Publication number: 20200054226Abstract: Disclosed is a heart rhythm monitoring apparatus, including a water-proof case, a water-proof patch, at least two electrodes, a battery, and an electric circuit. The water-proof case is attached to the water-proof patch to form a water-proof space for accommodating the battery and the electric circuit. Each electrode is connected to the electric circuit, and outwards extends from the water-proof space to form a sensing end. The electrodes penetrate the water-proof patch and the water-proof patch and the sensing ends contact an animal skin. The water-proof patch provides adhesion, and the sensing ends are configured to sense electrical signal on the animal skin. The electrical signal is processed by the electric circuit, and the corresponding heart rhythm information is acquired and recorded. The present invention provides water-proof feature and possesses a simple structure, thereby improving convenience of use, prolonging operation period, acquiring a long-term record of heart rhythm information.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2018Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: Ming-Wei Hung, Chih-Liang Wu, Yi-Yuan Chiu

Patent number: 10500099Abstract: A long-term effective patch structure includes a binding layer, an absorbing layer and a water-proof layer sequentially stacked together. The binding layer has a function of attaching and fixing, and is configured to be attached and fixed on a skin. Sweat or liquid from the skin can pass through the binding layer to reach the absorbing layer, which is aligned with binding layer at the edge. The water-proof layer is water-proof and has vapor permeability, and its area is larger than the area of the absorbing layer. The outer part of the water-proof layer is attachable to the skin. Since the absorbing layer can absorb the liquid from the skin and the water-proof layer can ventilate the vapor to the outside, the skin is kept dry and comfortable and suitable to be attached to human skin for a long period of time without inducing skin allergy or discomfort.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Sigknow Biomedical Corporation LimitedInventors: Ming-Wei Hung, Yi-Yuan Chiu

Publication number: 20170164860Abstract: A long term physiological signal sensing patch, including a water protective film, an electrode layer, a conductive hydrogel layer, a block layer and a first attaching layer. The water protective film provides functions of electrical insulation, stickiness and water protection. The electrode layer includes at least two electrodes attached to the bottom of the water protective film. The conductive hydrogel layer configured beneath the electrodes is electrically conductive and sticky. The block layer is under the electrodes to block water, and accommodates the conductive hydrogel layer. The first attaching layer is provided around the block layer. Therefore, the sensing patch can be attached to the human body for a long period of time to sense physiological signal, which is further transmitted to the external apparatus for more detailed analysis, calculation or display.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2016Publication date: June 15, 2017Inventors: Ming-wei Hung, Chih-Liang Wu, Yi-Yuan Chiu

Publication number: 20160089049Abstract: A device for long term sensing and recording electrocardiogram includes a housing body, electrodes, a processing circuit, a water-proof film and at least one flexible attach layer. The housing body includes an upper body and a lower body sealed to form an internal space for enclosing the processing circuit. The middle portion of the water-proof film is sandwiched between the upper body and the lower body, and the outer portion of the water-proof film is attached to a person's skin to form a water-proof region. The flexible attach layer is beneath the water-proof film, and the electrodes penetrate the housing body to electrically connect the processing circuit. The electrodes sense electrocardiogram information, which is processed and recorded by the processing circuit. The device is suitable to wear for a long term without any interference such that the user does not feel uncomfortable even during showering, exercising or sleeping.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2015Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Ming-Wei Hung, Yi-Yuan Chiu
