1. An elastic physiological patch comprising:
a patch assembly including an electronic device, and a soft patch body that is integrally formed as one piece, that encapsulates said electronic device, and that defines a chamber for receiving said electronic device, said soft patch body having a bottom wall which has an adhering surface for being adhered to the skin of a subject; and
an implant assembly mountable to said electronic device and including an implant;
wherein said implant is capable of being driven to partially pass through said patch body and is adapted to be implanted in the skin of the subject;
wherein said patch body rebounds and tightly holds said implant when said implant is inserted through said patch body, and cooperates with said implant to seal said chamber; and
wherein said patch assembly presses tightly against said implant assembly to achieve waterproof and sealing effects to thereby protect said electronic device in an interior portion of said patch assembly.
 
17. An elastic physiological patch comprising:
a patch assembly including an electronic device, and a soft patch body that is integrally formed as one piece, that encapsulates said electronic device, and that defines a chamber for receiving said electronic device, said soft patch body having a bottom wall which has an adhering surface for being adhered to the skin of a subject, and a top wall opposite to said bottom wall and cooperating with said bottom wall to define said chamber; and
an implant assembly mountable to said electronic device and including an implant;
wherein said implant is capable of being driven to partially pass through said patch body and is adapted to be implanted in the skin of the subject; and
wherein, when said implant is implanted in the skin of the subject, said top wall is free of any opening and said bottom wall of said patch body rebounds and tightly holds said implant and cooperates with said implant to seal said chamber.
