Monitoring device for attachment to a surface of a subject

摘要

The invention provides a monitoring device (1) for attachment to a surface of a subject. The device comprises a data collector (2) and a processor (3) as two separate parts which can be detachably joined such that physiological signals which are detected by the data collector can be transferred to the processor for signal processing and provision of monitoring data. At least one of the data collector and the processor comprises a transducer which can convert the physiological signal to a data signal which can be processed electronically. The data collector is adapted for adhesive contact with a skin surface, and may comprise an adapter (6) for the detachable attachment of the processor.

主权项

1. A monitoring device suitable for attachment to a surface of a subject, the device comprising: a data collector and a processor, the data collector having a lower surface, adapted for adhesive contact with a skin surface of the subject and adapted for receiving a physiological signal from the surface, the data collector comprising a transmission structure for transmitting a monitoring signal which represents the physiological signal to the processor, and the processor being detachably attachable to an upper surface of the data collector and comprising a connection structure which, upon attachment, connects to the transmission structure for receiving the monitoring signal from the data collector, wherein the processor comprises an electronic circuit for processing the monitoring signal to provide monitoring data which relates to a physiological state of the subject, wherein at least one of the data collector and the processor comprises a transducer which can convert the physiological signal to a data signal which can be processed electronically, wherein the data collector comprises a base forming the lower surface and an opposite upper surface, the data collector further comprising an adapter projecting in an upwards direction from the upper surface and forming an anchoring structure cooperating with a gripping structure on the processor for the detachable attachment of the processor to the data collector and wherein the gripping structure is adapted to destroy the anchoring structure upon detachment of the data collector from the processor.
