THE WEARABLE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FIELD WAS SEGMENTED USING A COMBINATION OF IPC/CPC CLASSES TOGETHER WITH KEYWORDS

IPC/CPC subclasses related to medical devices

421.437 active patent families

IPC/CPC subclasses related to electronics

1.951.671 active patent families

In combination with “wearable”-related words in Abstract and Title of the patent documentsTOTAL: 3.791 active patent families

45.820 active patent families

related to medical devices AND electronics

Definition of the field: ( IPC = (A61B, A61F, A61H, A61J, A61M, A61N) OR CPC = (A61B, A61F, A61H, A61J, A61M, A61N) ) AND ( IPC = (G06F, G06K, G06Q, G06T, G08B, G08C, H04B, H04L, H04W) OR CPC = (G06F, G06K, G06Q, G06T, G08B, G08C, H04B, H04L, H04W) ) AND Words in abstract and title = "*wear*" OR "worn*" OR "cloth*" OR "garment*" OR "apparel*" OR "habiliment*" OR "textil*" OR "fabric" OR "watch*" OR "smartwatch*" OR "wristband*" OR "shoe*" OR "footwear*" OR "eyeglass*" OR "goggle*" OR "spectacle*" OR "headset*" OR "head-mounted" OR "head mount" OR "portab*" OR (NEAR(("arm", "band"), 2)) OR (NEAR(("wrist", "band"), 2)) OR (NEAR(("leg", "band"), 2)) OR (NEAR(("chest", "band"), 2)) OR (NEAR(("wear*", "band"), 2))
