    摘要: An apparatus for generating ECG recordings and a method for using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handheld device having four electrodes on an outer surface thereof, the handheld device having an extended configuration and a storage configuration. The apparatus also includes a controller configured to measure signals between the electrodes to provide signals that are used to generate an ECG recording selected from the group consisting of standard lead traces and precordial traces. When the handheld device is in the extended configuration and the first and second electrodes contact a first hand of a patient such that the first and second electrodes contact different locations on the first hand, the third electrode is in contact with a location on the patient's other hand and the fourth electrode contacts a point on the patient's body that depends on the particular trace being measured.

    摘要: A cardiac health assessment system and method for use with a handheld electronic device. The cardiac health assessment system includes an electronic device case (EDC), a plurality of electrodes, and a circuit board. The EDC secures the handheld electronic device. The electrodes include a first ECG electrode, a second ECG electrode, and a third electrode. The first ECG electrode is placed on an outer surface of the EDC. The second ECG electrode and the third electrode are placed on each side of the EDC to facilitate a thumb and fingers of a user to be placed on the handheld electronic device. The electrodes capture data indicative of the cardiac health of the user. The circuit board includes a microphonic sensor, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, and a microcontroller. The microphonic sensor and IMU sensor capture cardiac health data. The microcontroller transmits cardiac health data to the handheld electronic device.

    摘要: The invention provides a neck-worn sensor for simultaneously measuring a blood pressure (BP), pulse oximetry (SpO2), and other vital signs and hemodynamic parameters from a patient. The neck-worn sensor features a sensing portion having a flexible housing that is worn entirely on the patient's chest and encloses a battery, wireless transmitter, and all the sensor's sensing and electronic components. It measures electrocardiogram (ECG), impedance plethysmogram (IPG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and phonocardiogram (PCG) waveforms, and collectively processes these to determine the vital signs and hemodynamic parameters. The sensor that measures PPG waveforms also includes a heating element to increase perfusion of tissue on the chest.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for continuously monitoring a user to determine when cardiovascular events are likely occurring and to responsively provide a prompt to a user to engage in additional physiological assessment of the putative cardiovascular event. Additional assessment can include the user engaging an additional sensor to provide signals that are more accurate, lower noise, or otherwise improved relative to a continuously-monitoring sensor used to initially detect the cardiovascular event. Detection of cardiovascular events includes using a cardiovascular classifier to determine, based on the output of such a continuously-monitoring sensor, whether the event is likely occurring. Such a classifier can be received from a cloud computing service or other remote system based on sensor outputs sent to such a system. Use of such a classifier can facilitate reduced false-positive detection of cardiovascular events based on the continuously-monitoring sensor, and thus reduce extraneous prompts to the user.

    摘要: A health monitor that includes a spring, a spacer, a housing that comprises a front panel and an oximeter that includes a window. The spring is mechanically coupled to the housing and comprises a spring top portion. The spring top portion is configured to move between (a) a first position in which a majority of the spring top portion does not exceed the front panel by more than a centimeter, and (b) a second position in which the majority of the spring top portion exceeds the front panel and is oriented to the front panel. The spacer is of millimetric height, surrounds at least a majority of the window and is positioned between the window and the spring top portion.
