Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a system for measuring an electrical potential at one or more positions on a subject and determining if the electrical potential measurements are taken at one or more selected positions, and methods of using the same. The system can include at least one glove having at least one electrode thereon configured to collect electrical potential measurements and at least one position sensor configured to collect position data to determine if the electrical potential measurements are taken at a specified location on the subject.
Claims73
A system for capturing electrocardiogram readings, the system comprising:
- at least one glove including,
- at least one electrode configured to measure one or more electrical potential measurements of a subject;
- and
- at least one position sensor configured to measure one or more positional measurements of the at least one electrode relative to the subject;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the at least one electrode and the at least one position sensor, the controller including a processor configured to determine if the at least one electrode is at or near a preferred measurement site for measuring the one or more electrical potential measurements at least partially based on the one or more positional measurements.

A method of determining proper placement of at least one electrode of at least one glove for determining electrical characteristics of a cardiovascular system of a subject, the method comprising:
- providing the at least one glove that includes the at least one electrode configured to measure one or more electrical potential measurements of a subject and at least one position sensor configured to determine a position of the at least one electrode relative to the subject;
- collecting one or more positional measurements using the at least one position sensor;
- correlating each of the one or more positional measurements with at least one reference location stored in memory of a controller operably coupled to the at least one glove, the at least one reference location including at least one preferred measurement site;
- and
- providing an indication regarding a position of the at least one electrode relative to the at least one preferred measurement site.
