METHOD FOR USING PORTABLE PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER DETECTION AND MONITORING DEVICE WITH INTEGRATABLE COMPUTER MEMORY

摘要

Methods of using a physiological parameter using a portable physiological parameter detection and monitoring device are described. The devices include a removably adherable transparent film with an insulating upper surface that has two or more conductive elements within the film. The film can be adhered to a mobile device, such as a cell phone, to facilitate detecting a biological parameter such as a heart rhythm.

主权项

1. A method for monitoring a physiological parameter comprising:
providing a detection device having a transparent film with an insulating upper surface and a lower surface characterized in that the transparent film is removeably adherable to a single surface of an electronic device, two or more conductive elements wherein at least two conductive elements of the two or more conductive elements are bipolar electrodes, in electrical communication with the removeably adherable lower surface and electrically isolated by the insulating upper surface, wherein the detection device is in wireless communication with the electronic device when the detection device is adhered to the single surface of the electronic device; placing the film in contact with a mammalian surface having one or more detectable physiological characteristics; acquiring one or more detectable physiological characteristics; and at least one of storing the one or more detectable physiological characteristics on a memory and transmitting the one or more detectable physiological characteristics to another location.
