Remote Interfacing of Extended Wear Electrocardiography and Physiological Sensor Monitor

摘要

A remotely-interfaceable extended wear electrocardiography and physiological sensor monitor recorder is provided. A sealed housing forms on a bottom surface a cavity shaped to accommodate an upward projection of a battery compartment formed on a non-conductive receptacle of a disposable extended wear electrode patch and includes a set of electrical contacts that protrude from the bottom surface and are arranged in alignment with electrical pads provided on the non-conductive receptacle. Electronic circuitry is provided within the sealed housing and includes an externally-powered micro-controller operable to execute under micro programmable control. An electrocardiographic front end circuit is electrically interfaced to the micro-controller. A wireless transceiver electrically interfaces with the micro-controller and externally-powered flash memory is electrically interfaced with the micro-controller and operable to store samples of the electrocardiographic signals.

1. A remotely-interfaceable extended wear electrocardiography and physiological sensor monitor recorder, comprising:
a sealed housing forming on a bottom surface a cavity shaped to accommodate an upward projection of a battery compartment formed on a non-conductive receptacle of a disposable extended wear electrode patch and comprising a set of electrical contacts that protrude from the bottom surface and are arranged in alignment with electrical pads provided on the non-conductive receptacle; and electronic circuitry comprised within the sealed housing, comprising:
an externally-powered micro-controller operable to execute under micro programmable control;an electrocardiographic front end circuit electrically interfaced to the micro-controller and operable to sense electrocardiographic signals through electrocardiographic electrodes provided on the disposable extended wear electrode patch;a wireless transceiver electrically interfaced with the micro-controller and operable to wirelessly interface with an external wireless-enabled device to communicate samples of the electrocardiographic signals; andexternally-powered flash memory electrically interfaced with the micro-controller and operable to store the samples of the electrocardiographic signals.
