Abstract: Diagnostic patches and bracelets for promoting personal and community health including related processes, methods, and systems are directed to fever patches and fever bracelets for school and university health and wellness including mitigation of the spread of infectious diseases and contact tracing during an epidemic or pandemic. Other populations addressed by these methods include nursing homes, office buildings, and factories as well as the general citizenry of entire cities, counties, states, and even countries at large. Further apparatus and devices include disease detection patches and disease detection bracelets for identifying the onset of an infection and for detecting the present of antibodies to such infectious diseases. Related mitigation and contact methods for several different addressed groups and large populations are also provided for these disease detection patches and bracelets.

Abstract: A patch can include a wearable component configured to allow the patch to be worn on a user, and a sensor component implemented relative to the wearable component. The sensor component can include a transducer configured to generate an electrical signal based on a snoring sound. In some embodiments, such a patch can be utilized in a system for reducing snoring of the user. The system can include a patch generating a first signal indicative of a snoring sound, and a control unit configured to generate a second signal based on the first signal, with the second signal being configured to allow actuation of a stimulus that reduces snoring activity associated with the snoring sound. The system can further include a sleep adjustment device in communication with the control unit and configured to generate the stimulus based on the second signal.
