<p>Physiological monitoring can be provided through an actigraphy sensor (64) imbedded into an electrocardiography monitor (12), which correlates movement and electrocardiographic data. Physiological monitoring can be provided through a wearable monitor (12) that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch (15) and a removable reusable monitor recorder (14). The monitor (12) sits centrally on the patient's chest along the sternum (13). The patient can place a patch (15) anywhere within the general region of the sternum (13). The occurrence of actigraphy events are monitored by the recorder (14) through an actigraphy sensor (64). Actigraphy becomes a recordable actigraphy event occurrence when the movement of the monitor (12) and, therefore, the patient (10, 11), exceeds a criteria threshold of acceleration or deceleration as detected by the actigraphy sensor (64). Certain actigraphy event occurrences are considered actionable, of sufficient importance to warrant flagging for further consideration to a following physician.</p> |
