Abstract
Antenna mounts for medical devices are described herein. An example antenna mount includes a flexible substrate configured to conform to an interior wall of a device housing. For instance, the flexible substrate includes an electrically insulative material. A hole is disposed through the flexible substrate.
Claims20
A defibrillator, comprising:
- a housing;
- an antenna mount disposed on an interior surface of the housing and comprising a material that is flexible and electrically insulative, wherein a hole extends through the antenna mount;
- a flexible antenna disposed between the interior surface of the housing and the antenna mount;
- a measurement circuit configured to detect an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a patient;
- a wire disposed in the hole through the antenna mount, the wire being connected to the flexible antenna and the measurement circuit;
- a treatment circuit configured to output an electrical shock to the patient;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine, by analyzing the ECG, that the patient is exhibiting ventricular fibrillation (VF);
- in response to determining that the patient is exhibiting VF, causing the treatment circuit to output the electrical shock to the patient;
- and
- cause the flexible antenna to transmit an electromagnetic (EM) signal indicating the ECG, the VF, and the electrical shock.
