Abstract
A cordless, wireless system for providing the long-term collection of medical data that may be used in digital ECG analysis, that includes a retaining element that retains a sensor in close proximity or adjacent to a user's skin and an intelligent measuring head that obtains the information provided by the sensor and transmits the obtained information to a processing system. The processing system collates the obtained information and determines from the collated data a digital ECG response and further a blood pressure based on blood oxygenation level.
Claims20
A wearable medical device for capturing and collecting data used in performing an electrocardiogram analysis of a patient, said medical device comprising:
- an expandable/retractable band comprising:
- an electrical contact area positioned on an outer surface of said band;
- a sensor, positioned on an inner surface of said band, electrically connected to said contact area, wherein said sensor is retained firmly in contact with a body part of said patient by a retraction of said band to an initial position;
- an upper arm;
- a lower arm, wherein said upper arm and said lower arm are held in said initial position, wherein said initial position is one of a closed position;
- and a spring clip configured to:
- expand a space between the upper arm and the lower arm into which said body part may be inserted;
- and
- retract said upper arm and said lower arm toward said initial position.
A digital electrocardiogram system comprising:
- a first wearable device positioned on a left wrist of a patient;
- and a second wearable device positioned on a right wrist of a patient, wherein each of the first wearable device and the second wearable device comprise an expandable/retractable band comprising:
- an electrical contact area positioned on an outer surface of said band;
- a sensor, positioned on an inner surface of said band, electrically connected to said contact area, wherein said sensor is retained firmly in contact with a body part of said patient, said sensor configured to:
- collect biometric data associated with said patient;
- and
- a monitor module, removably attachable to said electrical contact, configured to:
- digitize said biometric data collected by said sensor;
- and transmit said digitized biometric data to a processing system.
The digital electrocardiogram system wherein the first wearable device and the second wearable devices are one of:
- a clip/tong type devices and wrist bands.
A digital electrocardiogram system comprising:
- a sensor attached to each of a plurality of positions;
- and
- an intelligent measuring head associated with each of the plurality of sensors, wherein said intelligent measuring head is removably attachable to said sensor, the intelligent measuring head configured to:
- digitize data collected by an associated one of the plurality of sensors;
- and
- transmit the digitized data to a processing system, wherein the transmitted data comprises at least identification information associated with the intelligent measuring head.
