A method for monitoring a fluorescent light-emitting bead implanted in a user's body includes removably adhering an adhesive plate of a kinematic adhesive fluorescence measurement patch to a user's body. The method also includes attaching an optical plate of the kinematic adhesive fluorescence measurement patch to the adhered adhesive plate in a kinematic manner such that the optical plate is in operative alignment with the fluorescent light-emitting bead and, thereafter, monitoring the fluorescent light-emitting bead by emitting incident light from the light emitter and detecting fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent light-emitting bead with the light detector. In addition, the method optionally includes detaching the optical plate from the adhered adhesive plate and reattaching the optical plate in a kinematic manner. |
