20080312524 | Medical Sensor Having Electrodes and a Motion Sensor - A medical sensor having at least one electrode configured to be placed on a patient for medical monitoring and a motion sensor integrated in the medical sensor with the electrode, the motion sensor configured to detect patient motion and provide electrical signals in response thereto. | 12-18-2008 |
20090105602 | Staged life-threatening arrhythmia detection algorithm for minimizing power consumption - A two-stage digital algorithm uses a highly sensitive low power digital first stage to detect one or more alarm conditions, and one or more complex digital subsequent stages that identify the detected alarm condition with more specificity. The one or more complex digital subsequent stages are not activated, and consume no power, until an alarm condition is sensed by the low power consumption digital first stage. Given that the second stage will process the data more rigorously, the low power first stage can be set to be more sensitive and generate what would otherwise be excessive alarms, which are ultimately filtered out by the subsequent stages. By staging the digital analysis algorithms, the present invention achieves high sensitivity for alarm conditions with low computational throughput and low power consumption, and achieves high specificity with more computationally intensive algorithms that only run occasionally. | 04-23-2009 |
20100198044 | SHIELDED BIOMEDICAL ELECTRODE PATCH - A biomedical electrode patch having improved resistance to capacitive coupling to extraneous electric fields. The patch includes a conductive shield and a contact portion formed on an upper surface thereof. The contact portion extends through the film layer and contacts an electrode formed of a material suitable for conducting electrical signals from a patient. Conductive traces formed on the lower surface of the tab extend to contact pads. A nonconductive layer is printed over the traces and can have a shield formed thereon. | 08-05-2010 |
20120101396 | CONTINUOUS OUTPATINET ECG MONITORING SYSTEM - An ECG monitoring system for ambulatory patients includes a small multi-electrode patch that adhesively attaches to the chest of a patient. A reusable battery-powered ECG monitor clips onto the patch and receives patient electrical signals from the electrodes of the patch. A processor continuously processes received ECG signals and stores the signals in memory in the monitor. The processor also analyzes the received ECG signals for predefined arrhythmia. If an arrhythmia is detected, a wireless transceiver in the ECG monitor transmits the event information and an ECG strip to a cellphone handset. The cellphone handset automatically relays the event information and ECG strip to a monitoring center for further diagnosis and necessary intervention. | 04-26-2012 |
