    摘要: An adherent device is configured to adhere to the skin of the patient with an adherent patch, for example breathable tape, coupled to at least four electrodes. The device comprises impedance circuitry coupled to the at least four electrodes and configured to measure respiration of the patient to detect sleep apnea and/or hypopnea. The impedance circuitry may be used to measure hydration of the patient. An accelerometer can be mechanically coupled to the adherent patch such that the accelerometer can be coupled to and move with the skin of the patient. Electrocardiogram circuitry to generate an electrocardiogram signal may be coupled to at least two of the at least four electrodes to detect the sleep apnea and/or hypopnea.

    摘要: Systems and methods of detecting an impending cardiac decompensation of a patient measure an electrocardiogram signal of the patient. An incidence of cardiac arrhythmias is determined from the electrocardiogram signal. A risk of impending decompensation is determined in response to the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias. In many embodiments, the impending decompensation can be detected early enough to avoid, or at least delay, the impending decompensation, such that patient trauma and/or expensive ICU care can be avoided. Although embodiments make specific reference to monitoring electrocardiogram and other physiological signals with an adherent patch, the system methods and devices are applicable to many applications in which physiological monitoring is used, for example wireless physiological monitoring with implanted sensors for extended periods.

    摘要: An adherent device comprises an adhesive patch with at least two electrodes and an accelerometer. The accelerometer can be used to determine an orientation of the at least two measurement electrodes on a patient. By determining the orientation of the electrodes of the patch on the patient, physiologic measurements with the at least two electrodes can be adjusted and/or corrected in response to the orientation of the patch on the patient. The adherent patch and/or electrodes can be replaced with a second adherent patch and/or electrodes, and the orientation of the second adherent patch and/or electrodes can be determined with the accelerometer or a second accelerometer. The determined orientation of the second patch and/or electrodes on the patient can be used to correct measurements made with the second adherent patch and/or electrodes.

    摘要: A device for monitoring a patient from the back of the patient comprises a support configured to adhere to the back of the patient, at least two electrodes supported with the support, circuitry coupled to the at least two electrodes to measure a signal from the at least two electrodes, and circuitry to transmit the signal wirelessly. The support and the at least two electrodes may be placed on at least one of a lower back or between shoulder blades of the patient, which can help to reduce pressure on the patient when the device is worn for an extended period, for example 1 week. Placement of the adherent device in at least one of these locations can improve patient comfort, for example by decreasing pressure to the skin of the patient from the device when the patient lies supine. The device may also provide lumbar support, for example when placed on the lumbar of the patient.

    摘要: An adherent device may be placed on a patient's chest for monitoring heart rate variability for chiropractic care. The device may comprise an adherent patch configured to adhere to the patient continuously for an extended period, for example an extended period of one week, and the HRV can be determined for the extended period. Two or more electrodes may be used to measure a cardiac signal and determine the HRV. The device may comprise accelerometers to measure at least one of posture, flexion/extension or lateral movement of the patient. The device may be placed on the patient and used in the clinic, and the patient may be sent home from the clinic with the adherent device. The device may wirelessly transmit heart rate data to an external device, such as a handheld monitor, that the chiropractor may consult during treatment.
