Abstract
Some embodiments of the current disclosure are directed toward physiological monitoring of patients, and more particularly, systems, devices and methods for physiological monitoring of patients with a continuous or near-continuous transmission and analysis of monitored physiological data during the monitoring process. In some embodiments, a physiological patient monitoring system is provided which includes a physiological monitoring device which comprises a housing disposed on a patch, and the patch is configured for removable attachment to or proximate the skin of a patient, the housing including at least one memory. Antenna disposed on the housing transmit radio-frequency (RF) waves towards a targeted portion of an internal tissue of the patient and receive reflected RF waves from the internal tissue. RF circuitry in communication with the at least one memory perform an RF-based measurement of a lung fluid level of the patient during a predetermined time period.
