SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRO-CARDIOGRAM (ECG) MEDICAL DATA COLLECTION WHEREIN PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA COLLECTED AND STORED MAY BE UPLOADED TO A REMOTE SERVICE CENTER

摘要

A data collection unit obtains physiological data from a subject interface on a subject. The subject interface can be connected to the data collection unit. When the subject interface is connected to the data collection unit, subject interface contacts on the subject interface make contact with data collection unit contacts on the data collection unit. Some of the data collection unit contacts are for communicating physiological data from the subject interface to the data collection unit. Some of the contacts are for powering the data collection unit upon the subject interface being connected to the data collection unit and for powering down the data collection unit upon the subject interface being disconnected from the data collection unit.

主权项

1. A subject electro-cardiogram (ECG) data collection device comprising:
a removable ECG subject interface having subject interface contacts; a power source; a data collection unit comprising:
a processor programmed to obtain physiological data from the ECG subject interface and store the physiological data in non-volatile memory,a data connector configured to be physically connected to a universal data port on a computer, anddata collection unit contacts configured to be physically connected to the subject interface contacts on the ECG subject interface; the data collection device configured to provide power from the power source to the processor upon the ECG subject interface being connected to the data collection unit contacts and to interrupt power from the power source upon disconnection of the ECG subject interface from the data collection unit contacts.
