AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a 12-lead electrocardiogram and/or rhythm strip, comprising: a) anatomically properly positioning at least 9 monitoring electrodes on a user's body for capturing information related to the electrical activity of the heart of said user, wherein each of said electrodes is electrically connected to a personal ECG device, either directly and/or via an electrode belt; b) generating ECG data from said personal ECG device for a 12-lead electrocardiogram and a Rhythm strip (e.g., 12 seconds strip), wherein said generated ECG data represent the electrical activity of the heart of said user over time (and in real-time) as obtained by said skin electrodes; and c) wirelessly transferring said ECG data to a mobile communication device (e.g., a smartphone) for locally manipulating said ECG data and/or for forwarding said ECG data to a remote data center (e.g., remote medical center).
