Abstract
A personal monitoring device has a sensor assembly configured to sense physiological signals upon contact with a user's skin. The sensor assembly produces electrical signals representing the sensed physiological signals. A converter assembly, integrated with, and electrically connected to the sensor assembly, converts the electrical signals generated by the sensor assembly to a frequency modulated physiological audio signal having a carrier frequency in the range of from about 6 kHz to about 20 kHz.
Claims13
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions capable of being executed by a smartphone, that when executed by the smartphone causes the smartphone to:
- digitize and demodulate a frequency modulated ECG acoustic signal having a carrier frequency in the range of from about 6 kHz to about 20 kHz received from a built-in microphone of the smartphone to produce real time demodulated digital ECG data, and
- to display on a display screen of the smartphone information about the real-time ECG signal represented by the demodulated digital ECG data.
