  • Patent number: 11896394
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to reliably attach an electronic module to a textile. The overall mechanical assembly of the invention includes: (a) light pipe, (b) top enclosure, (b) magnet, (c) main electronics which contains (d) the main PCB, (e) battery and (f) other electronic components, (g) bottom enclosure, which holds (h) the connector PCB, (i) module dock, (j) top textile PCB which are located above the (j) textile band and under the (k) textile pocket and the (l) bottom textile PCB and (m) fabric and laminate padding, which are located below the textile band. The invention is physically embodied by an electronic module, comprising at least one printed circuit board (PCB), comprising at least one conductive circuit and at least one electronic component; a metallic rivet, grommet or eyelet to mechanically and electrically connect the; and a textile substrate with at least one electrically conductive circuit.

  • Patent number: 11723602
    Abstract: A multi-functional health monitoring mat which enables the measurement of—but not limited to the following parameters: Weight, Plantar pressure, Bio-impedance for body composition, and Cardiovascular based measurements, such as: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Ballistocardiogram (BCG) from which additional health indicating analytics can be further extracted. The mat will be comprised of 3 separate layers: (1) A Bottom Layer, used for weight measurement, comprising force measurement sensors (2) A Middle Layer, used for pressure measurement, comprising pressure sensors in a matrix, and (3) A Top Layer, used for bio-impedance measurement, comprising conductive sensors, distributed throughout the top layer, enabling random orientation of the feet. In addition, there will be an electronic sub-system to enable communication of data and information from the bath mat to a mobile application.

  • Publication number: 20200367823
    Abstract: The present invention is constructed from: EMG electrodes, EMS actuators, and EMU and altimeter sensors. EMG electrodes: Measure EMG of the calf and plantarflexor muscles. The same electrodes can be used for EMS of the calf muscle. EMS actuators for dorsiflexor muscles and plantarflexor muscles. IMU and altimeter sensors located on each sock for detecting steps, cadence and calories burned during walking, miming, cycling and other exercises. Features are extracted from the EMG signal and are compared with the features from the previous EMG test and also with the normal standard. The improvement in condition is estimated to give feedback to the person for adjustment of therapy and other rehabilitation measures.
