Abstract:
The present disclosure facilitates capture of biosignal such as biopotential signals in microvolts, or sub-microvolts, resolutions that are at, or significantly below, the noise-floor of conventional electrocardiographic and biosignal acquisition instruments. In some embodiments, the exemplified system disclosed herein facilitates the acquisition and recording of wide-band phase gradient signals (e.g., wide-band cardiac phase gradient signals, wide-band cerebral phase gradient signals) that are simultaneously sampled, in some embodiments, having a temporal skew less than about 1 µs, and in other embodiments, having a temporal skew not more than about 10 femtoseconds. Notably, the exemplified system minimizes non-linear distortions (e.g., those that can be introduced via certain filters) in the acquired wide-band phase gradient signal so as to not affect the information therein.

Abstract:
Integrated ECG (electrocardiogram) contacts enable opportunistic heart rate monitoring on a handheld electronic device. First and second ECG contacts are integrated into the device to connect, respectively, first and second ECG electrodes to an internal ECG circuit within the device. The electrodes have vertical and horizontal portions that can be separate portions connected to a common contact, or different portions of an 'L-shaped' electrode. The electrodes are positioned on opposite sides of the device to enable opportunistic two-hand contact when the device is used in either landscape or portrait orientation. The internal ECG circuit is to detect two-hand contact by the user on the first and second electrodes, and perform ECG monitoring in response to detecting two-hand contact. A mobile device can opportunistically capture heart rate data along with user context and provide alerts if a deviation is detected between heart rate data and user activity.
