SENSOR-ACTIVATED RHYTHM ANALYSIS: A HEURISTIC SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING ARRHYTHMIAS BY TIME-CORRELATED ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC AND NON-ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC TESTING

摘要

A method and apparatus for monitoring biosignals (e.g. bioelectrical signals) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method and apparatus for anticipating a physiological abnormality (e.g. cardiac arrhythmia) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method and apparatus moves into a high risk mode in anticipation of a physiological abnormality. In one embodiment, non-physiological risk factors may be derived from historic abnormalities (e.g. historic cardiac arrhythmia) of the user, another individual, or a population; and may be correlated with contemporary non-physiological data in order to anticipate a physiological abnormality.

主权项

1. A mobile apparatus for anticipating a cardiac arrhythmia of a user, the apparatus comprising:
a microcontroller; and a memory communicatively coupled to the microcontroller wherein the memory is configured to store a non-physiological risk factor of the user and a contemporary non-physiological datum of the user, wherein the microcontroller is configured to: compare the risk factor with the contemporary datum, and enter a high risk mode when the risk factor is correlated with the contemporary datum.
