Heart monitoring device

摘要

The present invention includes devices, methods and systems for reporting a heart rate comprising: an input device; a microprocessor coupled to the input device and a power supply, wherein the microprocessor is programmed with a predetermined heartbeat threshold and calculates the number of times the input device is actuated over a predetermined amount of time; and a display connected to the microprocessor that receives the calculated heart rate and displays whether the heart rate is below, at or above predetermined threshold, e.g., when a patient has less than 60 heartbeats per minute, between 60 and 100 heartbeats per minute and greater than 100 heartbeats per minute.

主权项

1. A device for reporting a heart rate comprising:
an input device that receives a signal each time a heartbeat of a patient is detected, the input device being actuated by an end-user each time the patient's heartbeat is auscultated; a microprocessor coupled to the input device, wherein the microprocessor is programmed with one or more predetermined heartbeat thresholds and calculates the number of signals received by the input device based on the number of times the patient's heartbeat is auscultated over a predetermined amount of time to generate a calculated heart rate; and a display connected to the microprocessor that receives the calculated heart rate and outputs the calculated heart rate along with a unique identifier identifying which of the one or more predetermined heartbeat thresholds that the calculated heart rate resides within.
