Abstract
A removable base of a wearable medical monitor includes a mating surface configured to reversibly couple the removable base to a body of the wearable medical monitor. The removable base may also include certain functional features, such as a sensor configured to detect a physiological parameter of a patient and/or a memory configured to store data for identifying characteristics of the sensor or the patient.
Claims28
A wearable medical monitor, comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a removable base;
- mating surfaces on the body and the removable base positioned to reversibly couple the removable base to the body;
- a memory carried by the removable base, the memory configured to store data for identifying a patient;
- and
- a switch disposed on the removable base and activated by coupling of the removable base to the body, the switch providing power to the body when activated.
4 more elements
A wearable medical monitor, comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a processor configured to receive data from a physiological sensor;
- a memory configured to store the data;
- a sensor port;
- and
- a conformable identification bracelet;
- and
- a base carried by the identification bracelet and relatively more rigid than the identification bracelet, wherein the base is dimensioned to support the body,
- wherein the base comprises a mechanical lock engaging a complementary surface of the body to reversibly couple the base to the body.
6 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving, using a processor of a body of a wearable medical monitor, data for identifying characteristics of a first sensor of a first removable base of the wearable medical monitor from the first removable base when the body is coupled to the first removable base;
- directing, using the processor, the first sensor to obtain a first physiological parameter of a first patient when the body is coupled to the first removable base;
- receiving, using the processor, data for identifying characteristics of a second sensor of a second removable base of the wearable medical monitor from the second removable base when the body is coupled to the second removable base after decoupling from the first removable base;
- and
- directing, using the processor, the second sensor to obtain a second physiological parameter of a second patient when the body is coupled to the second removable base.
