Abstract

A Phono-Electro-Cardiogram Monitoring Unit that detects and monitors ECG and PCG signal comprising a phono-electro-cardiogram sensor button capable of electrical conduction of the electrical potential changes arising from the heart activity of a user or a patient. The sensor button includes a microphone which allows detection of electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal simultaneously and the detected electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal are processed by a multifunction microprocessor and the processed electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal data are stored in a memory or be transmitted to a work station or a personal cloud for further processing and storing where the data can be forwarded to authorized individuals via wireless connectivity for communication, interpretation, service and help.

Dependent claims

A Phono-Electro-Cardiogram Monitoring Unit comprising a phono-electro-cardiogram sensor button for electrical conduction of the electrical potential changes arising from the heart activity;

wherein said phono-electro-cardiogram sensor button comprising an electrical conductive button body as a first electrode to be used in contact with a part of a user or a patient's body and an electrical conductive panel as a second electrode to be used in contact with another part of the user or the patient's body for detecting the continuous electrocardiography signal of the user;
wherein, an insulating ring is provided in said electrical conductive button body for electrical isolation between said electrical conductive button body and electrical conductive panel;
wherein said phono-electro-cardiogram sensor button further comprising a circuit board provided in said electrical conductive button body and covered by said electrical conductive panel;
wherein a microphone for detecting phonocardiogram signal during each heartbeat of the user, a memory, at least one multifunction microprocessor all of which are mounted on said circuit board;
wherein, said electrical conductive button body and electrical conductive panel are electronically connected to said multifunction microprocessor;
wherein, an opening is provided on said electrical conductive panel to allow the heart sound signal reaches said microphone;
and wherein, said phono-electro-cardiogram sensor button detects electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal simultaneously and said detected electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal are processed by said multifunction microprocessor and the processed electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal data are stored in said memory.

4 more elements

A method for detecting, processing, storing and monitoring electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal, and at least one other vital sign of a user or a patient comprising:

a phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button that detects, stores and transmits electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal, and at least one other vital sign data group consisting of heart rate, pulse rate, body temperature, respiration rate and combinations thereof;
wherein,
a work station that receives, stores, processes and transmits vital sign data received from said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button;
a personal cloud that receives, stores and shares vital sign data received from said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button;
wherein,
said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button performs a full vital sign data transmission wirelessly to the work station and the personal cloud in the following events:
(1) once a day at a predetermine time;
(2) when said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button memory is full;
and
(3) when said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button performs a electrocardiography or phonocardiogram scan;
wherein,
once the data is fully transmitted to said work station and the personal cloud all content in a memory in said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button is then cleared to make room for subsequent vital sign data storing;
wherein,
said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button also responds to a measurement request sent from said work station and triggers a full data transmission;
and wherein, in the event no connection to said work station or the personal cloud is established and the storage is full said phono-electro-cardiogram monitoring sensor button performs as least one of the following actions:
(1) keeping new data as priority compared to older measurements:
cycle storage:
erase older data;
and
(2) keep pathologic data as priority before new measurements:
don't overwrite important data;
and
(3) by selection, the electrocardiography signal and phonocardiogram signal are raw data transmitted to said work station and personal cloud for processing and storing to save memory storage.
