Abstract:

An aspect of the present invention is drawn to a patch for use with application against the skin of a user. The patch includes a substrate, a material detector, a memory, a comparator, an output component, and a power source. The material detector is disposed on the substrate and has a contact portion disposed so as to contact the skin. The material detector generates a material signal based on the amount of material contacting the contact portion. The memory has a priori material data stored within. The comparator outputs a compared signal based on the comparison of the material signal and the a priori material data. The output component outputs a readiness signal based on the compared signal and the a priori data. The power source provides power to the output component.
