safe disposal after use. The single use injector incorporates an ampoule aseptically filled with a medication that is coupled to a hermetically sealed component system. The hermetically sealed component system incorporates various mechanisms that are actuated during the use of the injection device. The injection device is encased in a removable overtube that prevents contamination. upon removal of the overtube, the injection device is activated, by compression of a needle cap that irreversible punctures the ampoule in order to inject the medication through a needle. The injection device additionally incorporates a shield that deploys over the needle following injection of the medication into a patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Adar MedTech, Inc.Inventors: Daniel William Thornton, Mark Christian Johnson
