ADHERENT EMERGENCY PATIENT MONITOR

摘要

An adherent device comprises an adhesive patch to adhere to a skin of the patient. At least two electrodes are connected to the patch and capable of electrically coupling to the patient. Electrocardiogram circuitry can be coupled to at the least two electrodes to measure an electrocardiogram signal of the patient. An accelerometer can be mechanically coupled to the adhesive patch to generate an accelerometer signal in response to at least one of an activity or a position of the patient. A processor comprising a tangible medium can be configured to communicate with the electrocardiogram circuitry and the accelerometer to generate an alarm signal in response to the electrocardiogram signal and the accelerometer signal.
