Charles RECTOR - Edina MN, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A43B 3/00

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein relate to apparatus and techniques for aligning and coupling a sensor device to a wearable patch. A shoe apparatus is coupled to the wearable patch.

Inventors:

- Rochester MN, US
Andrew Arroyo - Austin TX, US
Charles Rector - Edina MN, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/0408
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate wearable patches having rigid inserts. The rigid insert is positioned adjacent to one or more connectors, such as studs for receiving sockets to distribute the force transferred to a patient when reconnecting a socket to the stud. The rigid insert may be sized to maintain flexibility in areas of the wearable patch. An optional adhesive layer may be applied to the wearable patch adjacent the rigid insert to reduce the likelihood of delamination of the wearable patch.
