WEARABLE MEDICAL SYSTEM WITH STRETCH-CABLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A Wearable Medical System includes a support structure that is configured to be worn by a person. The WMS also includes an electronics module, a cable assembly, and at least one electrode that can be configured to be coupled to the support structure. The cable assembly includes a base member and a cable coupled to the base member. The support structure can be dimensioned relative to the person's body to be worn with tension, and be resiliently stretched under the tension. The stretching of the support structure can stretch the base member of the cable assembly, thus increasing the effective length of the cable, while reducing or even eliminating slack in the cable.

1. A Wearable Medical System (WMS), comprising:
a support structure configured to be worn by a person, the support structure dimensioned relative to a body of the person to be so worn with nonzero tension, the support structure being resiliently stretched under the tension when so worn; an electronics module configured to be coupled to the support structure; an electrode configured to be physically coupled to a skin of the person when the support structure is so worn; and a cable assembly comprising:
a base member that is substantially elongate along a main direction, the base member configured to be coupled to and uncoupled from the support structure, the base member being resiliently stretched by at least 4% along the main direction when the base member is so coupled and the support structure is so worn; anda cable coupled to the base member, the cable arranged substantially along the main direction with respect to the base member, and in which the electronics module becomes coupled electrically with the skin of the person via the cable and via the electrode when the base member is coupled to the support structure and the support structure is so worn.
