Wearable devices for multi-modal monitoring of a medical condition

A wearable device for multi-modal monitoring of a medical condition, comprising:

• a flexible frame configured to be mounted to a torso of a subject according to a defined placement, the flexible frame comprising:
• a first elongated section having a first end and including a first pair of electrodes and an inertial sensor device configured to generate first measurement data representative of first chest sounds, wherein, in the defined placement, the first end is positioned adjacent a sternal centerline of the subject and the first elongated section extends towards a left midaxillary line of the subject;
• and
• a second elongated section having a second end and including a second pair of electrodes and a second inertial sensor device configured to generate second measurement data representative of second chest sounds, wherein the second elongated section is spaced apart from the first elongated section, and wherein, in the defined placement, the second elongated section extends along the left midaxillary line.

A system for multi-modal monitoring of a medical condition, comprising:

• a flexible frame configured to be mounted to a torso of a subject in accordance with a defined placement, the flexible frame comprising a first elongated section and a second elongated section spaced apart from the first elongated section, wherein each elongated section has a corresponding end and includes a corresponding pair of electrodes;
• at least one sensor device attached to the flexible frame;
• one or more memories storing instructions therein;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more memories and configured, individually or in any combination, to:
• initiate a measurement of thoracic impedance of the subject via the at least one sensor device;
• receive, from the at least one sensor device, measurement data representative of chest sounds;
• and
• exchange one or more measurement signals based on the measurement data with another device;
• wherein, in the defined placement, the first elongated section extends towards a left midaxillary line of the subject and a corresponding end the first elongated section is positioned adjacent a sternal centerline of the subject, and the second elongated section extends along the left midaxillary line.
