Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for monitoring the dispensing of a fluid from a container. In one aspect, a system includes a conformal substrate including a mechanically flexible and an electrically insulative material, the substrate attached and conformed to a container containing a fluid; a data acquisition unit including a sensor and a signal processing circuit formed on the conformal substrate, in which the sensor transduces an occurrence of the fluid dispensing from the container into an electrical signal, and the signal processing circuit amplifies the electrical signal; a data processing unit formed on the conformal substrate and in communication with the data acquisition unit to process the amplified electrical signal as data; and a communications unit formed on the conformal substrate and in communication with the data processing unit to wirelessly transmit the processed data to a remote device.

Unobtrusive wireless electronic systems for monitoring and facilitating patient compliance

Disclosed are highly scalable fabrication methods for producing electronic circuits, devices, and systems. In one aspect, a fabrication method includes attaching an electronic component at a location on a substrate including a flexible and electrically insulative material; forming a template to encase the electronic component by depositing a material in a phase to conform on the surfaces of the electronic component and the substrate, and causing the material to change to solid form; and producing a circuit or electronic device by forming openings in the substrate to expose conductive portions of the electronic component, creating electrical interconnections coupled to at least some of the conductive portions in a selected arrangement on the substrate, and depositing a layer of an electrically insulative and flexible material over the electrical interconnections on the substrate to form a flexible base of the circuit, in which the produced circuit or electronic device is encased.

Scalable fabrication techniques and circuit packaging devices

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for acquiring and analyzing physiological signals. In one aspect, a physiological sensor device includes a substrate formed of an electrically insulative material and structured to allow physical contact of the device with the frontal region of the head of a user, a recording electrode configured at a first location on the substrate to acquire an electrophysiological signal of the user, a reference electrode configured at a second location on the substrate to acquire a reference signal to the electrophysiological signal, and a ground electrode configured at a third location at least partially between the first and the second locations on the substrate, in which the first location is posterior to the second and third locations, and in which the device is operable when electrically coupled to an electrical circuit to detect physiological signals of the user.
