Title:
CARDIAC MONITORING DEVICE COMPRISING WEARABLE UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/104658
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Health monitoring devices allow for monitoring of the vital signs of a subject. Wireless devices can enable a subject's cardiac and/or respiratory functions to be monitored remotely e.g. without the subject being attached to bedside equipment. A cardiac monitoring device comprises a substrate (2), electrodes (6,10) for measuring ECG signals, and an electronics module (12) comprising a data processor and a wireless transmitter. The electronics module (12) is sealed within the substrate (2) and arranged to receive the measured ECG signals. Each ECG signal associated with a heartbeat is processed in the data processor to provide key data relating to that heartbeat. The key data may comprise the temporal position of a characteristic feature in the ECG signal. The key data is provided to the wireless transmitter for transmission.
